HIDDEN LAKE ASSOCIATION BOARD MEETING
Amended Minutes
HOME OF DONNA MOXLEY
JANUARY 11, 2018 6:30 PM
Present: President- Mike Kelley, Vice President- Bill Osterhout, Treasurer- Nick Cashorali, Secretary- Dian Mathews, Directors- Donna Moxley, Mikki Falcone, Mike Gallagher
Minutes of the December 2017 meeting accepted as amended.
ACTIONS
1. The Board began looking over the Bylaws revisions presented to them by the Bylaws
Committee.
A. Discussion concerned the 1990 “Grandfather Clause” which was added to
the HLA Bylaws, but never acknowledged as an “amendment to the Bylaws”.
We are not sure exactly how many HLA members this clause includes as there
is no data on this in any HLA papers; we believe there might be six members.
B. We also believe there might be situations where the member had lots merged with
the Town and the HLA member began to be assessed for one lot rather than the
original number. This would be prior to 2010.
Both these issues need to be brought to our lawyer.
We need to do some looking into our old HLA papers and/or deeds to see if we can
get answers. (There also seems to be an issue with many of our HLA deeds saying
different things in regards to being responsible for paying an HLA assessment.
DISCUSSIONS
1. Treasurer Issues: The Board agreed that Vice President Bill Osterhout will sign on to
the Walpole Savings account.
Mike Kelley will ask Tracy Noga if she would consult.
Dian will get the mail.
Mike suggested we put more memory into the HLA computer.
He will be “Read Only” on the accounts. He will be able to update and/or change
records, but not deal with money.
Bill Osterhout will hold the check book and be responsible for paying PJD the 9,560
the first of each month.
Our insurance bill of $1,138 is due Feb.1, 2018.
Donna will do data entry.
2. We are considering writing a letter to those members who have not removed their
trailers and are in violation of the Covenants. Another idea we might discuss: members
not adhering to the Covenants might not be eligible for a boat slip as they would not be
a “member in good standing”.
Meeting adjourned at 8:55 PM.
Dian Mathews, Recording Secretary
