for the Green’s Association and the appropriate papers were signed and will be filed with the bank.
Rosie Turnis made a motion to approve the minutes and Treasurer’s Report and the motion was seconded
by Sally Orf and approved by the Board.
Lawn Care:
Brian Barnes reported that most of the fall cleanup and trimming has been completed and the results
were positive. Brian also discussed the issues involved with the current company, Clean Cut. He has
received various complaints about their performance and brought up the option of looking at another
company, Greg’s Lawn & Landscaping. It was felt that there would be similar issues with any lawn care
company, but Greg’s Lawn & Landscaping would provide us with a possible savings in the $8,000 range.
This amount would be dependent on the severity of weather and the increased need for snowplowing.
After discussion by the Board, Bob Assink made a motion to award a one-year contract to Greg’s Lawn &
Landscaping for the total of $22,347.12. The motion was seconded by Rosie Turnis and approved by the Board.
The status of unit 1556 was reviewed, which is now vacant.
By-Laws Update:
A By-Laws Committee has met over the last few months and has suggested a few additions and changes to the
existing documents. It was felt that further clarification and details needed to be addressed. Larry Cooper
asked Sally Orf to contact DJ Smith and work on these clarifications.
Lighting and Street Repair:
Brian Barnes reported that the street light should be repaired in the next ten days.
Street/driveway repairs have begun but have been delayed by rain. A dry surface is needed to complete repairs.
At 8:30 a motion to adjourn was made by Paul Zimmerman and seconded by Bob Assink.
