Projects yet to be completed include: irrigation at the entry, upgrading the pool, landscaping at the pool, installing a few street lights at select areas.
After some discussion, it was decided to keep the association fee for 2009 the same as 2008.
There was discussion of adding line items to the budget for trash removal from the pool, and possible maintenance needs.
Clearing of Roads
The need for salt at the entry and some intersections was discussed. George will arrange for this on an “as needed and appropriate” basis. Our roads are cleared by our landscape maintenance company when snowfall is three inches or more. All residents are asked to keep cars parked off the street when it snows so the roads can be cleared. We all need to continue to report potholes and request repaving.

Pool Committee: Joe Carpenter
Kent Scheiwe

George Millspaugh
Crime Watch: Rallie Murphy requested a volunteer for this position

Respectfully submitted,
Lynn Woods, Board Secretary

Rod Howard, Carol Howard, Jerry Feldhaus, Vernon Bryant, Sue Bryant,
Kay Goudreau, Curt Englert, Julie Timke, Bonnie Wolfinger, George Millspaugh
Introduction of Officers and Board for 2008
Kim Carpenter – President
George Millspaugh – Vice President
Curt Englert – Treasurer
Secretary Position - open
Board Members: Carrie Petty, Angie Wilson, Sherri S.
Curt moved and George seconded acceptance of the minutes from the last homeowner’s meeting (11/27/07) with the correction of Carrie Petty and Julie Timke being added to the attendance of last meeting.
Curt Englert, Treasurer presented the 2008 budget.
The Board has decided to keep the reserve fund at a minimum of $25,000 and allocated $10,000 for Capital Improvements to be used in 2008 and prioritized a 3-year plan for capital improvement expenditures.
The 3-year plan is as follows:
2008
- Remove the second tree from Mud Creek in island to even out the empty space on the other end of the island.
- Landscape lighting at front entrance
- Irrigation at front entrance
- Repair pool house as needed
2009
- Install streetlights in neighborhood for security. Locations to be determined.
2010
- Remove and replace trees in island at front entrance.
Sue Bryant felt that the streetlights should be a priority for safety and security and disagreed with addressing the front entrance and pool house again this year. She feels that we have spent money at the entrance and pool for the last couple of years and we should move on to installing streetlights for the neighborhood. Curt said that the board had decided to finish the work started last year on the front entrance before moving on to other projects.
Julie Timke moved we accept the budget as presented. Lynn Woods seconded.
The Architectural Review Form has been updated. The updated form will be included in the 2008 bills. Joe Darling and Joe Carpenter are on the Architectural Committee. All changes/additions to the exterior of your home must be submitted to and approved by the Architectural Committee. There have been several instances recently that this has not been done and it is in violation of the neighborhood covenants.
The Hamptons now has a website that we can all access for information about our neighborhood. The address is www.thehamptonsatgeist.com
Check out the website for a copy of the neighborhood covenants, architectural review form, meetings, current events, etc. You can submit your email address to be notified any time there is an update on the website so you will always be informed on what is going on in our neighborhood.
Crime Watch: Leave outside lights on at night, keep vehicles left outside locked. Watch for strange cars, unusual activity/noises, etc. Call the police and report anything suspicious. It was noted that we need more updates and a better way of communicating problems/issues. Julie Timke would like to see safety/security meetings scheduled. Kim said that was something that we could look at doing in the future.
Pool: Joe Carpenter has agreed to take the position of overseeing the operation of the pool this year.
General Neighborhood Upkeep: Everyone is encouraged to take a walk around their homes and along the sidewalk in front of their homes to look at general maintenance items that might need to be addressed ie: broken mailboxes, tree branches hanging low over sidewalks, fences that need mending, etc. The Homeowner’s Association may be addressing some issues with homeowners through the use of a Violation Form in instances where there is a violation of the neighborhood covenants.
Kim Carpenter proposed a work day in the neighborhood one day in the Spring so as a group we can clean up trash out of the lake, along Mud Creek, do some general maintenance/clean up of the common areas, etc.
Kim said that as President she is open to suggestions or ideas for improvements for the neighborhood.
The meeting was adjourned.

Gas Siphoning
By hamptons | January 2, 2008
It was just reported that we had an incident of gas being siphoned out of car tanks in Ledger Ct last evening!! The gas caps were left hanging down and gas levels were visibly lower.
The outside lights were on but this didn’t detour them, they came up in the driveway. They were brave coming that close to the house!

Snow Removal
By hamptons | December 17, 2007
Just a reminder to move all cars off the street when we receive snow so the plows can remove the snow completely from the main road and all cul-de-sacs!
Thank you for your cooperation
