- Reports
Treasurer: Sean Looman provided reports for both the Operating and Legal Accounts that spanned the period July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2021. Both accounts were in balance. Sean reported that although we are still collecting current year (2021-22) dues, four homeowners have yet to pay their 2020/21 dues and 1 homeowner their 2019/20 and 2020/21. After the first of the year, notices will again be sent to those homeowners who have yet to pay their current year dues as well as those in arears for previous years who will also be noticed that liens on their properties are pending and will be processed if payment is not received or other arrangements made. Jill Garnett moved approval of the Treasurer’s report and Joe Tonnos seconded. The report was unanimously approved.
LINC: Cindy Carson reported no new updates as LINC meetings have been cancelled during Covid.
Membership: As a review, Katie reported that she and Jon were proposing a neighborhood engagement event, The Three Days of Fall. The event would be held on 3 Sundays, October 24 (Sidewalk Chalk), October 31 (Halloween Decorating), and November 14 (Donuts & Cider in Mohican Park). Additionally, Katie reviewed this with the membership at the September 20th Annual Meeting, receiving positive reception. Given the positive reception from homeowners, the Board reaffirmed its unanimous support to sponsor the event. Katie, Jon, and Joe P will work together to distribute notices to ILE homeowners including the Nextdoor networking service and placing Easel at ILE entrance. On November 5, 2021, the Board will hold a brief call to plan details for the Donuts and Cider event.
Maintenance: Joe P reported that the two trees were removed at the entrance to ILE. Joe also mentioned that another tree may need to be removed next year. Further, damage was done to our lawn irrigation system by the utilities contractor working on cabling on Mt. Hope Rd. Joe has contacted the Township and they will make sure that it is repaired, if not yet this year next spring.
