The meeting was called to order at 7:35 by President Larry Velte. Joe Meyer, Bernie Shinal and Armand Fournier were absent.

Reading of the November minutes was waived, having been approved as amended by electronic vote earlier.

It was discussed that changes to the draft annual audit text had been submitted to RCS Management for adoption by the auditing firm. Once those changes are incorporated, and the Treasurer has reviewed the financial information contained therein,the audit will be accepted by the Board..

Regarding the aged receivables report, it was discussed that RCS has sent 20 people final notices that their assessments are past due and lien action is possible. Nine of the 20 have existing liens due to non-payment of last year’s assessments, while 11 of them were first time notices.

RCS’s performance was discussed, and Mr. Fred Fredericks mentioned that it would be incumbent upon the board to put the management company contract up for bid prior to the next annual meeting. This would assure the members that we have done due diligence in investigating management rates for this prominent budget item. The discussion was tabled until the next Board meeting and no vote was taken.

Debbie Dogrul and Associates was visited by Ms. Dina Gorrell to discuss compliance with the HOA re-sale requirements. A copy of all Kings Park West Community Association addresses was given to Ms. Amina Basic, Debbie’s Operations Manager. She assured Dina that this list would be distributed to all associates with listings in the Kings Park West neighborhood, so that they would be aware of the requirement, (even if a potential homeowner were unaware of or denied that they live in an HOA).

The storm drain on Commonwealth has been checked by Larry Velte, and deemed in good shape.

Fred reported that there were no updates on the Kings West Pool Board’s progress in setting up a meeting to discuss future actions.

Communications from Members – None

Meeting was adjourned at 8:20.
