A motion was made by Director Delmastro and seconded by Director Dietert to accept this decision. The motion carried unanimously.

Treasurer Burt provided the Board with an updated Statement of Accounts for the period 7-1-11 through 6-30-12 (current bank balances, expenses, etc.) Treasurer Burt also presented a Budget for the period 7-1-12 through 6-30-13. The budget included $597 for the new website. Director Delmastro requested that an extra $200 be added to the new website costs.

It was also noted that no funds were received this past year from the Blue Haven Foundation for beautification. A motion was made by Director Malcom & seconded by Director Rosch to accept the Treasurer’s report. The motion carried unanimously.
5. The next order of business was Park/Landscaping Report (Pauline & Eldon Tarver).
Eldon stated that there was nothing really to report other than a recent lock-up of the restroom in the pool area due to a stoppage; however Daniel Silva took care of the problem for them. It was noted that the key to the restroom is not the same as the ones to the gates, however if there is a problem in the area, then the Tarvers or another individual who has a key are to be notified. Eldon also requested a work party when the weather cools down.
The restroom in the barn also needs some repairs and Director Silva stated that she would ask her husband to check it out and give his recommendations.
6. The next order of business was the Road Commissioner Report. (No report).
7. The next order of business was the Architecture Chairman Report (Peter Rosch).
Peter informed the Board that the SRP’s are laying flagstones over their driveway and it should be finished soon. Peter also stated that the only request he had in regards to a permit was from the Campbells on Lagoon Loop who are going to enclose their carport and so some remodeling to the house, however no permit was required for this.
Peter then stated that in regards to the controversy between the SRP’s and Linda Cowden, he feels that it is in the best interest of the POA to stay out of the controversy and let their attorneys settle the issue. Peter did state that Cowden’s attorney has requested architectural plans, etc. Peter stated that he has not been able to contact the previous chairman but feels that the plans were from the 1970’s when the home was originally built and would most likely not help with the current situation. It was also noted that prior to Cowden’s “as is” purchase and any remodeling done by the SRPs, water stains were visible in the garage area. The Board agreed that no further action would be taken on the POA’s part at this time.
8. The next order of business was the Boat Lockup Commissioner Report (Jerry Pruett)
Jerry reported that he had gotten three estimates for taking down the dead tree in the lockup area and presented them to the Board. All were bonded & carry insurance. After review the Board decided to accept the bid from Riggs in the amount of $1150. They will cut down the tree, haul off all the debris & clean out the vines. They will also move out the boats & trailers prior to cutting down the tree and then put them back upon completion. A motion was made by Director Hutchins & seconded by Director Silva to accept the estimate from Riggs, the motion carried unanimously.

c. Discuss/approve replacing keys for park facilities:
There was a lengthy discussion regarding this matter. At the present time thecost to replace a lost key is $10. The Board agreed this should be raised to $25 for the first “lost” key and $200 for any additional “lost” keys. It’s the responsibility of the homeowners who rent their homes to get their keys returned. After a lengthy discussion it was also decided that billing next year for lot owner keys would be raised to $70, which means they will be paying the same amount as homeowners which covers amenities used and insurance coverage. A discussion followed in regards to changing the lock on the bathroom door at the pool to be the same as the one that opens the gate and also adding a dead bolt inside & outside the bathroom to be opened by the old key in case of repairs, A motion was made by Director Delmastro and seconded by Director Dietert approving these items. The motion carried unanimously. Director Dietert also stated that the pool rules need to be enforced: mainly “homeowner must be with guests”.
d. Discuss/approve printing updated directories w/Blue Lake.
Secretary Armagost showed the list of changes in addresses, emails & phone numbers since the directory was last printed in 2010. A motion was made by Director Rosch & seconded by Director Malcom approving the printing of the directories, the motion carried unanimously.
e. “Correction to “assessment of Dearhaven properties”. (Diane Dietert)
