Approval of Minutes
a.
The DRAFT Meeting Minutes
from the 19 October 2005 Board meeting were reviewed by the Board members
present.
b.
The board approved the 19
October 2005 minutes as presented and amended.
2.2
Selection of Terms
No action on the selection
of terms was required and no action was taken. All terms remain as shown
below.

2.3
Election of officers
No action on the election
of officer was required and no action was taken.
2.4
Financial Status
The community ended the
year $3,904.62 under budget (on cash vs. accrual basis), not including
payments to support the reserve fund.
2.4.1
Receivables
R. Strawderman noted that
the current receivables balance was $821.74. Of this amount, 1 homeowner at
3712 Valley Oaks Drive owes $318.27. Mr. Strawderman suggested that this
outstanding receivable be referred to legal council to seek collection, as it
represents a substantial amount in arrears for more than 90 days.
In addition to the above
item, there are apparently three (3) homeowners that paid the old monthly
assessment amount as opposed to the new assessment, as established by the
Board at the 19 October 2005 Board of Directors meeting. No action is needed
on these outstanding receivables at this time.
2.4.2
Balance Sheet and Budget
a.
The community has a
Certificate of Deposit (CD) that will mature in April 2006 in the amount of
$22,891.49. The original note amount was $22,500 with $391.89 in accrued
interest.
b.
There was a motion made to
renew the CD in April. In the same motion, it was suggested that the Board
increase the value of the note to $25,000 and to invest this amount for a term
of 18 months.
c.
This motion was unanimously
approved by the Board.
2.4.3
Reserve Funding
a.
The Board currently has
budgeted for $2,900 as a reserve contribution in the annual budget.
b.
The Board estimates that
each year the community will need to allocate approximately $4,000 to fund the
reserve.
c.
This means in the fiscal
year 2006, the reserve contribution, as currently budgeted, is $1,100
under-budgeted.
d.
However, as noted by Mr.
Urban, the reserve fund is currently over-funded at approximately $18,995.
e.
Therefore, the Board is
comfortable at this time to under-budget this year’s reserve fund
contribution, given the current over-funded position of the reserve.
2.5
Contracting
2.5.1
Trash Removal
a.
At the 19 October 2005
Board meeting, the Board requested that Mr. Strawderman solicit at least three
(3) bids for trash removal for the community.
b.
Mr. Strawderman collected
verbal quotes from McLean Trash, KMG, and PDS. Each of these trash removal
services quoted per-home rates of $26 or more.
c.
While Mr. Strawderman was
in the process of soliciting offers, AAA Trash Removal submitted a new
contract to the Board. The old contract was priced at $797 per month to
service the 43 homes in the community, or approximately $18.53 per home per
month. The new contract offered an increasing price for a 3-year period. The
first year would be $834 per month in 2006 ($19.40 per home), escalating to
$880 per month in 2007 ($20.47), and escalating to $903 per month in 2008 ($21
per home).
d.
The Board unanimously
approved the new contract with AAA since (a) it was below the verbal offers
made by competing firms and (b) it was within or below our budgeted amount for
trash removal.
e.
The new contract will go
into effect 1 February 2006.
2.5.2
Other Business
a.
Fence Repair.
As reported in the 19 October 2005 minutes, the fence along
Rugby Road
needed repair. Mr. Strawderman, as requested by the Board, solicited two (2)
bids to perform this repair. Long Fence bid $885 while Carter Brothers bid
$375. The Board unanimously authorized Mr. Strawderman to engage Carter
Brothers to make the repair at the bid amount.
b.
The Board scheduled the
date of 22 March for the annual Fair Oaks Glen Homeowners Meeting. This date
is tentative given the selection of a location for the meeting. Mr.
Strawderman was given an action to identify and secure a location for this
meeting, selecting from, among other possible locations,
Navy
School
or
Chantilly
High School
.
