Board of Directors Monthly Meeting

May 9, 2008

 

 

 

The HBPOA monthly meeting was called to order by President Bill Schmidt at 6:01 p.m. with 11 members present.

 

Roll Call

Present: Bill Schmidt, Julia Finegan, Rose Arp, Walt Parker, Charles Finegan, Sharon Walker, Walt Magness, Randy Phipps, Tom Aldridge, Billy Burke and Ann Bagley.

 

Parliamentarian Walt Parker established after roll call that a quorum was present and the meeting had been properly called.

 

Secretary Julia Finegan read the minutes of the previous meeting.  Billy Burke motioned to accept the minutes as corrected.  Rose Arp seconded the motion - motion carried.

 

Rose Arp read the financial report. Billy Burke motioned to accept the financial report as read. Randy Phipps seconded the motion - motion carried. Bill Schmidt acknowledged his appreciation to Rose for all her work on the Financial Statement and the Budget Report.

 

The Budget Committee met before the meeting and Bill gave a report from the committee. There was a correction and a few explanations on the Budget print out.  In January there was an entry under General Liability of $1,096.00 which is actually Payroll Taxes for that same amount.  The Office Expense for April was high because we mailed out the newsletter that month instead of January and we had to pay for our Bulk Mail Permit which was $175.00. Walt Parker motioned to accept the Budget Committee Report.  Randy Phipps seconded the motion  - motion carried.

 

Board Members and Area Representative Reports:

Billy reports not much going on.  Bill tells Billy there is still some questions on a particular building.

 

Area V-Representative and Head of Pool Maintenance Bob Dabney has sold his house and moved to San Antonio and therefore resigned.  A replacement in Area V is preferred and also would like to have them attend the pool maintenance.

b. Two hundred and six AMA Amnesty letters were mailed on May 5, 2008 and are valid for 45 days.  We have already received one letter willing to pay $240.00 out of $447.00.  This will at least cover our postage. 

 

c. Pier Repair
