CLMA Working Meeting Minutes

 

June 11, 2008  2:00 pm
 
Present: Jim Rudbeck, Bill Ramsden, Bill Aldridge, Lou Coggia + Bob Graves
 
Absent: Dallas Silverthorne
 
 
Dockmaster Manager:
·        Bob Graves reported that Bruce Jarvah has taken the Thursdays, which he used to work, and we now have Bill Sholl for a backup.
·        Bob reported that last week the fire department ran a training exercise on the docks but did not run the fire cart because the gasoline had seeped into the crankcase due to the extreme heat and the gas valve not being completely closed. He had Greg Jordan flush the fire cart twice and it is functioning now.
·        Bob will be having a session with all the dock masters next Wednesday to cover everything including the starting of the fire cart on the first of each month and making sure the gas valve on the fire cart is closed after the test.
·        Bob will now start on the Sullivan docks survey since he is no longer on duty.
·        Bob reported that the electric expense is up from last year.
·        Bob brought up a question on the policy for charging for use of the Marina Lounge for a specific group and it was agreed that we would follow HOA policy.  In the current case, we will hold the charge in abeyance and not change it if the HOA is convinced that the meetings are open to all Cypress Landing residents as demonstrate by a community-wide announcement.
 
Treasurers Report:
·        Lou Coggia reported that the electric is up +$418 thru May or 5% increase over what was budgeted. Consensus is a little higher cost and a little higher usage, which means next years budget will be increased. Maintenance is also up due to the sensor replacement.
·        Lou reported our interest income is running right on budget for this year but will have to be looked at for next year due to the reduced rates now in effect. Vanguard has dropped to 2.19% as of May will possibly move this into a CD.
 
Marina Maintenance Committee:
·        Lou reported that there are a few more sensors to be replaced and more inspections will be made next month, weather permitting.
·        Bill Ramsden suggested we do something on the main walkway to sand, stain and seal so it is all one color.
·        Lou reported that the depth soundings have been done and recorded. They are now doing the fairways but no report has been made yet.
·        Bill Ramsden reported that Bill Sholl has made up a manual draft showing the Maintenance Record and Inspection Procedures for review.
·        Bill advised the backsplash in the Marina Lounge will be tiled and the Yacht Club is paying for the materials.
 
Old Business:
·        Jim Rudbeck reported on Neil’s communications with ATM and that it is agreed for the inspection to be done in November.
·        Jim reported on the communication between Bruce Jarvah and Sullivan who has not responded to date. Bruce will be following this up shortly.
 
New Business:
·     Jim reported that he received a communication from Tomi Moody; CAM to attend an Emergency Preparedness Committee meeting tomorrow and Bob advised we have a Hurricane Manual for the Marina and all will be reading the manual.  Bob and Lou as head on the Marina Maintenance Committee will also attend.
·     Jim will be thinking about the community awards and we have an idea of a recipient.
·     Lou brought up a request for a space for Greg Jordan and we will try to accommodate him.
 
Other Business:
·        Bill Aldridge brought up the new website format and all agreed to have the webmaster go ahead with it.
·        Bill Aldridge suggested the board and Bob Graves review the “Slip Use Policy” as currently published on the web and update it for the new website. Bob will review it.
·        We also discuss skipping the July “Open Forum”.
 
Meeting closed at 2:45 PM.
