Minutes
of the Prior Meeting:
Minutes of the prior meeting
were reviewed. There was a typographical error under the Management Report
in that $246,000 in assessments have been collected not $246,00. Also,
under Old Business-New Business, it was requested to change the phrase
“follow a similar format as last year” to “follow a similar format as last
election”.
Board
Motion: Diane Cygan moved to approve the minutes of the January
meeting as amended, Jonni Miklos-Finch seconded. The motion was passed by
unanimous voice vote.
Treasurer's
Report
Joe Masek reviewed the Balance
Sheet and Income and Expense Statement.
Board
Motion: Jonni Miklos-Finch moved to accept the revised check
register expenditures of $6,064.68 for February, Diana Cygan seconded. The
motion was passed by unanimous voice vote.
Management
Report
Telephone log line items were
discussed and reviewed.
Management reported that
$326,915 in assessments has been collected from 1,872 residences. There are
105 units unpaid compared to 103 at this time last year.
The trail scheduled for
relocation across from College Square is covered with sludge as a result of
the drilling for the relief sewer project on College Avenue. Given the
status of that project, it was agreed that the trail relocation should be
postponed until next year to allow for the completion of sewer project.
After TruGreen ChemLawn supplied
information on the type of chemicals used to spray the pines, Les Lavin
checked with the Morton Arboretum and was informed this spray is not a
necessity every year; once every two to three years is adequate.
Les Lavin & Joe Broda inspected
an encroaching section of trail and presented photographs
illustrating the area.
A copy of the letter and
questions sent to the Park Commissioner candidates was submitted to Board
members. The forum will take place at the March Board meeting.
Management submitted a
Greg Moore proposal for the College Road south sign renovation to include
yellow marigolds, white petunias, black-eyed susans and recommended approval
of the plan as presented.
Board
Motion: Diana Cygan moved to accept the Greg Moore proposal as
submitted with the caveat to add red petunias next to the sign, Gerry Jackson
seconded. The motion was passed by unanimous voice vote.
Finance
Committee
Joe Masek reported that the CD
at Charter One Bank would mature on 2/15/03. Best rates available are 2.5%
for one year at Oak Brook Bank or 2.35% for 13 months at Regency Bank.
Suggestion was made that the Finance Committee look into an on-line
brokerage account.
