Treasurer's Report

Joe Kowalski, Treasurer, was not present. The board did discuss the financial information. Sallie was reminded that "taxes" are not a budget item and therefore should be paid out of the money market account. This was suggested to the board by Bill Harrison, President of TPSI several years ago. Sallie to make sure the changes are completed.

Due to the payment of the large snow invoices this past winter, the budget comparison is showing that the community is in debt approximately $24,000 at the end of March. This amount was, however, handled by a special operating account and no reserves were affected. No special assessment was levied against the homeowners for the snow removal of 2003 either.

Action Items

The board decided to add the "Rules & Regulations - Proposed Changes" to the Agenda for the Semi-Annual meeting scheduled for Wednesday, May 14, 2003. General information regarding the proposed changes will be discussed. The board would like to hear feedback from the community regarding these changes.

The board discussed the repaving of another court this year. Because Benhoff has held his prices over the past 3 years, he has not been bid out. Sallie instructed to contact Doug Gardner, engineer and reserve study analyst for BHS-HOA, and have him develop the specs for Timberwolf and bid them out to 3 different companies including Benhoff.

The reserve study may need to be updated after the winter of 2003 - perhaps in Spring 2004. The board will discuss this more as that time approaches.

Old Business

The playground is still too soggy to have the ground regraded and seeded due to the weight of the equipment. The board held back $1,000 from the payment of this contract because this aspect of the job had not been completed.

Many homeowners enjoyed the recent dumpster weekend on April 12th & 13th. The dumpsters were supposed to be picked up from Harford Sanitation the Monday after this event (April 14th) however, Sallie informed the board that Bobby Hooper, Jr. called and informed her that the dump where the contaminated containers are taken to - has temporarily been closed. The closure was due to heavy usage and they needed to get caught up because the wait lines for the trucks was bordering on 2-3 hours. The dump should reopen on Wednesday (April 16th) at which time Bobby will come back to the community and pick-up an excess trash left on the courts.

The yard sale was scheduled for April 5th and was rained out. Therefore, the yard sale was held on the rain date of April 6th. It was suggested that the yard sale be scheduled "after the change in daylight savings time" next year because the morning hours are lighter earlier. It was also requested that more advance notice be given for the yard sale next year.

Sallie informed the board that the car tagged on Hidden Ridge Terrace had been moved.

The board discussed the fact that there were some vacancies on the Board of Directors due to individuals moving, getting married, and resigning. It was suggested to solicit interested individuals in the community to serve on the board through the upcoming newsletter.

Sallie was instructed to call Stephanie Vancura to see if she was interested in continuing her board membership after the birth of her baby.

New Business

The board will need some financial information from the lawyer regarding the delinquent accounts for the Semi-Annual Meeting scheduled for Wednesday, May 14, 2003. Sallie to get information so slides can be made.

Legal

It was suggested that the board review the delinquent report from the lawyer's office at their own convenience.
