Personal
board meeting minutes of march 17, 2015. See the Candlewick Newspaper
for official minutes.
This
meeting had a little higher attendance than normal, probably due to
the seating of the new (old) board. Attendance was eleven.
The
Public Forum consisted of questions about the possible set-up and
tear down for the Flames dinners.
Next
came the election of officers. Ken Dillenburg was elected president,
Don Parisi vice president, Chuck Corso secretary, and Jeff Lutzow
treasurer.
Items
were added to the agenda, one was rental limits (Jeff Lutzow will
head the team to bring a plan to the board) Election rules and
procedures will be reviewed and a new set will be presented to the
board at the next meeting for discussion. We want to eliminate as
many of the invalid ballots as possible in future elections. Emmanual
Lutheran Church asked for permission to use the Outpost again for
BibleSchool as they have in years past and the request was granted.
Maintenance
reports the office is now primed and painted, our dam and weir were
inspected, all plow trucks are serviced, the second 500 tons of salt
was received, mixed and in storage for future use, certification for
Illinois pesticide was completed the uppermost air supply duct in the
rec center is painted, six tons of gravel were added to road
shoulders, and normal maintenance activities.
Your
board approved the suggested fishing regulations for Lake Management.
I will post these later this week.
The
Recreation Commission will be touring the parks to assess the
equipment and make suggestions regarding removal, replacement, or
repair needed.
Communications
Commission reports they are still looking for volunteer
photographers.
Your
board passed a resolution to adopt the new rules and regulations. The
effective date will be May first after residents have an opportunity
to know the new rules.
Your
board passed a resolution affirming their practice of having the
Citation Review Commission hearings private as is their right. This
resolution will halt any questions about closing this commission in
the future. A motion was made and passed affirming the decisions of
the same commission excluding citations appealed to the board.
Your
board passed another resolution to have a detailed list of pool rules
posted at the pool and all rules be strictly enforced.
The
Flames requested your association set up the room for their meal
meetings since they are a Candlewick sponsored group. Section 2.39
of Board Policy states association resources are not to be used for
set up and clean up. The request was held over for possible solutions
at our next board meeting.

the process.

As
a side note, I am finding it much more difficult to make notes for
this posting when I am the one conducting the meetings so if I miss a
couple things bear with me!
