Meeting Minutes


HAMMOCK B EACH HOMEOWNER’S ASSOCIATION

SPECIAL MEETING

FEBRUARY 2, 2010

5:00PM @ THE HOME OF SARA AND HAROLD CLARKE

 

Members in attendance: Susan & Gary Fairley, Karen & Mike Joyce, Charles Weiss, Dave Miller, Bob Rohr, Frank Carelli, & Harold Clarke.

 

Board Members present, President Bob Hamby, Vice President Sara Clarke, Treasurer Steve Robinson, Operations Peter Healey, and Secretary Larry Amuso.

 

The President called the meeting to order at 5:00PM and asked for a proof of notice. The Secretary advised that the meeting notification was placed on the bulletin board at the pool, and listed on the Web page and sent by e-mail to all e-mail recipients.  Upon acceptance the President announced the purpose of the meeting, i.e., to discuss the pool installation at 23 Ocean Dune Circle and added that the meeting will be limited to that subject. The Board is to address paying the submitted attached invoice presented by Amenity Pools.

            The President explained the situation from its inception, receipt of e-mail from the Deforest inquiring about the necessities for installing a pool and fence. He, thereby, brought all in attendance up to date of his knowledge of what has transpired.  He then opened the floor to discussion. Gary Fairly presented his views and sentiments advising that he and his wife were not consulted to the extent that it has been purported to be, stating that they had never discussed the situation with the Deforests.

            Steve Robinson responded and explained his role and work along with Sara Clarke and the Association lawyer Dennis Bayer and that attempts were made to communicate to all involved to bring this situation to an amicable end. There apparently had been some miscommunication. Steve Robinson apologized for any communication or lack thereof that may have slighted anyone.

            The situation was one of much interaction and communications involving active participation, by e-mail, telephone, and direct conversation of the past President, the present President, Sara Clarke, Steve Robinson, Peter Healey, Susan & Gary Fairly, Joe and Laura Deforest, Dennis Bayer, and the Pool Contractor.

            The issues involved were: the fence (position & height) which will obscure the equipment, removal of the pool equipment to the North side of the house or pool equipment remaining where it had been installed but to move it ten feet closer to the house (which was done). The height of the pool equipment was not arguable since FEMA regulations require some of the equipment to be a certain height above ground. The item of planting shrubbery and its location was also mentioned.

            The President presented the invoice for discussion. Steve Robinson moved that the Board consider the invoice. Larry Amuso 2nd.  The invoice consists of a charge of $2,525.00. President Hamby moved to amend to pay $1,300.00. Sara Clarke 2nd.  The amendment passed.

            All correspondence that took place on the issue by e-mail and written testimony is available to read upon request.

            Respectfully submitted

            Laurence Amuso, Secretary
