The President, Ronnie Herrington was absent. Vice President, Bill Aimone called the meeting to order at 10:10 a.m. September 16, 2000. A quorum was not established.
Bill stressed the fact that the board only meets 6 times a year. Board members should make every effort to attend the meetings, as many decisions must be made regarding the dredging and other business to improve our subdivision.
Treasurer's Report - We have $130,000 but we have only $3,600 in the checking account, the rest of the money is in C.D.s.
Secretaries Report - Eleanor Busby
Patsy Erdman has ordered a new rope for the flagpole. This one
has steel cable covered with plastic. It is a little more expensive,
but should last longer. Bill stated that there seems to be miscommunication
as to who will pick up mail. Patsy Erdman has picked up the mail
previously and has agreed to pick the mail up and mail to appropriate members
- bills to Sharron. Members present approved Patsy picking up the
mail. Eleanor will contact absent members for their approval.
Old Business
Dredging -
Stan Krupa has sent report on progress of dredging
(enclosed).
Bill stated that on September 5, 2000 the Corp of Engineers sent letters
to various board members and committee for any negative responses for our
request. They had 15 days in which to voice objections. We
should be receiving our permit on September 20, 2000. The City and
County have approved our dune project. Bill talked to Jerry Boyen
of the West End Association president. He had talked to the GLO and
there is a possibility that they would pay 75% of the dune restoration
and maybe dredging. This is merely a possibility. Stan is in
contact with a second dredging company but until we get a permit, we can't
make a firm contract. We should be able to dredge in December or
January. Don Depew suggested that we should contact some smaller
dredging companies here in Galveston. Because new boards have wanted
other avenues, the dredging has been delayed over the past tow years.
The board felt that since Stan has been involved in the dredging operation
for the past two years, he should continue to negotiate. Don will
explore other ideas and will contact Stan. Section One homeowners
have to approve the dune project and they have not authorized the project.
Everyone in Section 5 has authorized the project except one homeowner.
The Court of Appeals ruled in our favor in the Terramar vs. Rutherford. The deed restrictions were upheld and Terramar was awarded the attorney fees.
Barbara Bowe made business cards, letterhead, and labels for the association.
Deed Restrictions
There are violations of deed restrictions. Each section director
should thoroughly check the deed restrictions for their section and present
the violations at the next board meeting. Some members feel that
if we have our attorney file on violations other homeowners will comply
with deed requirements. Many new homes are being built and everyone
should comply with deed restrictions or our attorney will file.
The deed restrictions expire this year with an automatic extension of 10 years. Discussion was held on making all sections have the same deed restrictions. This will require that 75% of Terramar property owners approve. All sections would have the same deed restriction. Don Depew will compile tentative combined deed restrictions. Bob Bowe stated that some property was purchased that require smaller homes than other sections and that a change in the deed restrictions might be unacceptable.
Bill will contact Ken Erickson, owner of 16 acres, and invite him to the next board meeting to inform us of his plans for the property.
Ima Lee will contact the telephone company for installation of 911 phones. Required for pool certification. Tom Baird and Ron requested money to beautify the front entrance. The board approves $500 for this purpose.
The pool will require some work to meet swimming pool inspection requirements. The pool has been closed for the year. A concrete ramp will be build to the swimming pool.
Meeting adjourned at 10:55
Next meeting will be Saturday, Nov. 11, 2000 at Eleanor's house - 22914 Lunes.
