Property owners in attendance:Ken Petry (Lot #0994), Sener Calis (Lot # 0966).Others in attendance: Mike Casimir, Chief Bell.

Property Owners Time:Ken Petry (Lot #0994) asked if there would be a way to arrange the Deputy schedule for double coverage when there seems to be a lot of speeding and not having coverage from 1 am-4 am? He indicated that he followed two Amazon Prime trucks, both doing 30-35 miles per hour. Ken believes that speeding will just get worse during the Christmas season. He also asked the Board to reconsider speed bumps that are removable and don’t mess up the snowplows.

Approval of October 2020 Minutes:Motion 20-087was made and passed 9-0.Board of Trustees Committee Reports:

Constitution, Rules & Regulations: (Chair – Steve Grapp)Nothing to report.

Investment: (Chair – Dave Wheatley)Dave Wheatley reported that despite the ups and downs in the election process, the stock market continues to rise. Our investments are at $2,263,492, up over $12,000 since moving our accounts to Morgan Stanley. We continue to stay the course in the bond market.

CLPOA/CU Exploratory: (Co-Chairs – Christine Cooney, Kent Feliks)Nothing to report.

Lake Drainage, Roads & Dam: (Chair – Brian Welch)Mike Casimir provided an update in the board packet. The Soccer field work, the farmer’s field drainage issue, the removal of the tree at the Karok swale, and the completion of the work to resolve the drainage issue on Yuma & Cher-okee.

Lake Water Quality: (Chair – Michael Dorne)Mike Casimir reported that the committee is meeting with Hartland Dredging. They want to see the lake when the water is down.

Land/Facility & Long Range Planning: (Chair – Suprena Lohrer)Suprena provided the information in the board packet. We want the Board to approve the one large project slated for 2021. The basketball court updating on the Eastside and Westside, and restructuring the tennis courts to accommo-date pickleball. The courts will allow for one tennis court and four pickleball courts. We have three quotes, and we are recommending Heiberger Paving. Mike Casimir discussed the reasons for the recommendation. As of July 1, 2021, the bank account will have the money to fund this project. If we want to do this project in the spring of 2021, we need to finance it from other accounts. The Board discussed the financing of this project and identified several options. Motion 20-088 was made and passed 9-0. The committee will work on the financing options.

Personnel: (Chair – Jim Price)Nothing to report.

Lake Committee Reports:Building Review: (Chair – Bill Laney)Mike Casimir provided documentation for a requested boat house variance at 1960 Palouse. He discussed the variance and reasons for the request and recommendation. Motion 20-089was made and passed 9-0.

Choctaw Utilities: (Chair – Brian Welch)Brian Welch indicated that Dave Wheatley pointed out some shortcomings in the six-month financials from the CU. After Brian had a CPA review the financials, he sent the CPA’s comments to Dave Lohrer and Kent Feliks at the CU. The revised reports are in the board packet. The CU is reviewing the loan’s reporting on the financials and how it is amor-tized and accounted for.

Who makes the changes recommended is still being discussed. Brian is advising that the changes should be made by

Page 6: THE FEBRUARY 2021 PEACE PIPE - Choctaw Lake

Clark Schaefer Hackett, CPA, as they have an excellent track record with our organization.

We are still requesting monthly reports. CU only wants to report quarterly. Given the issues identified in the financials, Christine Cooney wants CLPOA to be able to review the financials monthly. Christine Cooney indicated too many dis-crepancies in the reporting of the financials and the people responsible for updating and checking the financials. We have a fiduciary responsibility to the property owners for our asset; therefore, we want to see the reports monthly. Motion 20-090 was made and died. Michael Dorne suggested that CLPOA send a letter to the CU board requesting the monthly reports. We can discuss the next steps upon the response from the CU.

Bill Laney asked if the CU By-laws identify the number of board members. CLPOA BoT made the motion to change the number of board members from five to seven. Don Gregory verified that the Board had the authority to change the number of members from five to seven and published in the PeacePipe. At the time, the lake was having brown water issues, and we were looking at building a new water plant. CLPOA thought there needed more oversight and coverage in resolving the brown water and planning for a new plant. With the new plant in production, Brian suggested going back to five board members. March 2021 is when we need to address CU board members. Bill Laney will look into the CU Corporate By-laws.

Suprena suggested we solicit potential people for the CU board. Motion 20-091 was made and failed 4-5.Collections: (Chair – Suprena Lohrer)Mike Casimir reported on the two accounts identified, last board meeting that passed the $2500 threshold. One set up a payment plan, and the other has not responded to our letters or calls. Motion 20-092 was made and passed 7-2. Suprena Lohrer also reported that we had three payoffs last month.

Patrol Report: (Chief Bell)Report as submitted. Brian Welch asked if the Board could get a report immediately after anything serious as the acci-dent occurred on Halloween Night. Chief Bell indicated that the accident is still under investigation and could not relay any information related to the case. Anything they say regarding the case could hinder the case. Until it becomes public record, the Board would have to contact the Sherriff’s office.

Property Manager Report: (Mike Casimir)Mike Casimir discussed the Procedure Audit. He asked that the Board send him the list of items they want to see in the audit. We want to get this done this fiscal year.

Mike Casimir discussed the drainage quote for Karok and asked the Board to approve $10,000 for this project. There are two large trees in the middle of the drain swale, and one is a massive 80ft Cottonwood tree. There are three quotes for this project, and he recommends Hoffman Tree Service for $8500. There is additional work at the West Choctaw end to create a drain swale. The operating budget will fund this project. Motion 20-093 was made and passed 9-0.Mike Casimir provided information on the Boat Patrol boat motor but is not requesting spending approval. He expects to get additional information.

Mike Casimir reviewed with the Board the Q3 and Q4 net spend. Mike Casimir reported that our goal is for expenses to meet our income. We have had an excellent year this with our income vs. expenses and are looking at ways to use the additional revenue to better the community. One item dis-cussed is additional patrolling. Mike and Patrol agreed that four days per week, 4 to 5 hours per day, to the end of the year, we would have an extra patrol car with its sole focus is to do radar at different locations and times. Then we would re-evaluate in December.

Mike Casimir indicated that he would have the first draft for the 2021 budget in a couple of weeks. He will schedule a work meeting at the end of November.

Communications & Publications: (Chair – Brian Welch)Nothing to report.

Recreation: (Chair – Marty Ditello)Marty reported that he is working on an outdoor movie event. He has sponsors for the three outdoor movie events. The recommendations are for two kid’s movies and one adult movie.

Sewer Report: (Chair – Michael Dorne)Michael Dorne reported that the Sewer Board is still working on the Somerford Sewer project.

Treasurer Report: (Suprena Lohrer)Suprena provided the financial package. We are doing well. Building permits are up. Delinquent account payments came in. The Board reviewed and discussed.

Old Business:PO MeetingChristine Cooney reported on the latest update from the Ohio State Law allowing for HOA meetings as long as they are held in a building with standards for Banquet Halls. She called Kamen, Cusimano, who indicated that we fit those guidelines. Discussion followed.

Ballot and Nominating Committee appointments The Board passed Motion 20-082 at the October BoT meeting, appointing Clem Estrada, Brenda O’Connor, and Jeff Pitt to the Ballot Counting Committee. The Board passed Motion 20-084 via eMotion on October 27, 2020, appointing Brandon Creek, Nathan Stull, and Mike Pompura to the Nominating Committee. The Choctaw Weekly reported the names, and the committees have already started the process.

CU Financials The Board discussed CU Financials during the Lake Committee Reports, Choctaw Utilities Report.

New Business:Traffic Calming DevicesMike Casimir shared the data he pulled from the speed machine for September and October. The data supports that this device is effective in slowing people down. Board agreed to purchase one radar sign. Mike discussed that signs purchased now, and in the future, will be installed on a street pole. The mobile trailer will still be used throughout the year.

Multiple accounts on the G Suite Business account including Lake Manager, Office Accounts, BoT distribution EmailMarty Ditello recommended a separate Lake Manager Account for Mike to use instead of the Gmail account that Mike currently uses. He also pointed out the benefits of having a separate single distribution account that would send one email to all board members. The single distribution account would allow all board members to review all emails sent to that account. Also, the property owners could have one email address to send to the Board. Marty will work with Mike and Cassie to set this up and provide more details.

Holiday events with COVID restrictionsMarty asked for direction on who he needs to work with for this event. Christine Cooney indicated that the Booster Club usually did this in the past.

Dan Blazer, Mike Casimir, and the Garden Club have worked on the tree lighting usually scheduled for the first Saturday in December. Due to COVID, the Board discussed not having the group gathering for the tree lighting event with Santa. Mike Casimir said that the maintenance group will still put up the lights and the Christmas houses.Mike reported that Fire Chief Bennington agreed to provide a firetruck for a parade and Santa and Mrs. Clause decided that they would willing to part of that parade.The Board discussed installing a Santa Mailbox near the Christmas house display for kids to drop off their letters to Santa.

Committee to research Zoom type meetingsMichael Dorne would like a committee to research what options there are to provide Zoom type meetings. The pur-pose is to investigate the different platforms and provide updates on new features available. Christine Cooney said that she is opposed to any electronic meeting platform because you cannot control recording or video. Therefore she said she would not set-up the requested committee. Steve Grapp reported that he has software that allows the recording of anything on his screen.

Kaman and Cusimano RenewalSuprena Lohrer asked if the Board wanted to renew the $700 service option plan. The plan pays for recalls, outlets, reports they send us, and their educational seminars. It defines their hourly rates, litigation rates, and flat fees. Motion 20-094 was made and passed 8-1.

Hello Everyone,

As mention in last month’s article, renewal of boat slips and outdoor storage units will take place in March. Both renewal forms are included in this edition of the PeacePipe. If you do not renew by the guidelines specified, you will lose your spot. We have a high demand for both. Reminders will be included in the Choctaw Weekly. Again, if you miss the dead-line by even one day your spot will be available to new renters via the process included in the application forms. Update on car stickers and boat stickers:

The current car stickers are valid through 2022. You will find the expiration date on the bottom of the sticker. This means that you do not need a new sticker for cars that currently have the sticker dated 2019-2022. You will need a sticker if you purchase a new car.

Boat stickers will be available mid-April. This year you will receive a sticker with “21” displayed. This sticker will replace the current sticker that has “20” displayed. The current sticker is valid through April 30th. Your 4 digit sticker will remain the same. Please note that we will require you to be current on your dues in order to obtain your boat sticker.

The sticker process for miscellaneous vehicles & kayaks will mirror the boat sticker process. Miscellaneous vehicles in-clude golf carts, ATVs, and UTVs.

Thank you,

Mike CasimirCLPOA Property Manager
