Buildings & Grounds: Tom Becker reported on the following:

·         Pools – Our pools have issues – Challenger has the most of them. Fiberglass coating is coming apart, 7 or ore spots that keep growing. Not sure if Marianne has contacted anyone. Tom has 2 quotes = resurfacing - $39,000 and $60,000. We can patch but it will just keep getting worse. Needs attention asap.

·         Umbrellas – remember to close them before you leave the pool area, even if you did not open them. We have had a few blow away on the windy days. Secure with cords. Pool committee is working on getting new ones.

·         Unlocking of pools – Pool committee wants to leave them unlocked going forward. Suggestion is to keep them unlocked from May 1st to September to see if anyone abuses this. Shirley reminded Tom that if anyone would come in after dark, insurance would not cover this. Ignore motion.

·         Thermostats – we have had people come in after events and the thermostats were not turned to where they belong. Just a reminder to be very conscientious in setting them where they belong. Air conditioning units used to be serviced by Watts, going forward we will be using VROOM.

·         Compound/Dumpster – Oscar will be putting a concrete slab for $1,800.00 Tony Mahoney motioned, Jim Glynn seconded and all were in agreement. Passed.

·         Palm Trees – There are some palm trees that need to be taken down around Challenger Clubhouse due to blocking of rain gutters and down spouts. Don’t need to take any of them besides 2 at the front entrance of clubhouse and 2 in the driveway that is blocking the night light. Oscar gave a quote for $1,500 for 7 trees so will need to check with him to see how much it would be for only 4. Volunteer crew possibly cut down the trees in front of the clubhouse, or Butch could be asked. Will table this until next month’s meeting.

·         Gator – purchased another gator, got rid of Jacobsen. Now have 2 gators.

·         Roof – Challenger has leaks and looked at a number of issues to take care of. Trying to find the best solution for the community. Inspector gave us 2 options – new roof or resurfacing. We received a bid from Thayer Roofing for $49,800 to resurface the roof with a 20-year warranty and workmanship is also covered. We also got a bid from Imperial Roofing back in November (they were the only company to give a bid) of $115,000 to replace. A discussion went around the room with people having their say as to how they feel about resurfacing as opposed to a new roof.

 

Tom made a motion to approve the bid from Troyer Roofing to resurface the roof. Jim Glynn seconded and there were no all ayes. Karen then asked each Board member what they voted:

Vinny – Yes

Ken – Abstain

Shirley – No

Tony – Yes

Tom – Abstain

Jim – Yes

Karen only votes if there is a tie

Subsequently, we had 3 yes votes, 1 no vote and 2 abstain. Therefore, the vote is passed on coating of the Challenger Clubhouse roof.

·         A few things that didn’t get voted on at the last buildings and grounds meeting was gates for the compound (people borrow and never return) and stones.

 

Karen Grant made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:45pm, Tony Mahoney seconded the motion and all were in favor.

 

Meeting Adjourned.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

 

 

Robin Husted, Recording Secretary
