 6. Old Business

Item 1: Community liability – Watson to report best option to prevent liability for community if Board member is injured on community grounds while volunteering.  Fran hasn’t yet received a response from the attorney.  Another property Watson manages has a worker’s compensation packet that covers volunteers, she will follow up and get more details and report back at next meeting.  MRE currently has $5,000 coverage limit.

Item 2:  Appeals Committee - George Rafferty was planning on sharing update on properties identified by him that clearly do not meet community standards.  He is absent due to personal matters, so the Board agreed to table the subject until next meeting.  Kevin informed board that he and George Rafferty are looking for volunteers to be on the appeals committee.  Donna questioned when the formation of an appeals committee was approved by the board.  Revision of previous meeting minutes clarified that creation of a committee was discussed, however, not approved by the Board.  The entire matter, including creation of the committee, was tabled until the next meeting for further discussion. 

Item 3:  Pool Update – Twenty-eight filter grids need replacement.  Kirsplash quoted $1,050 for filter grids and installation.  Kevin motioned that he get 2 additional comparable quotes and move ahead to get work done for $1,050 or less.  Charles seconded.  Unanimous approval. 

Item 4:  Kevin expressed concern regarding report from Kirsplash visit where PH levels are at 8 (limit is 7.6) and 0 chlorine levels (should be 1 – 10).  This may be a sign that the chlorinator is failing or may be a result of all the rain in last few days.  Kevin and Watson will verify next report to assure numbers are in line with local requirements.  Pool was determined to be safe by Kirsplash for community use, despite above results. 

Item 5:  Pool lights – Georg has verified one light as approved in our last meeting.  The only issue with the light is that the bulb has burnt out.  As a result, he has ordered 4/100 watt incandescent light bulbs and 4 sealing rings to replace rest of lights in the pool.  Each item cost $6.00.  Board approved Georg’s actions and plans during last meeting.  All present board members aligned.      

Item 6:  New unfinished business brought by Kevin.  Payment of Autorain of $278 for services rendered on irrigation system.  Kevin hired Autorain directly for work.  Watson has the check ready to send to vendor, however, is waiting to receive the W9 and insurance information from vendor as for their records.  This is part of Watson regular procedures.  Autorain has not responded to Watson’s requests.  Kevin feels very strongly that Autorain did quality work and that payment should be sent.  Kevin proposed that he pay Autorain himself.  This was rejected.  Donna expressed that this is yet another example of when Board isn’t allowing Watson to do their work.  As Watson should be the one responsible for hiring vendors and following their procedures to assure vendors have proper insurance.  Donna made motion to pay Watson when information Watson requires as part of the normal process is received, Charles seconded.  Motion passed.

Item 7: “Transaction detail by account” report has not been received by Kevin. He wants a printout for each line item in our 2025 operating budget. This request was made at Board’s last meeting.  Watson questioned why Kevin and Charles are so intent on checking all details of transactions.  Kevin responded that it is the right and responsibility of Board members to review finances.  Kevin requested that 2025 Transaction detail by account report he has requested be sent to him by Friday, July 24th.  In addition, Kevin requested that May / June 2026 reconciled checks be sent to Charles. Watson mentioned that they are willing to provide reports, however, may have to charge for these going forward as they are time consuming.       

Item 8: Amneris bank account signatures - Kevin and Charles were previously approved to be added as authorized signers for MRE regular operating bank account.  Kevin informed attendees that Charles and himself are requesting to be added as authorized signers to the money market reserve account and to remove Watson from the reserve account.  Kevin mentioned that this had already been approved by Board.  By reviewing printouts of previous meeting minutes during the meeting, it became clear that adding Kevin and Charles to regular operating account has been approved.  However, removing Watson and adding Charles/Kevin to reserve account was not previously discussed at meetings nor voted on.  Kevin added that taking Watson off the money market reserve account was a standard protective measure, however, not everybody agreed with this perspective.  Watson offers continuity as board members may change and it is also important from a liability perspective.  Donna moved to table this discussion until a meeting where the entire Board is present.  No further action shall be taken until then.  Charles voted in favor.  Motion passed. 

Item 1: Damaged mailbox - Charles found correct replacement pedestal.  Motion made by Charles for him to order the stand for up to $450 and for Georg/Kevin to install it.  Donna seconded.  Motion passed. 

Item 2: Code of Ethics - Mary Kremek’s letter describing encounter with Kevin was explained (actual letter is attached after these minutes).  Mary was watering her plants in her yard when she saw her neighbor Kevin and said hello.  Kevin proceeded to flip her.  Mary’s request is for MRE Board to consider putting in place a Code of Ethics for board members to follow when interacting with residents to provide an atmosphere of courtesy, civility, and trust during interactions with residents.  Kevin stated that he was not acting at that moment as President of the Board, instead as a regular guy.  He also stated that he will be writing with the assistance of his sister, a lawyer, the history of what happened between him and his neighbors for Board members to understand the background (Mary Kremek did mention the history between herself and Kevin as background during the meeting).  Watson informed Board that they have received various phone calls from residents regarding Kevin’s behavior.  Watson is now telling residents that call in to put their comments in writing and that Watson will bring them to board instead of just calling office to complain and expecting Watson to do something to correct their grievance.  So far Watson has received three complaints in writing, including the one read today.  Fran informed us that we as the Board are not required by law to put a code of ethics in place.  Georg motioned for sample code of ethics provided by Watson to be reviewed by Board members and to discuss the topic again at the next meeting.  All approved.

Subject: Request for Rosemont Vista Palms HOA Code of Ethics Adoption

Dear Susan,  It is my hope that the attached can be brought up to the board in hopes of a discussion and adoption to clarify  behavioral expectations for our elected members, as I could not find any reference to this in our documents online.

Dear Susan, 

It is my hope that the attached can be brought up to the board in hopes of a discussion and adoption to clarify  behavioral expectations for our elected members, as I could not find any reference to this in our documents online.

 Unfortunately, I had an odd communication with our HOA President on July 2nd at 6:30 pm in my front yard. I waved, as I do to all my neighbors, in a friendly manner,  to my next door neighbor, Kevin. I was watering my maple tree in the middle of our lot. 

He was in his driveway and looked at me.  With a very stern look on his face, he shook his middle finger at me as an unmistakable  message. He then turned and walked into his house. I continued watering and did not reply or move in any way.

Of note is that  Kevin has not spoken to me since a runoff issue occurred two years ago and I requested board assistance. However, I thought a friendly wave would be ok  after all this time had lapsed. 

While I  realize that his reaction  may stem from that decision not to speak to me, the fact is we have young children in our neighborhood who could witness these reactions. 

 Although this has occurred only once with me, it would be worse if I said nothing and the behavior repeated with others. I  have not had any communication from Kevin since this incident. 

It would seem to me that it is in the community's best interest, to adopt a code of ethics for elected members of the HOA Board. My hope is that you can bring this to the BOD and they will consider this for discussion and possible adoption 

in some form at the next board meeting.
