Minutes of the Willo-Esque Homeowners Association Board of Directors meeting held Tuesday, October 21, 2003

Roger Sackreiter called the meeting to order at the Willo-Esque apartment complex clubhouse at 7:03 p.m. Two board members, three area residents and two guests were present.

GUESTS – Eric Hiser and Byron Chrisler of the Ashley Park Homeowners Association gave a presentation on the commercial development plans for the property on Maple Street across the street south of Ashley Park. Those plans include a 128,000 square foot (275’ x 475’) Target store, several restaurants, and other businesses. The matter will come before the city’s District Advisory Board at their meeting on November 3, 2003 at Auburn Hills, 443 S. 135^th St. West.

MINUTES – After review of the minutes of the May 13, 2003 HOA meeting, Tammy Moore moved to approve the minutes as printed. Roger seconded the motion and it passed without opposition.

OLD BUSINESS – Roger said that five area homeowners are still delinquent with their dues. He homeowners association has now hired a new lawyer whom it is hoped will be more aggressive in pursuing delinquent homeowners.

The wooden fence has been taken down at the southwest corner of the wheat field and it will be replaced with one of concrete.

Inferior materials were used in the remodeling of the bathrooms at the swimming pool and the job needs to be completely redone. The contractor, Minihan’s Construction, sent a letter saying they would be out the first week in September but then did not do so. Now, they are not returning Roger’s phone calls so the matter will be turned over to the HOA’s new attorney.

FINANCIAL REPORT – After some discussion about the increase in insurance costs for the area, Bob Lawrence volunteered to get some information from the Breezy Point HOA for comparison. Roger then moved to approve the financial report as presented. Tammy seconded the motion and it was approved without opposition.

SOCIAL COMMITTEE – Roger said the next area social event will be a hot dog roast at the pool complex before the kids go out trick-or-treating between 4:45 p.m. and 5:45 p.m. on October 31^st.

Santa Claus will make his annual appearance to visit with the children of Willo-Esque at the Maple Ridge Apartment complex meeting room on December 18^th.

AREA SECURITY - Roger proposed installing electronic keys and security cameras at the pool and tennis courts and new lighting in the common areas over the next several years. No action was taken.

COMMON GROUNDS – Roger said sprinkler systems will be winterized after Halloween. An area resident has also volunteered to replace the basketball backboard and rim in Fourth Addition.

MOWING STATUS – Roger said the mowers are to be tuned up over the winter.

SIDEWALK STATUS – Roger said money will be budgeted next year to repair the cracked sidewalks in the area.

POOL COMPLEX STATUS – Roger announced plans to set aside money in the 2004 budget to replace 50’ of wooden fence north of the pool house with concrete fencing.

PLAYGROUND STATUS – Roger said that volunteers are being sought to paint the playground equipment by the double tennis courts.

TENNIS COURT STATUS – Roger reported that the east tennis court needs a new net and bids will be sought to seal the seams in the courts.
