January 2014 KHHA Board Minutes

January 13, 2014, 7:00 pm at the Town Offices

 Present: Eric Johnson, Maria Moore, Jake Cady, Martha McClintock, Anne Cummings, Ann Laramee, Jim Nichols

Guests: John Anderson, Bill McClintock, Mike Dandurand

Secretary Report: The secretary report from the last meeting was accepted.
Martha apologizes for forgetting to use “BCC” and therefore showing all email addresses in the emailed minutes and reminders.
Martha has begun the process of creating a website so that members can access minutes and information online. Mike Dandurand has offered to help in the creation of the website. Thanks, Mike.

Road Report: Jake has not obtained quotes for the snow removal for next year yet.
Plowing and sanding for this year is going fine. There were some concerns about a delay in plowing during one storm. Mr. Lukos had expected a greater snowfall and was waiting for more accumulation that did not materialize.
The winter snow removal contract costs $13,500 for snow removal, sanding as needed and pushing back the banks once during the winter. It is paid in three installments.
If there was damage during the ice storm that caused trees to fall in or over a road in front of your property, please remove the trees. If you can not remove the trees, please call a board member for help.

Treasurer Report: Maria received the treasurer information from Donna Goodheart (Past Treasurer) this week.
The balance in the KHHA “regular operating” account at this point is $3935.95.
One homeowner paid delinquent dues this month.. Eric Johnson met privately with another association member to discuss the payment of back dues.
The paperwork has been filled out to transfer the handling of the Wells Fargo “rainy day fund” account to Maria Moore and Ann Laramee so that the board can access that money.
Maria plans to send out invoices for 2014 dues next week. Payment is due by March 1, 2014. Dues that are not paid by April 1, 2014, will be charged interest at the rate of 7.5% per year. Sue Adams provided the board with the names of new KHHA homeowners who moved in within the last year. Thanks, Sue.
The board agreed that we should look into quotes (how much it would cost and what would be required) to do an audit of the association finances. Ann Laramee will ask Susan Lachance for an estimate.
The board approved the purchase of a new laptop and Quick Books accounting software to improve the bookkeeping process. It will not be installed and used until after the invoices for this year are sent out.

Trails Report: Ann worked on the trails to clear felled trees and branches on Sunday. She reported that the trails are in relatively good shape despite the ice storm. Mike Dandurand and Eric Johnson will clear one larger downed tree on the red trail.

Environmental Report: Reminders from the covenants: 
Live trees of greater size that 6 inches in diameter on the stump at four feet above the ground shall not be removed from any lot with prior approval...” If you have overcrowded trees or damaged trees from the ice storm that need removal, let us know.
No common area may be used by snowmobiles or unregistered vehicles. Snowmobiles or unregistered vehicles may not be operated on any lot or living unit.”

Next Meeting: February 10, 2014 at 7:00 in the lower Town Offices.
Respectfully submitted, Martha McClintock
