Opening;

The Annual meeting of the Millstone Village was held on Nov 14, 2022 at Dupont Library and was called to order by Pres. Rachael Caldwell at 7 pm.

Present: Pres. Rachael Caldwell, VP Lee Keefer, Treas. Jerry Vandeveer and Secy. Karen Allen.

Minutes: Rachael read the minutes for the Nov 9th, 2021 Annual meeting.  Jerry Vandeveer made a motion to approve them and Lee Keefer seconded the motion.

Karen then read the minutes for the last regular meeting, which was held Sept 6, 2022.   Rachael made a motion to accept and Lee approved.

Jerry Vandeveer read the Treasurers report. It was noted that June Ball (Accountant) has asked for her duties to be taken over. The beginning balance as of August 31, 2022 was $11, 239.54. Sept 30 balance was $4832.45, Oct 31 balance was $8713.34. Lee made a motion to approve the Sept and Oct Treas report, Karen seconded.

Rachael read the police log for Sept and October.  There were just 7 calls in total.  None of which is unusual or out of the ordinary.

Our current snow plow service is raising rates from $85 to $150 an hour (salting extra) for each occurrence.  That company is perfectly fine if we get someone else.  Both Lee and Jerry will start looking for new contractors.

Rachael submitted the new 2023 Millstone Budget. The budget shows Income of $59,280 from 380 home owners paying annual HOA dues of $156 each (same as 2022). It was noted that prices can fluctuate.  But the way it stands, we will have a surplus of $14,952.00 for 2023.  Those monies will possibly be used to pay to dredge the pond next spring.  The Board approved the 2023 Budget and also agreed that we can keep the annual dues at $156 per home.

The Board discussed using Rob Aplin CPA firm to process the annual 1120 H Tax form, will look into that.

Rachael submitted a copy of the postcard to be sent for annual dues.   We approved and all agreed that she submit to the printing company ASAP.  They should be in mailboxes by N0v 30th. Rachael will also send year end 2022 invoices to the 6 Northland businesses who now share in the annual pond maintenance fees.  the fees total $1915.42.

The 1 small claims court case for collecting 2022 dues was resolved by setting up a payment plan for the homeowner.  To date they have paid 1 payment with 2 more due.

Rachael made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 7:56.   Karen seconded.    Meeting adjourned.

Next meeting will be in January.    No definite date has been determined.

Respectfully submitted by Karen Allen

Rachael read the police log for July and August. Nothing out of the ordinary. Residents have expressed concern for speeders and drivers running through the stop sign at Medallion and Fox Run. Police set up a timed observance and gave some residents a warning.

Jerry acknowledged Rachael’s diligence in getting 6 businesses along Northland Blvd to agree to their earlier commitment to help maintain Ponds 1&2 which are at the Lima Rd (Northland Blvd) entrance and along Oak Bay Run. We have recouped 6 years (2016-2021) of pond maintenance cost from all 6 of the businesses for a total of $17,596.57. Going forward the 6 businesses will be assessed 53% of the 2 ponds maintenance costs.

Rachael discussed collecting past due 2022 Association dues.  A September 20 court date was set for 1 claim.

The August 13 social with ice cream and Heartland sings saw a turnout of about 40 people.   State Farm has advised that they will be glad to do it again next year.

A discussion was made about new bids for snow plowing and mowing. 1 bid was turned in for mowing. We are hoping to get several bids.

A discussion was made about possible dredging of the pond. Lee thinks the best time to dredge would be in the winter. We need to get a depth measurement on the first pond closest to Northland Blvd.

Garage sale signs were approved for 2 banners and 5 signs for future Association Garage Sales. Also approved signs for “no throwing rocks”, “danger, keep off” and  “no dumping” signs.

Lee made a motion to adjourn at 7:56pm.   Jerry seconded.
