Snow Mountain Farms Board of Directors Meeting

December 11, 2004
Meeting was called to order at 4:00 P.M. by president Ron Wencil.  Meeting was held at the clubhouse.

-Directors attending were Ron Wencil, Neal Harvey, Jim Maloney, Jim Corning,  Paul Rothbart, Dirk Cionci, Rusty Gower and manager Ed Cole.  Association members attending were  Jeff Martin, Tom Avenia, Paul Schwippert, Peter Zezima and Brian Roth. 

-Ed Cole read minutes from the annual meeting in August.  Minutes from that meeting were accepted as read.  Ed Cole also read the Profit and Loss Statement from May through November 2004.  Ed reviewed the “Customer Balance Summary” and went into some detail regarding pending collection of delinquent accounts.  The outstanding balance was reduced by ~ $9000 or 18% from the 2003 balance.  Additional revenue collections, which are pending, will reduce the outstanding balance an additional 15%.  Ed’s efforts this year are nothing short of remarkable under the circumstances.  Ed’s report was approved as read.

-There were no building applications for review at this meeting.
-Recent property sales have resulted in the addition of four properties, which were     previously unencumbered, joining the membership roles of the association.

-Tom Avenia requested the board consider a change to the association by-laws excluding the use of vinyl siding in future home applications.  He submitted a written request from Allison and Patrick Gauthier who also support this change.  After some preliminary discussion Ron Wencil agreed that the board at the March meeting or a telephone conference would discuss the request with the board members.

-Club House activities for this year included the replacement of the pool liner and pool filter.  The cleanliness, appearance and temperature stability are significantly improved with the new filter.  The oil company recently found one of the boilers was cracked and not repairable.  The boiler is scheduled for replacement before the Christmas holiday week.  We hope to get the pool temperature stable and have hot water in the bathrooms before the holiday.

-Bob Arms submitted a new contract with associated price increases for maintenance and care taking activities at the clubhouse.  Although the increase is substantial it has been many years since the last contract change.  The board with minor modification approved the contract.

-SMF management will transfer to “Wallace Properties” of Dover Vt. The change will occur on January 1, 2005.  Announcement of this change will go out to the property owners at the earliest opportunity.

-A budget meeting for members is tentatively scheduled for March 12, 2005.  Board and members will be notified when the specifics are decided.

-The annual members meeting and picnic is tentatively scheduled for July 23, 2005.  The board dinner will be held on July 22nd.

-Other activities tentatively scheduled for 2005 are resurfacing of the tennis court, a new sign at the entrance off Fay Boyden and painting the outside of the clubhouse.

-The hours when members have access to the clubhouse have been changed.  The new times are: open at 7:00 am and closed at 9:00 pm.  Signs will be put up to reflect this change in the schedule.

The meeting was adjourned at 5:45.

Respectfully submitted by Neal Harvey for John Leonard, Secretary
