Henann – Benchmark Property Mgmt. The meeting was called to order at 6:01 p.m. by Dan Rothenberger. The minutes from the Board of Directors meeting held March 31, 2003 were reviewed and approved. The board heard from residents regarding community issues including security, police patrols and the “unofficial” community web site developed and maintained by Tom Toth, an HHE resident. Tom asked the board for suggestions regarding the web site. The board agreed to give Tom the approved minutes from board meetings as well as any other important public information concerning the community. Dan Rothenberger read his Presidents report briefly stating some of his concerns and views for our community as well as mentioning policies on commercial vehicles and security issues. Tom Base read his Treasurers report stating our cash on hand, reserves at Amtrust Bank, late fees, pre-paid assessments, past due assessments and future financial projects. At the time of our meeting we currently had $11833.70 outstanding/delinquent with $52,589.00 in our operating account. The treasurer also brought to the boards attention that over $24,000.00 was not accessible to the community due to paperwork errors on the part of our previous management company. This issue was resolved by Tom and Dan with the help of our former community treasurer. Our property manager notified the board of over 250 letters going out for maintenance issues on residence properties. Melissa is currently obtaining competitive bids for the possible replacement of the Security Company and repairs of the street at model row. The board is aggressively reviewing bids for repairs and upgrades throughout our community. Security issues were discussed at length and the overall consensus of the board is dissatisfaction with our current security company. Dan agreed to talk with the owner of the company to make him very clear of our dissatisfaction. This dissatisfaction comes after a lengthy meeting with his supervisor Bob at the March meeting, where he promised positive changes in their performance. The board agreed that if security issues are not improved we would seek out the services of a new company. With no further business the meeting was adjourned at 8:35 p.m.
