The bi-monthly meeting of the Millstone Village HOA was held at the Dupont Public Library. The meeting was called to order at 7:11 on March 12th, 2024 by President Rachael.
Attendees: President, Rachael Caldwell, VP Lee Keefer, Secretary Karen Allen. (Our Treasurer- Jerry Vandeveer passed away on Feb 22, 2024.) Also in attendance was resident- Austin Waikel.
The January meeting was not an official meeting as Rachael and Lee were the only Attendees. There were no meeting minutes recorded.
Rachael read the Treasurer report. Beginning balance on Jan 1st, 2024, of $46,604.86 and ending balance on Jan 31st, 2024, of $71,174.47. The ending balance of $73,840.09 as of February 29th 2024. The influx of money is from payments of 2024 dues paid in January. Rachael made a motion to accept the reports. Lee seconded.
Rachael announced that the Treasurer position was vacant due to the passing of Jerry Vandeveer. Austin who was present stated he would like to take on the position. Lee made a motion to accept his nomination, Karen seconded. It was unanimous approval. Rachael announced she would still like to see more volunteers. If anyone is interested, please come to the next HOA meeting in May or contact the Board at : MillstoneVillageHOA@gmail.com
Austin suggested that we get a Venmo or Paypal or some other way to pay dues other than by mailing a check. Rachael stated that if there is a fee that the payer would need to pay the fee and had concerns of tracking down what payment goes to what lot. That subject will be discussed further in the May meeting.
11 homeowners had liens filed on their properties in February for 2024 outstanding dues. They have all received late letter notifications from the attorney advising them of more fees possible. 2 paid, 2 requested payoff amounts, 1 claim she paid but no proof. After 90 days (about 3 months) from lien filing a small claims will be filed to receive a judgement. Late fees and costs will keep accumulating every year.
Rachael received bids from contractors for playground updates for needed maintenance. B Square was the lowest bidder. Playground border, maintenance on existing benches, new mulch and 3 new benches were in the bids. The total will be $7262.00 for the playground and $2260.00 to remove sunken concrete from 2 existing benches and reinstall them. B Square also submitted a bid of $450.00 to repair the cracked plexiglass on the Northland entrance sign. They will also install a vent to allow air circulation inside the sign. We will get an estimate to add
3 new benches. One will have a small name tag in memory of Jerry Vandeveer. Lee made a motion to start the approval to allow the equipment to be purchased.
The first Association Garage Sales will be Thursday May 30th thru Sat June 1. Millstone signs will be out at the 2 entrances. Participating residents are encouraged to put out their own signs to direct people to their respective sales. Media ads will also be sent out. Residents are also encouraged to advertise their own sales.
The Fall sale will be September 5 – 7.
Lee made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:20. Karen seconded. Meeting adjourned.
