Special Board Meeting Report

July 13, 2007

The only public agenda item at Wednesday’s Board meeting was the status of the West Pool. The pool maintenance company has informed the HOA that one of its two pumps (needed to filter the water) has failed and needs to be replaced. They actually recommended to replace both pumps at once with more efficient models (1hp vs the current 2hp ones). The cost for this work will be a bit less than $1,600.

At the meeting, director Marius Ardeleanu pointed out that another pool maintenance company had sent him a somewhat lower bid for the same work, so it would make sense to shop around. However, the discussion was cut short by director Sam Goldberg, who motioned to approve the bid from the current pool maintenance company. President Marilyn Dupree and director Cathy McVey supported his motion. The Board then went into executive session to discuss the issues involving potential lawsuits.

Given the Association’s current financial problems, one wonders why the majority of the Board is not interested in saving money.
