Management Report
Telephone log line items were reviewed.
Management noted that there have been a total of 28 College Green
apartment-condo conversions, leaving 68 left to be converted.
Management has acquired a volunteer artist to paint the GTIA bench for
the Lisle Art Project. The benches will be previewed on May 24th at
the Lisle Hilton.
Management stated that 13 liens will be recorded on residents past due
on their 2007 assessments.
Summer board meetings for June, July and August will be held in the
Lisle Police Department training room, for no fee.
All trails on this year’s schedule have been marked for replacement,
overlay and sealcoat/crack fill.
A request is in place with Burnett Electric to replace five light
poles. Burnett previously assured the price for poles would be $727,
but costs have gone up and the poles will now be $760 each. The
consensus of the Board was that Management should purchase an
additional 7 light poles now, as there are at least five more poles
that require replacement; monies are in the budget for this expense.
Management reported that Falduto recommends another full weed and feed
fertilization in the fall; there is money budgeted for this expense.
Falduto has been unable to mow between the 7 or 8 bushes planted south
of Green Trails on the south side of the street. The consensus of
the Board was that Management should request Greg Moore submit a
proposal to mulch or add ground cover to this area as soon as
possible.
Management provided a list of April 2007 newcomers. Board Directors
are encouraged to call on newcomers in their respective areas.
Finance Committee
No report.
Maintenance Committee
Volunteers Peter Bakas, Joe Broda, Marg Hough, Tom Hough, John
Charicki and Amanda Charicki planted the 50 seedlings in the nursery
on April 28th. The Maintenance Committee will continue to monitor the
Austrian Pines planted last year on College Road. It was reported
that the Morton Arboretum is considering establishing an information
exchange project with homeowner associations. It was further noted
that the re-emergence of the Cicadas next month should not affect our
pines as the Cicadas prefer hardwoods. Betty Long mentioned that the
new bushes along College appear to have been hit with drift from the
weed spraying this past week-end and that if the bushes die, a claim
against the contractor would be in order.
Parks
Committee
Gail Robinson gave a synopsis of the April Lisle Park District Board
meeting that she attended. Julie LaFond will attend the May Lisle
Park District Board meeting. Betty Long stated that the demolition of
Timber Park playground is all the work that has been completed
to-date.
