Treasurer Report presented by Mr. Louis Holzknecht. The GEHOA has a current balance of $8,954.55. The budget was reviewed and a motion to accept was made by Mary Beth Wright and seconded by S McDermott.
Old Business:
The entrance was being serviced by GreenScapes. The needs for our area were presented to a couple of companies, and a bid was accepted from Kevin Knauer, Inc. His bid fell within our budget and the work to be performed is in line with our needs. The sprinkler system is functioning and this year the area will require mulch and trim of the trees in the landscape.
We have been having issues with some of our streetlights, and Mr. Henry Ford has been in contact with LG&E for service and repair. LG&E has reported that some of the delays with repair are due to a shortage or unavailability of some of the parts. He will stay in contact to get this matter resolved.
The Speed Humps for two of our streets is on the schedule. Mr. Mike Ratchford reported that they may be installed the week of May 24th. Placement is one for Sewell Drive and two on Old Toll Road. Mr. Ratchford has worked very closely with Mr. Kevin Bratcher and other personnel for the placement of these speed humps. He has been pushing to have them installed before the shutdown of I-65 because we expect our already heavy traffic to increase even more. New information signs will be placed regarding speedhump location and no outlet sign at Sewell Drive and Old Toll Road for Baumler Place being a no outlet road.
A walk through the neighborhood was conducted and many mailboxes need repair or even replacement. The numbers for the number plate can be purchased at Lowes. Mailbox information is on the Website. The contact for Duggins Co., Inc. is 1116 Ulrich Av. Louisville, KY 502-966-5774 to obtain their fees.
New Business:
We have a crisis due to snow removal fees. The budget cannot support the costs at our present intake of funds. A short discussion was conducted with the members in attendance to improve this condition. We need to raise the dues or do an assessment to the homeowners. It was favored to raise the dues. The board concurs and the dues will be raised to $225.00 starting in 2027. Mr. Ratchford made the motion to accept the proposal which was seconded by Ms. McDermott.
Motion to adjourn the meeting was approved by Mr. Mohr and seconded by Ms. McDermott. Meeting adjourned at 8:37 P.M.
