Treasure’s
Report: |
Ruth
Jenkins gave an overview of the year end financial status of the Association. Dues, late fees, and interest make up all
income to the association. Three
categories make up our operational expenses.
They are administrative expenses, general expenses, and general
maintenance. General expenses consist
of grounds, insurance, snow removal, electricity, irrigation, and pest
control. General maintenance is
described as maintaining buildings, chimneys, fences, and contingency. At our year end dated September 30, 2004,
operational income came in at $73,850
with operational expenses coming in at $69,755. Our reserve income was at $49,063 with reserve expenses at
$47,606. The asphalt parking work
was deferred until 2004/2005 budget year.
Ruth was happy to say that the association is solvent. A copy of the Year End Financials dated
September 30, 2004 are noted as Addendum “A” to these minutes. Ray Cook made a motion to accept the
Treasure’s Report as presented. Jean

Association
Report: |
Deanna
Knox, of Elite Management Services presented to the owners a written report
of all the activity that took place this year. Please see Addendum “B” as part of these minutes. For those owners who do not use an agent
for rental or maintenance, please either let her know where to obtain keys to
your unit or make and send her a key to be held on file for future and
emergency use. She would like to
remind all owners that winter is rapidly approaching, so now is the time to
have your furnaces checked, winterize pipes, clean and place heat tapes at scuppers,
and also turn the temperature up to at least 60 degrees if your unit is left
vacant. All of these winterizing
actions help to prevent unfortunate losses and helps our insurance rates to
remain stable. If you or your agent
is not able to perform these preventative actions, please let Deanna know and
she will help schedule the work and will charge the owner at her cost. |

Hot-Tub
Report: |
Ed
Vignoul gave an overview of the Hot-Tub issue and the steps that were
involved in the settlement of this case.
It’s taken 2 ˝ years to come to a final resolution to this
matter. The main objective of the
Board was to assure the adjoining owners that they will be able to enjoy their
unit without having to listen to the noise of the hot-tub and endure the constant
vibration that it caused. Ed
explained the settlement to the owners present. The owners commended the Board for resolving this issue and for
putting a lease in place to protect the common element and to eliminate
future problems pertaining to the hot-tub.
As a follow-up to this settlement, the Board has asked the attorney to
prepare a lease for all owners encroaching common property with heat pumps,
air conditioners, and storage units. |

Capital Projects: |
Ruth
Jenkins presented the owners with a slide presentation explaining capital
replacements and future projects to take place. A copy of The Reserve Study is enclosed as Addendum “C” |
|
2004/2005 Budget: |
As
an addition to the Capital Projects report, Ruth Jenkins presented to the
membership the proposed budget for 2004/2005. A copy of the proposed budget is represented in these minutes
as Addendum “D”. After a question
and answer period pertaining to the 2004/2005 Budget, it was opinion that
Association Dues be increased to maintain sufficient monies to fund future
improvements to the property. It was
agreed that the dues will go from $640 per quarter to $650 per quarter
beginning October 1, 2004. Gary
Lorenz made a motion to accept the 2004/2005 Capital Project Report and the
2004/2005 Operational Budget as presented.
Jean Cleaves seconded. Motion
carried. A special thank you goes to
Ruth Jenkins from the ownership and the Board for her dedication and
diligence in making sure proper funding is in place for our future
improvements. We have all seen a
positive change to the appearance of our buildings and a tremendous increase
in our property value because of these improvements. She has given many hours of her time to
secure the future of Wildflower II Association. Thank you, again, Ruth!! |

Open Forum: |
With
our new walkways that were just overlayed this last week, Ray Cook commented
that we need to think about sealing them to prevent freeze/thaw damage. Deanna has been directed to speak with
Dick McMillan and determine the cure time necessary before sealing. During
last years annual meeting, Ray Cook mentioned the insurance policy of the
Association and coverage for windows.
Rod Englert had asked Deanna to contact the insurance agent to get
further information regarding deductible for window replacement, and also get
better clarification of our documents regarding who is responsible for
replacement of windows and doors.
Deanna did contact our insurance agent and the deductible for all
damaged or destroyed buildings, windows and doors inclusive, is $2,500. An opinion letter from our attorney
regarding this issue is attached to these minutes as Addendum “E”. With the many trees that have been removed these past years it was the opinion of the owners that a landscape committee be put in place to beautify and fill in areas on the property. This includes entry areas to the units. The volunteer committee consists of Ray Cook, Duane Bergevin, and Penny Englert. They will be walking the property and giving a report as to areas that should be addressed. They will also obtain a list of plants and trees that are indigenous to our Central Oregon climate. The
concensus of the owners present was that the property has never looked better
and they are excited about the future of Wildflower II. |
