RIVER BEND WEST BOARD MONTHLY MEETING  WEDNESDAY AUGUST 7, 2013 6:30 PM LIMESTONE LIBRARY

Board present:  Debbie Turner  Andrea Cinnamon  Bob West  Steve Devine
2 homeowners present
Meeting was called to order at 6:40pm with a motion by Debbie and seconded by Steve and all others agreed.  Erin Walker resigned from the board prior to the start of the meeting.  Bob West made a motion for Leroy Sarowatz to fill the vacancy until the next election.  Steve Devine seconded and all others agreed.
Debbie read the secretaries report.  Bob made a motion to accept and Andrea seconded and all other agreed.
Debbie read the treasurers report.  Bob made a motion to accept and Andrea seconded.  All others agreed.
Old Business:  Debbie will check with Diana again about the standing water on Pipeline
Road.  She had previously told us it would be fixed but has not been done yet.  We are still waiting for clarification from the attorney on updating the covenants.  Ann Brezinski the attorney had been out of town and states she will get back to us by 8-23 at the latest.  The Army Corp of Engineers told Debbie that no permit is needed to build a ramped area to the river as long as nothing is put into the water.   She talked with Jackie and Wayne at the Rock Island district on July 18. (309-794-5057) Debbie will again get in touch with Rod about the retention pond. The septic is done but there is no gravel at the discharge point so Steve will ask the health department if that is correct as we were told there would be gravel which would make the area much dryer.  Steve did go down and states it is fairly dry and could be mowed.  He was able to cut down most of the tall weeds and cattails.  Debbie will ask Rod and Jim Horchem to call Steve when they go down to work.  Steve asked if we could use the vacant lot on Valley View to enter the retention pond.  Debbie will get in touch with the owner after she talks with Rod to see if that would help him.  
New Business:  Since the last meeting the letter went out with the ballot to vote on the use of the Shell money.  The letter was approved by the attorney and then Bob, Erin, Debbie, Andrea, Dave and Steve approved it. We have 30 votes back so far – 110 were sent out.  That is a quorum.  They are due back by August 15. Debbie asked to be reimbursed $92.19 for light bulbs, paper, envelopes, bush and labels.  Steve made a motion and Leroy seconded.  All others agreed.  The house on the corner of River Bend and Valley View has sold(it was in foreclosure).  The other house thought to be in foreclosure is not.  The River Bend Block party is August 10 at 4pm on Valley View in the second phase.  Debbie will send out a letter to a homeowner with a trailer in the driveway.

Meeting was adjourned at 7:10pm with a motion by Bob and seconded by Debbie and all others agreed.
