Notes from Board Meeting of

January 20, 2006

Meeting with Executive Electric and Dennis Ouellette to address issues with Exec Electric about gates, street lights and snow removal.

 Meeting was called to order at 2:50 pm. By President Bill Nosal.

All Board members were present.

 Main gate:  Lighting is poor.  The lighting is poor because of the way the lights were set in the ground.  Moisture affects them.  Dennis is changing lighting to above ground “up-lighting”.

  Smithfield gate:  Breakers keep shutting off.

Per Eddie, owner of Exec. Elect.  There is an ‘on”, “off” and “trip” indicator.  EE says the breaker has been turned “off”.  Someone is turning them OFF.  He maintains there is nothing wrong with the lights or the breaker.

  Gladstone Gate:  Gates OK and street light is sufficient.

 Legend Gate – Not complete until spring.

 Main gates will be down during the day beginning 2/1/06. After final homes have closed.

 No plans to replace gate on Smithfield .

 Why has it taken so long to get the gate working????

             Gates have been replaced  many, many times.  People keep running into the gates.  EE says he was not notified that right gate was not working.  Sylva produced a work order from last week to Eddie.

 New product to work with Syntex box.  EE not familiar.  Did not know heater was required.

 TWO YEAR WARRANTY ON ALL WORK BY EXECUTIVE ELECTRIC  – BEGINS JANUARY 20, 2006

EE wants a single representative from FR to contact EE when there is a problem.  Each gate will be numbered.  There are 12 gates.  Numbering will begin with the gates at Gladstone and move down to Legend.

 All complaints should go through Sylva at Koger so that she can keep a log of incidents.

 EE complained that Koger is not responsive.  Tried to contract Sylva for the last 3 weeks.  They’ve had a very hard time trying to get a hold of Sylva.

 Sylva disputes their claim.  If Sylva not available, ask for Dana at Koger.

 Week End Calls:  Have one representative making the calls to EE direct.  John is the responder for EE they have 24/7 answering system that directs calls to person on call.

 Executive Electric phone:  540-891-8880

 Service calls NOT under warranty will be charged.

 Weekend  rate - $75/hr.

Holidays – Double hourly rate.

 EE stated that by February 1, 2006 all street lights will be repaired and working.

 There will be locks placed on breaker boxes.  EE will put the locks on.  Concierge to keep the keys.

 Camera at gate has had problems – not working.

Power outage – spikes – causes camera to go out.  Camera is working at this date, but will need to replace with larger camera soon.  Need new, better camera.

 Suggestion:  Put a fake camera to deter people hitting gates.

 Suggestion:  Program time delay on gates.

 EE will provide legend of points of light between poles – service boxes and junction box.

 Need service box for Center interior.  

Street lights warranty will not cover bulbs.

 Ballasts and capacitors will be installed and complete with in the week.

 Any lights that are skewed – pole not straight – will be fixed under warranty.

 There should be street lights at each INTERSECTION but not necessarily at the end of streets.

 SNOW REMOVAL

 Original billing from EE for snow removal for early December snow did not include extra work done in single family area.

 MOTION

 Mal moved to pay balance of Executive Electrics snow removal, - final 25 percent billed for work in single family area – immediately.

 Nancy 2nd the motion. 

 The motion was carried unanimously.

 EE was advised how to bill for streets – Single vs. Villas.

    WATER FALLS

 Brickman – current landscape maint. company built the fall and they maintain the pumps.

 EE maintains the electrical for the fall.

 Board needs to make new determination for maint for the falls.  EE will provide us with a proposal. They are able to maintain both electrical and pump system.  Eddie, of EE, said he is also a plumber.

 Executive Electric would like another meeting with the Board to explain the Legend he will present.

 OTHER

 Board discovered new common ground area.  The area where Del Webb advertising signs, the Dancers and the Fisherman are common ground and have been maintained by Del Webb.  The advertising signs were scheduled to be removed January 20, 2006.

 A suggestion was make to have regular weekly “work session” meetings each Wednesday at 2:00.  A regular weekly meeting can be noticed to the community for their information and the Board members will be able to arrange their schedules more easily.  All Board members were in favor.

 It was agreed there will be a meeting on Monday, January 23, 2006 to prepare for monthly Board Meeting on Wednesday January 25, 2006 at 7:00.

 Koger’s contract:  Dana will provide contract for 6 mos and 12 months.

 Bill asked if Villas will have separate contract with Koger. 

Concern was expressed about time Sylva spends on Villa NOT being included in billing to Community Association.

 There was a discussion re how to allocate her time.

 Villas do NOT have separate Modification Committee.  All requests come to Community Association Modifications Committee.

 Center has never had a fire inspection.

 Info is needed on HVAC contractors.

 Monthly invoice for assessments should include late fees.

 Property and Grounds will devise a plan and communicate with Koger and Koger will be the main contact to EE.

 Meeting was adjourned at 4:30 pm.
