Management
Report
Telephone log line items were discussed and reviewed.
Management noted the chain link fence behind HF5016 has been breached
again. The fence contractor has been requested to make the fence more
of a challenge to anyone trying to cut through it. Management also
asked the homeowner to contact the police and management if anyone is
seen trying to cut through the fence.
Management purchased 42 sets of holiday lights at discount for
$118.66, and still needs to purchase some new bows. This is compared
to $346 spent last year for lights and bows. Board members plan to put
up the holiday lights on the Saturday of either November 16 or 23.
The birdhouses adopted by GTIA were all sold at the open auction.
A six-year proposal from Bob Falduto for turf maintenance was
submitted for Board review. The Board will review the terms of the
contract and discuss again at the next Board meeting.

details were suggested.

budget for publication, Marge Hough seconded. The motion was passed by

October 15 in the home of Joan Dudas at 7:00 PM. Suggestion was given
to have biographical sketches written for Board candidates and Board
Directors.
Parks Committee

a synopsis of the Park District Board meeting.
Old
Business/New Business
Discussion was
initiated concerning last month’s open forum issue regarding the
repair of the stockade fence that separates Tyrnbury from High Point.
After review of the Declaration of Covenants and a prior legal opinion
on a past-related matter, the Board came to the conclusion that no
assistance could be provided by GTIA since the area in question is not
common area.
The Board again
discussed the sewer project, which is at a temporary standstill due to
unanticipated drilling problems.
Reports of
vandalism have diminished.
Adjournment
Board Motion: There
being no further business, Joan Dudas moved to adjourn the meeting,
Tom Maslanka seconded. The motion was passed by unanimous voice vote.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p.m.
Respectfully
Submitted,
