Board of Directors Meeting February 18, 2020

Call to Order 7:03 PM

  • Previous Meeting – Prior meeting minutes were previously approved by the Board.
  • Entrance Wall Status Update – Contract to build the entrance walls with Frank Kurk Masonry signed ($17136). Site has been ditched for pouring the footers. Details with Granite America (granite logos and plaques, $2295) have been agreed upon and approved. Materials for templates and granite installation will be purchased (approximately $400) by L. Wright. Landscaping after wall installation will be determined at a later date.
  • Speed Humps – Years ago some neighbors and the Board of Directors investigated whether speed humps could be installed on both Old Toll Road and Sewell Drive to slow down the speeding short cut traffic going to and coming from Glenmary. Louisville Metro Department of Public Works online documents indicate that neither road is eligible for speed humps. However, we have no association record that a required written request for speed hump evaluation was ever made. Therefore a letter will be sent by L. Holzknecht to the Department of Public Works to request an evaluation.
  • HOA Website – The HOA website is old and tired. It is “non-responsive” which means that it always appears the same regardless of the device used to view it. If you have ever looked at it on a cell phone you understand and realize you need to zoom in to read what is there. Sometime this year L. Holzknecht will migrate the current website to a new site that is more up to date and “responsive”.
  • Disabled Auto – There is a disabled car on Baumler Place. The owner will be contacted and asked to remove or garage the vehicle.
  • Treasurer’s Report – Current balance is $23, 903.33. Seventeen annual dues are still outstanding and payable by March 1, 2020. A reminder letter has been sent to the owners. Two properties owe annual dues for multi-years. Certified letters have been sent to those owners.
  • Attorney – The Board is still searching for an HOA attorney.
  • Board Positions – The Board elected Lonnie Wright – President and Michael Baker – Secretary. Several candidates for Board membership were discussed.
  • Annual Meeting – The Annual Meeting has been set for Tuesday April 21, 2020 at 7:00 PM, location 8101 Baumler Court.

Meeting Adjourned: 8:00 PM

Minutes Approved: Lonnie wright, Louis Holzknecht, Henry Ford, Michael Baker

SouthPointe Commons

Several neighbors have asked about the shopping center by Bates.  Councilman Robin Engel was asked and states:

Thank you for reaching out to Councilman Engel’s office.

SouthPointe Commons is still an ongoing project. The developers decided that they needed to remove the “coming in 2018” sign since it was no longer accurate. They should be replacing it with a new sign soon. Moreover the developers have also reported that they plan to take the first building, Panera, vertical this fall. Additionally, Total Wine and Aldi are coming to SouthPointe Commons. When we have more updates we will post them in our E-Newsletter

Board of Directors Meeting 10/01/2019

Called to Order 7:20 pm. by Jim Overturf, President

Attendees: Jim Overturf, Henry Ford, Lonnie Wright, Louis Holzknecht and Sharon McDermott

Type of Meeting: Board of Directors Meeting

Facilitator: Jim Overturf

Note taker: Sharon McDermott

Prior meeting minutes noted and accepted.

New Business: Mr. Overturf resigned due to relocation from Louisville. Mrs. McDermott resigned as secretary and from the Board of Directors. Mrs. McDermott will prepare a brief outline of what her duties as secretary and will pass it and all HOA retained paper work and documents onto Mr. Holzknecht. within the next two weeks, Mr. Wright will assume leadership of the Board of Directors.

Mr. Overturf reported to the Board that he had received an email from Mr. Burnette at 11200 Sewell Dr regarding the lack of weeding at the entrance. Mr. Wright said he had also spoken with Mr. Burnette regarding the planting and landscape of the backside. Mr. Wright explained all the HOA does on the backside is mulch. Mr. Burnette would be welcome to plant on the backside what he would like just as the owner at 11201 Sewell does.

Treasurer Report: Mr. Holzknecht presented our balance and the approximate costs to finish out the year. We still have two home owners with outstanding back dues and penalties. Mr. Holzknecht had some questions regarding the Covenant upgrade that was to be filed at the County Clerks Office. After discussion, the Board decided to hold the update for further investigation. Along these lines, the Board discussed the matter of obtaining a lawyer for the HOA to assure all matters are handled properly.

Mr. Wright presented designs for the replacement of the entrance walls. All Board members studied and expressed likes and dislikes. The two most favored were the designs sketched by Mr. Wright. They look the most appropriate for our community. Price could be the determining factor for the final choice. Mr. Burnette and Mr. Birk will be included in the meetings regarding the entrance changes.

Mr. Holzknecht explained to the Board that our website is old technology and should be updated to a website that is responsive to the screen size, platform it is viewed on (e.g. cellphone, tablet, desktop monitor). An upgraded service is needed for better format and protection. He has been checking HOA website developers and has found several options. The Board members present told him that he is the one with the “know” and he should get what we need to serve our HOA requirements.

Meeting adjourned: 8:45 pm.
