Minutes for the Special Board Meeting May 21, 2006 Meeting was called to order at 5 p.m. Present: Board Members: Bill Forrest, Dudley Kenworthy, Kim Rapp-Hanretta, Christina Sebastian Homeowners: Suzanne Doran, Joanna Dupree, Virginia Fehrenbach, Jerry Halpern, Grit Hansen, Marion Kenworthy, Pauline Larmaraud, Charles and Margaret Stein, Will Stone, Nancy Tuma. Budget: Bill Forrest reviewed the types of budgets we have (operating, reserve), and the goal of PMHOA attaining 50% funding over five years (about $57,000 of this will come from the Special Assessment). Of the Special Assessment, the PMHOA will collect $640,000 over three years. More than a third has already been collected because some homeowners have paid all three installments. We currently have $359,000 to use for special projects. It was noted that the Special Assessment fees charged by the previous board will not cover all of the projects outlined by them due to poor estimates given to the board by Massingham contractors. One homeowner suggested using reserve funds to cover any deficits rather than submitting another assessment. Management: We discussed the possibility of hiring a new management company to help us through the many projects to be completed over the next three years, and to avoid paying an on-site manager as outlined in the budget presented to homeowners last year. Forrest and Rapp-Hanretta reported that they met with Parkview Property Management (PPM) in Menlo Park, and would like the board to consider hiring them. Marion Kenworthy volunteered to check the company's references. Jerry Halpern agreed to review the standard contract provided by PPM. The board agreed to set up a brief meeting with PPM and the homeowners. Sebastian motioned, and Forrest seconded, to hire PPM pending a background check of the management company, in fulfillment of the board's responsibility of due diligence. Projects: It was reiterated that the board's main goals for this year are to solve building perimeter drainage problems, replace necessary siding, and paint all buildings. Drainage is a current and on-going project. Forrest motioned, and Kenworthy seconded, that if and when we hire the new management company, the board will charge them with assessing the appropriate amount of siding to be replaced immediately so that we can paint the entire complex. Tree removal was also mentioned as one of this year's priorities. Kenworthy motioned, and Forrest seconded, to hire Toni Bava to review plans for the refuse structures. If she approves the plans or makes only small changes, the board would then hire Bruno Hoffman to build a prototype. Forrest reported that several projects on Bruno's "to-do" list could be paid for out of the operating budget this year, including: -Fix screen doors in clubhouse -Remove mold from clubhouse and ladies' room -Repair vent pipes in clubhouse Forrest also reported that the roofing repairs and related costs at several buildings would be paid for out of the operating budget.
