IV Committee Reports

a)     Crime watch:  It was reported that light bulbs were removed from building 13 garage area.  This was not confirmed, and could have been something that happened during a previous incident. There will be a changeover of leadership to the Bergdolls pending their return to Indianapolis.

b)     Landscape:  Tom Mock reported and submitted a proposal for duties and responsibilities of the newly created committee.  Additionally, a preliminary report of an inspection of the Villas was submitted for information to the Board.  Tom requested that the committee proceed to estimate cost of plantings for the Bogey Drive entry, the west circle and club house/pool areas.  The Board approved.

c)     Website:  Lee Harris reported on the progress of establishing a website for the Villas.  He and Dave Crook have a work in progress at:  villaswr.org   Samples of the proposed pages were reviewed.  Eventually, the newsletter, meeting minutes, schedule of events and reports of committees will be available on our computers.  This effort will cost the budget less than $10.00 per month to maintain.

 

V  Old Business

a)  Resident Anthony McCoy presented to the Board a concern relative to a heating and cooling unit installed outside his unit.  The Board will evaluate his concern and recommend follow-up.

b)  Steve Schmutte presented to the Board a revised street lighting proposal from IPL.  This proposal reduced the number of lights from the original 15 to 5.  The cost of installation and monthly maintenance will be evaluated.

c)  In response to February’s discussion on security lights along the golf course and west end of the Villas,  Steve Schmutte corresponded with the ten residents who did not respond to the initial request to install motion lights.  In response to this effort, 3 additional units will have lights installed.  Crime Watch captains will contact the remaining unit owners to encourage participation.

d) The Board directed Steve S. to reinvest the two maturing CDs along with funds from bank savings to make a two year $100,000.00 CD at a 4% interest rate.

e) The Board has begun making appointments with roofing contractors to ensure estimated costs are in line with the projected budget.  Thursday March 20th will be the initial walk thru.
