New Business
Correspondence:
Letter drafted from OMA to Marin County Community Development Agency re: Lawson's Landing Draft Environmental Impact Report, & stating OMA's concerns that the impact of heavy traffic in & out peak recreation periods was inadequately addressed in the DEIR.
Uncertain whether Dick Kapash had sent the letter off before leaving town. Bessie will send follow-up copy to Agency.
Members Forum:
Candy McCorkell - New home project on Kailua seems dead. She says no work has taken place lately, and with recent rain, mud has been sluicing into the road.
Treasurer's Report: Bob Bell
End of Quarter - spending is under budget.
Q: Tree removal project - do we still owe more money? A: Original scope of work is complete and payable. All invoices have been submitted. $20k does not yet show on the books at EBMC or bank statement. There are some more trees that need to come down, Small World will submit a new bid to cover those.
Currently, not all expenditures and receipts get routed through the Treasurer. Bob gets the information later, and then must figure it out. PROPOSAL: Write a procedure document detailing the proper routing of all payments and receipts, including back-up for Treasurer when unavailable. Bob to present it to the board at the next BOD meeting. Kathy Shaw will assist Bob in setting up new accounting books associated with new procedures.
Outstanding dues =$3950, mostly late fees. Bob will send delinquent list to David Shaw, who will verify Owners of Record and correct mailing addresses.
