Those present: Bob Donner, David Fauver, John Francis, Bill

General Manager Tom O’Gara. Barney Barnhart and Mike Betcher

The Minutes of the April 15" Board Meeting had been e-mailed to
all. They were taken by Barney Barnhart last month in the absence of
Dick Zabriskie having surgery. A MOTION was made by David Fauver
and seconded by John Francis to approve the minutes, and the motion
carried.
Diane Thoene, Treasurer, reported that our income is good, and
our budget appears in fine shape. She has renewed one CD which just
came due at the rate of 1.2 %, and the average rate of interest on all of
our CDs is 1.5 %. A MOTION to accept the Treasurer’s Report was made
by John Francis, seconded by Bill Hallock, and passed.
Tom O’Gara reported that there was no further report at this time
on the Teardrop Project, or the County’s Wash project
Tom O’Gara gave his General Manager’s Report
1, The Wash Station project is almost finished, with two more signs
to be put up in the next few days.
2. The Auditing of our books is in progress.3. Our billing is complete now, with all members paid.
4, It is expected that all of the work regarding the new computers in
the office, etc. will be complete by the end of the summer.
5. Blackstone Security has lost the very fine guard at our gate who
moved away, and has had trouble finding us the desirable
replacements. We hope it will get better soon. Blackstone has
also requested a 50 cent raise for its workers, and we have
delayed approving this until the staffing is improved.
Under Old Business:
1. Century link has a cable lying across our road. Tom has
been working on this to get it solved. Tom is also looking into
a wireless solution to our occasional needs. The regular
business of the Compound is not dependent on the Internet,
and makes use of the Cloud.
2. A request was made by a member that a spray hose be
available on top of the Wash Rack. After discussion, it was
decided not to undertake this, for liability and other reasons.
3. Tom will continue to check into a moving barricade
arm at the exit gate, which seems to be in favor by all.
Under New Business:
Tom mentioned two items that were then discussed by the Board:
1, A pesky IRS agent, trying to get from us something already
submitted.
2. The situation of a member twisting his ankle, from a
claimed misalignment of the pavement, and a notificationfrom his attorney, though no formal claim. Tom will notify
our Insurance Agent of this pending matter.
There being no further business, the meeting was declared
adjourned at 9:45 AM.
Respectfully submitted,
Richard E. Zabriskie, Secretary
