After the meeting was called to order a discussion regarding old business ensued. Gary noted that he has still been trying to reach Debbie Wilson with CAMA regarding repairing the boat ramp. Several of the members noted that we probably would be better off to get an outside contractor to check the type repairs needed. Mike noted that there was a considerable amount of broken concrete at the end of the ramp that could possibly damage a boat at low tide. Wayne mentioned that he would get in touch with Sammy Varnam and ask that he give Gary or Richard a call and give us a quotation. Another suggestion was to also call Greg Holden and get a price from him also. Curtis mentioned that we could check with whom ever built the ramp at Betty’s Restaurant and possibly get a price from them. Richard noted that these repairs or whatever is deemed necessary needs to be done before spring. It was also noted that the road to the ramp will need to be smoothed out again.
At the previous meeting it was voted to create an association office at the swimming pool and install a window in the existing building. Richard suggested that we should lock the gate that is presently being used and possibly build a small “tiki” type stand inside the pool area so that we could have someone to sit occasionally when checking bands. A motion was made by Dean to accept this idea and it was seconded by Mike. Wayne suggested that we might think about putting some type of shutters or strips across the window to keep any objects tossed in the pool area from breaking the glass. All members agreed that periodic checking of wrist bands and paid dues was a good idea. Everyone should be responsible for getting current bands if you pay your dues. Richard noted that Johnny Belk did a good job this past summer checking at the pool. This was called for a vote and passed.
The problem regarding non-members and members with unpaid dues having keys to the boat ramp was brought up for discussion. All agreed that a list with key numbers should be made available and kept current in order to do spot checking with people using the boat ramp. Curtis suggested it might be a good idea to go back to some type of stickers for the boat trailers. Richard noted that we still need to get the sign put up at the pier for “Quiet Time”. Gary says he will get a price from someone the board has used for signs previously. It was also noted that we need to have a sign stating “no underage drinking – violators will be prosecuted”.
Under new business, the subject of unpaid dues was up for discussion. Richard noted that after researching previous minutes of Association meetings, a vote was taken and passed that all persons owning property in Hurricane Haven must be members of the Association. Pat noted that, as a realtor, she was very familiar with the law that stated that if there is an association in your neighborhood you must be a member and that non-payment of dues would enable the association to place a lien on that member’s property. This would stay in force until dues are paid or the property is sold. Richard asked the board members to vote for sending a letter to those property owners and the placement of liens if they do not comply. Pat stated she would be willing to compose a letter. Pat noted that the board could file the liens with the county and the notices would be sent out via certified mail if needed. Doris agreed that homeowners should consider themselves lucky that no one is being forced to catch up all previous years due. Pat noted that everyone who sells their property should advise the new prospective homeowners of the dues. Richard asked for a motion that we should send out the letters. Mike made the motion and Curtis seconded. A vote was taken and passed.
Mike advised the Board that our current liability insurance does not cover who ever is awarded the grass maintenance contract. He said he would check on the cost of a policy for an individual. Gary mentioned that the bids were not opened yet. Richard suggested getting new bids so that the person submitting bids could add in the cost of getting insurance.
Pat brought up the subject of golf carts and their abuse in the neighborhood. Everyone agreed that it is a problem and that the only person in the development that has a legal cart is Wayne Day.
The next Board meeting was scheduled for March 30th, Sunday @ 1:00 p.m.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:15 a.m.
