Hello Members, over the last two general meetings, January and February, we discussed the Wall project. We started with two options: Leave the footprint the same but demolish and build a new wall matching the lower one next to the driveway built by Himmel's, or push the longer face back a few feet for added room in the turning circle. The first option was voted on and approved by membership and seemed the most reasonable for time and costs and again Himmel's was the contractor whose quote seemed the best fit.

However at the February meeting the board listened to many of the voices basically expressing concern over the vote not also including how to fund the project. The boards position was to follow the last process for the short wall, which would mean borrowing from the reserve fund and paying that back through a special assessment over a four year period of $85/year per senior member. We decided to 1. accept that the wall project is approved, but for the moment take pause and have a discussion on funding. 2. The board will take $1500 out of the reserve fund now to pay the deposit so that Himmel's can start the permitting process and engineering plans.

So this discussion page was a suggestion made from the floor and meant to give voice to those not in attendance in the meeting, and for everyone actually to give some thoughts on payment plan ideas.

The winning proposal will also be found here. The discussion will be just for a few weeks and we hope to have the vote, this time for funding, at a later date by proxy prior to general meeting in March.

Thank you

Sincerely

Calvin Payne
