BHHOA HOMEOWNERS MEETING
December 6, 2009
President, Ed Vea, called the meeting to order at 10:30 a.m.
Eleven homeowners were in attendance so there was no quorum and no business could be voted on. Since no business can be conducted, what follows are discussion items.
Treasurer’s Report
Kathy handed out a Treasurer’s Report. The current balance as of December 6, 2009 is $1,802.01.
The Lake Harmony Fire Chief spoke to us about the upcoming statewide Firemen’s Convention to be held September 24, 2011. He is looking for volunteers to help that weekend. The staging for the parade will be at Big Boulder Ski Area. The parade route will start at the Fire House and end at the Galleria. He will e-mail Ed details when available. These will be posted on our blog site.
Property Management Report (Joe Oliver)
Leaf pick up has been completed. The Grounds Committee recommended not removing all of the leaves. Leaves around the houses will be blown into the woods or removed and put in the overflow area.
Joe and four of his men are doing snow removal today. One man will always be on call to start snow removal. They will start plowing at 1-1/2 to 2 inches. Ed told Joe that he needs to do around to the side doors of the end units. On weekends you need to be here early. Stairways from the parking lot to units have to be done, salt or gravel needs to be put on the pathways. Joe offered to shovel the second floor decks at the cost of $35 per unit per snow event. This is usually done after six inches has accumulated. If you want this service contact Joe Oliver at 570-401-5027.
Trash is going smoothly.
Joe will deliver firewood in his truck today. This year the firewood has been aged four years.
Trouble Tickets – There is a light out on Rough Grouse Court. Ed asked Joe get a bid for the damaged trees on Fawn Court. The chimney cap came off of Unit 85 and needs to be replaced. The furniture and grills left on the grounds behind unit 15 and unit 2 need to be put pack on the porches.
If any touch ups from the painting project need to be done next spring, contact Joe directly. We hope to do the next staining project in four to five years. At that time we will not have to do the heavy power washing.
The Grounds Committee put together a list of items to be done in the spring. This includes new plantings, mulching, pick up whatever leaves are leftover from fall, and new stones for the pathways. The Grounds Committee will look into the rain drop erosion at the front of the units.
President’s Report.
1. Ed reviewed Attorney Jim Nanovic’s letter regarding the proposed By-Law changes. Nanovic recommended not pursuing these issues.
2. It was suggested that Ed post on our blog site the guidelines to Board decision making.
By-Law Committee (David Stein)
Dave wants to make sure we are in compliance with the Trust document before we move forward with any By-Law changes. He is checking our insurance policy.
Callie Price suggested two By-Law changes. The first would change the number of meetings per year of four to three, eliminating the December meeting. The second would change the time of the Board of Directors meetings.
Open Forum
The Audit Committee will meet in spring. Kathi will get a year-end reconciliation from the bank.
Bob Greco wants to know if anyone has upgraded to hi-def. He can’t get digital TV. He would like to know what other homeowners have done.
There was a discussion about Joe Oliver’s performance as Property Manager. The consensus was that he is not thoroughly doing the job. If the snow removal is not done properly, we will hire someone else and remove those fees from the contract.
In spring we will bid the Property Management services. The scope of work will be more detailed.
The next meeting will be in March.

Ed will send sign-up sheets around for the following committees: Bylaws, Grounds, Nominating, Audit, and Lake Club. All committees will be appointed by the Board.
Financial Report
Monies spent out of the Miscellaneous Expenses were higher this year due to change to dumpsters, some minor electrical repairs, and a water line break.
We are still in negations with Appletree Management concerning security. Appletree wants a 3% increase over last year, we hope for a 0% increase.
Corky Johnson made a motion to accept the Financial Report as printed, Ted Kling seconded, motion passed.
It was noted that there are no monies available for ground improvements. This needs to be addressed in next year’s budget.

When Joe receives a call from a homeowner, he fills out a “trouble” sheet. He will either resolve the problem himself or hire a contractor to do so. If there is a major problem, Joe will notify the Board.
BHHOA will purchase the shed that is located on the overflow lot from Appletree Management.
Joe will need to purchase salt for this winter ASAP.
Flood lights on the houses will be replaced by Oliver Management Company at a slight fee to the homeowner.
The Spring Cleanup Event went very well. We were able to get rid of a lot of the leaves. We plan to have a Fall Cleanup the week before Thanksgiving.
The staining project has been going slower than expected due to the weather conditions.
New Business
1. Jim Kelly will talk to Peak Resort about having the Fall Fest at the ski slope this year. If that doesn’t work out we might be able to have it at Boulder View restaurant.
2. Ted Kling made a motion to have Jim Nanovic include in the Bylaws that the Board acts as the Trustee with the limitation of not being able to spend over $10,000. Any amount over $10,000 would have to be approved by the homeowners. Rich Bevilacqua seconded the motion. The motion passed.

Letter from Oliver Management to Homeowners
Dear Home Owners,
On behalf of Oliver Management. I would like to take this opportunity to say hello to everyone and to introduce ourselves to Blue Heron home owners and guest.
Many home owners may be familiar with Joe Oliver from Oliver painting who has been contracted by BH and has been painting the homes for the past year. As well as Joe’s painting experience he has also had experience in landscaping and has become familiar with the needs BH has with grounds keeping. When Joe first became aware that BH was looking for a new property management company he became very interested in this opportunity. He then contacted me, Peter McCaffrey an old time friend of Joe’s with twenty-eight years of landscape experience to come work for him and manage the property. My landscape experience includes; designing, planting, pruning, brick patio’s and walkways, stone, block and tie walls, chain link, wood, vinyl and aluminum fences, Ground keeping and maintenance. I also have experience in carpentry and remodeling. When I first looked at BH I became aware of many maintenance issues that need to be addressed. The opportunity to take on this challenge I welcome with open arms. My only wish is that I could have started back in November when leaf removal would have been priority instead of January when snow removal is priority. I will assure everyone that as soon as winters blanket is gone and spring has sprung I will be concentrating on leaves being removed, the twigs and branches being off the walkways and overall keeping a clean but woody environment. But for now I can just concentrate on keeping the roads clean and the pathways and doorways open from snow.
Just look for me in my bright yellow Dodge Dakota pickup.
Sincerely,
Peter McCaffrey
Oliver Management

He then contacted me, Peter McCaffrey an old time friend of Joe’s with twenty-eight years of landscape experience to come work for him and manage the property. My landscape experience includes; designing, planting, pruning, brick patio’s and walkways, stone, block and tie walls, chain link, wood, vinyl and aluminum fences, Ground keeping and maintenance. I also have experience in carpentry and remodeling. When I first looked at BH I became aware of many maintenance issues that need to be addressed. The opportunity to take on this challenge I welcome with open arms. My only wish is that I could have started back in November when leaf removal would have been priority instead of January when snow removal is priority. I will assure everyone that as soon as winters blanket is gone and spring has sprung I will be concentrating on leaves being removed, the twigs and branches being off the walkways and overall keeping a clean but woody environment. But for now I can just concentrate on keeping the roads clean and the pathways and doorways open from snow.
Just look for me in my bright yellow Dodge Dakota pickup.
Sincerely,
Peter McCaffrey
