MINUTES FOR APPROVAL

HOMEOWNER FORUM
Tracy Cornish requested if permission was required from the West Shore Park Corporation board prior to a homeowner installing solar panels. Permission is not required from the WSPC board. The homeowner will need to work with Fremont Township and Lake County to ensure any permits and requirements for installation are met on the township and county level prior to installation. There was a question regarding any possible restrictions by WSP relating to “hotels, daycares, businesses, etc.” being operated in West Shore Park. There is language in the Covenants (which should be attached to each individual property deed for homes in West Shore Park) that address that matter.
CORRESPONDENCE
Mike Davenport reported that a response was received from a homeowner who had been contacted regarding a fence-type structure on the homeowner’s property. The homeowner will be removing what they stated was a temporary dog pen when they move out of their residence this year. There was a review and discussion regarding the homeowners who have received letters addressing fence-type structures on their property. Additional letters may be sent with personal follow-up from the board.

REVIEW OF TASKS LIST
Added items:
-
Review and confirm who has necessary keys to “April Action Items”.
-
Review and confirm / update who has access to Google Drive / Documents Files.
Question raised by Larry Bakirtjy: Do we have “On-Boarding/Exit Review” for new and exiting Directors and Officers? There is a Directors Handbook and a loose out-line of expectations available in the Rules and Regulations, but there is no official document available that details the descriptions and expectations, or one that has been created expressly for new or exiting Directors and Officers.
NEW BUSINESS
Larry Bakirtjy expressed his thanks to the homeowner who moved the wood pile that was on WSP Common Property.
Mike Davenport reported for Water commissioner Brett Laureys that the contractor for Phase 2 of the Forest Lane Water Main Project has recommended purchasing necessary materials as early as possible to lock in lower pricing as the cost of materials has been steadily rising and availability may falter.
There was a review and discussion of the Phase 2 Proposed Estimated Contract Cost which confirmed that current spending is still under budget.
Larry Bakirtjy moved that the Phase 2 Forest Lane Water Main Replacement proposed contract estimated cost received from Behm Enterprises, submitted from Water Commissioner, Brett Laureys, be accepted as presented by Mike Davenport. Minaxi Tailor seconded the motion. Unanimously approved by Directors Larry Bakirtjy, Mike Davenport, and Minaxi Tailor.

Minaxi Tailor moved that the meeting be adjourned. Larry Bakirtjy seconded the motion. Unanimously approved. The meeting was adjourned at 7:43 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Marilee C.C. Rusiniak, Secretary
