MOODY POINT COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING MINUTES
The Board of Directors of the MPCA met on Monday, February 3, 2003 at Les and Peg Regenbogen’s home. Present were Bill Cormier standing in for Gary Marmontello, Linda Edwards, Adam Moore, Peg Regenbogen, Gloria Singer and Les Regenbogen, presiding.
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m.
The minutes of the January 6, 2003 meeting were accepted.
Treasurer’s Report: Linda Edwards pointed out that the water and sewer budget items probably will not be sufficient through the fiscal year. She also noted there had been incorrect billings, to developers, for our new capital reserve account. This matter is being addressed with Great North’s accounting department.
Committee Reports:
Environmental Committee: Peg Regenbogen reported that the Environmental Committee has suggested a community workshop meeting in March to cover two topics:
1. Education re mosquito spraying to be given by Mike Morrison, Municipal Pest Management Services, Inc.
2. Fertilizer and pesticide use at Moody Point to be given by Herb Rice, Urban Tree Service.
The committee also suggested that “Environmentally Speaking” updates be sent out with the MPCA board minutes to keep homeowners informed of timely environmentally related activities.
Community Life Community: Linda Edwards reported the first gathering was held January 15, 2003. It was a brain-storming session at which many ideas were discussed. The next meeting of this group will be held on February 6, 2003 at which time the committee hopes to formalize its status.
Web Site Committee: The
Moody Point web site has been registered and is now active and available to all
homeowners. Moody Pointers can access
this site at www.moodypoint.org.
Water Systems Group: Les Regenbogen informed the board that Chuck Dennehy reported the back flow trials were conducted, as recommended in Bill McTigue’s report, on January 22, 2003 and the results are currently being evaluated.
Les Regenbogen advised that he sent a letter to the Assistant Public Works Director of the Town of Newmarket requesting installation and upgrading of the potable water meters to current standards in approximately twenty-one units.
At the last board meeting, the rebuilding of one of our sewer pumps was discussed and deferred to the Water Systems Group for their recommendation and cost estimate. Their recommendation was to perform this work as soon as possible with a cost estimate of $1900. Both were approved by the board via email prior to this meeting.
Adam Moore moved, Linda Edwards seconded and the board approved that we spend up to $1000.00 to have the law firm of Pierce Atwood brief us on issues, particularly responsibilities and liabilities, relating to the “Sanitary Protection Zones” surrounding our well heads.
Les Regenbogen showed the board a letter that had been received from Diana Morgan, NHDES. The NHDES has put Moody Point on notice that we have approximately ninety days to install signs, along the section of Cushing Road that falls within our well sanitary protection area, notifying that this is a no-salt zone. As this had been agreed upon by Epping Well at the time of approval for the well, Epping Well has been notified and agreed to pursue the matter until satisfaction of State requirements.
Open Matters:
Legal Representation: It was suggested that this be put on the next meeting’s agenda as an action item.
Mailboxes: We were not able to find a buyer for our old mailboxes so we donated them to the town of Newmarket Post Office.
Policy Handbook: Les Regenbogen provided the board with copies of the current revised draft. The board members were asked to read it and be prepared to review it at another meeting.
Other Business:
Distribution of MPCA
By-law Amendments: The by-law
amendments that were voted on and passed at the September 12, 1998 annual
meeting and the August 26, 2000 annual meeting have been registered at county
and state levels. Hard copies will be
sent to all current homeowners, builders and developers. All homeowners should attach
copies of these amendments to the MPCA book of by-laws they received when they
purchased their unit.
The next meeting will be held on March 3, 2003 at Gloria Singer’s home at 7:00 p.m.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:40.
Respectfully submitted,
Peg Regenbogen
Secretary
