II. Open Forum:

· Dead pine trees removed from homes behind Passaic Drive, homeowner sent a personal thanks to Beth

Dawn Bradley: would like to address the idea of speed bumps again as she feels the speeding problem is not improving but worsening. MaryAnn will investigate with the Public Works dept. the option of putting them at CV's expense since memory from those present indicate that the reason the ToA will not fund them is we do not have enough traffic to warrant the Town paying for their installation
discussion of other methods to slow down motorists included the installation of a second stop sign at Castleburg and Castleburg converting it to a 3-way stop, and the addition of bike lane like lines along both sides of the road
Trees on the lot at corner of Castleburg and Castleburg are impeding view when trying to turn onto Castelburg from the current stop sign. This issue is on the table in the ARB, with one current suggestion being that the HOA have our landscaping company remove the trees at the HOA's expense and provide some sort of compensation for the HO's of the property.
The burm on Holt is again not being maintained by the HO's. There was discussion of ways to solve this continuing problem including: recommendations from the ARB to send letters warning of imposing fines, Asking Fontaine to take over the maintenance of this area (historically they have been unwilling to do this since the property is actually owned by the HO and no the HOA), Pursuing bids from other landscaping companies that might be willing to maintain the property (Haddon Halls landscaping company "Green Pro", Strauss outdoor services)
Michele presents for Laura: All committees (particularly Swim team, social, grounds) and HO's could benefit from the addition of pop up tents to the inventory of the CVHOA. the cost is approximately $100/each and she is recommending 4. There is also a need for a locking cabinet to store the sound system in order to get it safely in the clubhouse. These come in a variety of styles, the exact type and cost of which is yet to be determined but the recommendation is not to not exceed $300.
David moves to approve the purchase of 4 pop ups at $100 each and a cabinet up to the price of $300. Trey seconds Michele agrees motion carries. Michele will notify Laura to proceed with the purchases

III. Establish Quorum of Board:

7:04 PM quorum established with the arrival of president Trey O’Quinn at 6:50 PM

IV. Approval of Minutes.

Minutes have not been formally documented yet for approval

V. Treasurers Report

David Randle asks for clarification of :

1) 2 exterminating services; Clegg handles the Termite contract while Aardvark handles pest issues surrounding the pool

2) Gazebo repairs have not been paid for yet.

3) The exact cost of the recycle bins: $7 deposit for each bin and an additional $2 per month fee

for usage

4) $400 spent of newsletter. This was due to the mailing following complaints from HO about

receiving such items in his mailbox that were not postmarked. It was decided that distribution

volunteers were needed to avoid this cost in the future 5) Thomas Worth’s bill, which was carry

over and had not been previously paid
