The minutes of the August Board meeting were
approved.
Playground: Installed and
completed. Basketball Hoop installed.
See letter of thanks from the board to all the
volunteers that helped.
This was a big project and without the help of
the homeowners, it would have either not happened or would have been a lot more
expensive.
Clubhouse – Small hole in one
of the windows which is being addressed.
Window frame is rotten – looking to get bids to
start replacement of club house windows.
Club house will be used for voting, same as in
past years.
Finance: Checking ~$25K,
banking ~$107K.
After looking into it, the board decided not
to get an association credit card.
Pool: Pool is now closed for the season.
This year cost for the pool with higher than
projected because the state’s Covid-19 regulations require an attendant on duty
all hours the pool was open including adult hours which in the past don’t have
a paid attendant.
Huge thank to all who contributed to the 2020
Oak Creek Pool season! We greatly
appreciate what you did to keep our pool safe and open during an exceptionally
challenging season.
