Minutes
of the Prior Meeting
Minutes of the June meeting were reviewed.

motion was passed by a unanimous voice vote.
Treasurer's
Report
Don Helgeson
reviewed the June Balance Sheet and Income and Expense Statement. The
CD maturing on 7/19/10 at Bridgeview Bank will be rolled over into the
GTIA operating account. It was noted that four partial payments and
one payment in full were received on 2010 past due accounts.
Board Motion: Marg Hough motioned to accept the revised check
register expenditures of $50,232.80 for July, Don Helgeson seconded.
Motion was passed by unanimous voice vote.
Management Report
Telephone log
line items were reviewed.
Management stated
that all of the asphalt trail work has stopped because of the
laborers’ strike. Machinists who pulverize black dirt are honoring
the strike workers, so restoration is also on hold until the strike is
resolved.
A solution to the
drainage problem along the trail behind GR1038 is still pending.
Board members
discussed the planting application from GTIA residents at SR1004. By
a vote of 6 to 4, the application as submitted was not approved.
Management will send an explanatory letter to the residents.
Management was
informed of a home, WGL220, purchased at a foreclosure sale, with GTIA
liens that had not been removed. GTIA was never notified of this
transaction; however, Management will release these two liens. The
original amount billed is now uncollectible. The new owner will pay
assessment costs from date of closing to the end of the year. Total
amount billed was $730: $270 for 2008, $270 for 2009, $170 for 2010,
plus $20 administrative fee. Minus the amount to be paid by the new
owner $89.77, the total amount to be written off is $640.23.
Board Motion: Marg Hough motioned to approve the write off amount for
WGL220 in the amount of $640.23, Michael Olson seconded. Motion was
passed by unanimous voice vote.
Management provided
a list of June 2010 newcomers. Board Directors are encouraged to call
on newcomers in their respective areas.
Finance Committee
Don Helgeson
noted that the Finance and Maintenance Committee members met July 5th
and will present a proposed 2011 budget at the August Board meeting.
Maintenance Committee
Les Lavin
requested that Management obtain quotes for staining the Gazebo cupola
and to replace the Gazebo roof with fiberglass shake-like material.
Communications Committee
No report.
Parks
Committee
Marisa DeAngelis
gave a synopsis of the June Park District Board meeting. Pat
Coughlin-Schillo distributed Parks Evaluation Forms to be completed by
Board members and submitted to both Management and Pat prior to the
next Board meeting.
Nominating Committee
No report.
Old Business - New Business
The Lisle Park
District submitted a revised proposed lease Agreement incorporating
changes as suggested by the GTIA Board last month. Subsequently,
Management requested GTIA attorney, Peter Jagel to review the
agreement to get his opinions. Mr. Jagel suggested two minor changes
in wording. Those changes were related to the Park District and they
are agreeable with them. A revised agreement is expected to be
submitted to GTIA for signature once the Park District has formally
accepted the revisions.
Board
Motion:
Don Helgeson motioned to approve the proposed lease agreement with the
Lisle Park District, as amended, Julie LaFond seconded. Motion was
passed by a majority voice vote.
Board Member Area Reports
Area I, Roger Sassen
noted that no one from his area has ever contacted him and asked if
this was normal. Consensus was that no one calls unless there is a
problem, so apparently there are no problems in his area and therefore
no reason for anyone to call him.
Adjournment
Board Motion:
There being no
further business, Julie LaFond motioned to adjourn the meeting, Marge
Hough seconded. The motion was passed by unanimous voice vote; the
meeting was adjourned at 9:15 p.m.
Respectfully
Submitted,
