Management
Report
Telephone log line items were discussed and reviewed. Management noted
an additional past due assessment has been paid. Several more calls
have been received regarding restrictions on satellite dishes for
Internet access. Village of Lisle will govern these height
restrictions.
Management presented confirmation that the willow tree behind HF1039
is actually in the common area. The Board recommended that management
inform the HF1039 resident that GTIA will request Piper Tree Service
to remove the willow. GTIA will assume the costs to remove the tree,
but cannot cost share for a replacement tree.
Management submitted estimates for a replacement bench in Garden
Park. The Board recommended that each board member visit the Garden
Park area and inspect the existing bench prior to the next Board
meeting. In the interim, Management will contact the Park District to
inquire about cost-sharing installation and maintenance of a
replacement bench similar to benches the Park District is purchasing.
Management reported a drainage problem behind PRM148 & 149.
Board Motion: Les Lavin moved to engage Engineer, Tim Klass to inspect
the area and present a solution, at a cost not to exceed $500, Jerry
Dellacqua seconded. The motion was passed by unanimous voice vote.
Management has noted numerous areas where water is accumulating due to
inappropriate sump pump maintenance. The Board recommended that
management send letters of notification to said residents.
Finance Committee
All committee members are requested to initiate preparation of
projected budget requests for special projects during 2002. The
Finance Committee needs to start preparing an outline of the 2002
budget by August, to be ready for the September Board meeting.
Maintenance Committee
Les Lavin had nothing new to report.
Communications Committee
Joan Dudas reported that the Communications Committee would meet this
month to select photographs for use on the website.
Parks Committee
Linda Gilbert had nothing to report. Gerry Jackson will provide forms
to Linda so that she may assign responsibility for specific GTIA parks
to individual board members, prior to the July board meeting. Gerry
has been notified of poor grass cutting procedures in the New Albany
area, and suggested these complaints should be registered with the
Park District. Also, any complaints about garbage cans being removed
from Park District areas should be reported to the Park District.
Peter commented that portable potties at all ball fields would be very
much appreciated by the children and parents alike.
Old
Business/New Business
Discussion was initiated about a common area in Tall Oaks that has
been planted with flowers and bushes by the adjacent resident. The
Board requested Management issue a letter of notice to the resident
requesting removal of the plantings prior to the next Board meeting,
or the GTIA will have the plantings removed and invoice the resident
for all work performed.
Management displayed the new digital camera for all to see.
There was general discussion regarding the possible resignation of a
Board member who will be moving and possible volunteers to fill the
vacancy. Peter will contact this member and report to the Board.
