RBWCA Minutes 12-2-21

There was no meeting held in December 2021

RBWCA Minutes 11-3-21

MINUTES for regular meeting 11-3-21 6:37 at Limestone Library Presiding: Tim Hauert, President. Attending: Andrea Cinnamon, Vice President, Randy Mann Treasurer, Christy Strole, Secretary, Benay McCue Homeowners: None Minutes of 10-6-21 approval: Benay moved we approve the minutes. Andrea seconded; motion carried. Treasurer’s report approval: Christy moved we approve the treasurer’s report. Benay seconded, motion carried. Public Comments: None Old Business: River lot: Should we get a survey? Or did new homeowners respond to our letter? It looks like they are no longer driving on our culvert, although we have had no response from them. The survey would cost $750 so let’s wait and see if this problem is solved. Did Tholens replace the dead tree yet? Yes and we paid $389.17 Benay: Dusty Redman is our township road guy and Mark Rogers is the County highway guy. Dusty has formally requested a review of the rip rap in front of Jason & Shelly Fritz’s. They have no money budgeted for this and no alternative proposal yet. Benay will stay on it. Jim Muhlstadt, Randy Mann and Christy went to the bank to transfer power to Randy. Almost everything is done, just some last technical issues. New Business: Little Free Library proposal by Dawn Tutt: We wonder what it would cost, who would maintain it, do we need the park district’s permission? Christy will check with Dawn for these answers. Drew Lergner’s fence approval: We voted via email to approve his fence plan. Bob Lergner’s complaint regarding signs: We already had Glenn Kramer replace broken signs in our subdivision, within the last three years. Tim will contact Dusty Redman about these signs. Christy will call Limestone Meadows and see if they’re having similar problems. Adjourn: Andrea moved that we adjourn, Randy seconded, motion carried at 7:20 pm.

RBWCA Minutes 10-6-21

AGENDA for regular meeting 10-6-21 at Limestone Library called to order at 6:32 pm Presiding: Tim Hauert, President. Attending: Jeff Souligne (Zoom), Andrea Cinnamon, Vice President, Colleen Wepprecht, Jim Muhlstadt, Treasurer, Christy Strole, Secretary Homeowners: Randy Mann Minutes of 9-1-21 approval: Benay moved we approve the minutes. Chisty seconded; motion carried. Treasurer’s report approval: Christy moved we approve the treasurer’s report. Benay seconded, motion carried. Old Business: River lot: Estes to trim trees. He called Tim one night and trimmed the next day, so it’s done. River lot: Should we get a survey? Jim Muhlstadt got us a bid from Randall Gann for $775. This would serve two purposes: being able to tell the homeowners to the east of us where our property line starts, since we don’t actually know, and knowing where to tell our landscapers to stop mowing and trimming. It’s unlikely that knowing where to stop mowing would save us enough to make the survey pay off, and maybe the homeowner would respond to a polite letter explaining that our river lot is private property, not state or county property, and that since we maintain and are liable for that land we’d prefer he not use our culvert as a driveway. If that did the trick we could save $775, which Jim says is a fair price and which will be closer to $1000 if we wait until next year. Christy will write a letter, Tim’s wife will keep an eye out to see whether the homeowner keeps driving on our culvert, and we’ll decide whether to order the survey at our next meeting. New Business: Christy moved we accept the resignation of Jim Muhlstadt, with regret and gratitude. Colleen seconded, motion carried. Christy moved we elect Randy Mann to fill out Jim’s term until February and be our treasurer. Andrea seconded, Randy agreed, motion carried. Welcome aboard, Randy and thanks for all your work and expertise, Jim. Christy will call the bank and arrange to transfer signatures from Jim to Randy. Hours for Trick or Treat will be the same as those of Limestone Township. Christy will send an email informing homeowners. One of our six decorative trees on the river lot died. Benay moved that we pay Tholens to replace that tree, somebody seconded and the motion carried. Jim gave Tim a check for Tholens. Benay mentioned a pothole on Valley View Drive. The township has already said they will fix it. One of our Yield signs is wilting along Pipeline road, Tim will talk to Dusty Redman about that and about the riprap on Jason & Shelly’s corner lot. Glen Kramer was working on that problem before Dusty was elected to replace him as township road commissioner. Adjourn: Christy moved that we adjourn, Colleen seconded, motion carried at 7:13 pm.

RBWCA Minutes 9-1-21

MINUTES for regular meeting 9-1-21 at Limestone Library Presiding: Tim Hauert, President. Attending: Jeff Souligne via Zoom, Andrea Cinnamon, Vice President, Colleen Wepprecht via Zoom, Jim Muhlstadt, Treasurer, Christy Strole, Secretary Homeowners: Randy Mann Minutes of 8-4-21 approval: Jim moved we approve the minutes. Andrea seconded; motion carried. Treasurer’s report approval: Christy moved we approve the treasurer’s report. Jim seconded, motion carried. Public Comments: None but Randy Mann is here to see if he’d like to take over Jim Muhlstadt’s position. Old Business: River lot: Estes to trim trees. Estes hasn’t gotten back to Tim, he’ll call him again. Maybe next time we should get bids for the tree trimming and brush removal. Logan could do the brush removal. River lot: Is there a camper parked on it? No but the new neighbors to the east of the river lot are using our culvert as their driveway. We could send them a letter asking them not to, but we don’t have a survey that shows us where the river lot property line ends. Maybe instead of paying Estes for trees we should pay for a survey? Jim will find out how much it will cost and let us know at the next board meeting. Tree obstructing view on 113: Tm talked to the Illinois DOT representative, who came and trimmed it, and chopped down the dead tree. Problem solved! New Business: None Adjourn: Christy moved that we adjourn, Colleen seconded, motion carried at 7:07 pm.

RBWCA Minutes 8-4-21

MINUTES for regular meeting 8-4-21 at Limestone Library Presiding: Tim Hauert, President. Attending: Andrea Cinnamon, Vice President, Colleen Wepprecht, Benay McCue, Christy Strole, Secretary Homeowners: None in person or via zoom Minutes of 7-7-21: Benay moved, Colleen seconded we approve minutes. Motion carried. Treasurer’s report: Christy moved we approve, Benay seconded. Motion carried. Public Comments: There were none. Zumwalts called Christy to ask about radon gas and arranged to be here tonight but did not show. Carol Ringler arranged to Zoom but did not show. Old Business: All dues are paid! River lot: Christy made a motion that we have Estes trim up the trees at the river lot so we can see the water, with the $1000 of budget we have left for this purpose. Colleen seconded; motion carried. Tim will talk to Estes. Is there a camper on our river lot? Tim will go look. Colleen mentioned a tree that makes it hard to see when pulling out from our main entrance to go east into town. We’ll all look at that before then next meeting. It’s on Belva Stelk’s property. New Business: Approval of Fence for Dave Clark: Christy made a motion to approve the fence as described in the information Dave sent us. Tim worries that since he’s doing it himself, he won’t have the guidance of a contractor. Colleen said when she put in a fence at their previous house, the county inspected daily, so it’ll be okay. Benay seconded, motion carried. Clarification: The Park District maintains the park but we pay DuFrain to mow it. Someone broke into a squad car in the subdivision south of us last night. Christy made a motion to adjourn. Colleen seconded; motion carried at 6:55.

RBWCA Minutes 7-7-21

MINUTES for regular meeting 7-7-21 at Limestone Library Presiding: Tim Hauert, President. Attending: Jeff Souligne via Zoom, Andrea Cinnamon, Vice President, Colleen Wepprecht via Zoom, Jim Muhlstadt, Treasurer, and Christy Strole, Secretary Homeowners: Randy Mann Minutes of 6-2-21 approval: Jim moved, Andrea seconded. Motion carried Treasurer’s report approval: Jim moved, Christy seconded. Motion carried Public Comments: none. Old Business: One outstanding dues payment: Last month we asked for a copy of their canceled check, which was not received, so another letter was sent 6-8-21. We will send another letter tomorrow. River lot: Clearing the brush: Larry Hinton sent a nice note, Benay wonders about one tree that’s knocked over. Should we have Estes come trim the trees so we can see the river under them? Let’s wait until we get a bill from O’Connor for the clearing of the brush and see if we have enough left of our $2500 budget to pay Estes $1500 for tree trimming. River lot: Stopping the dumper seems to have worked. Garage Sale: Briarcliff’s sales were the same day, it was very hot, we had a poor showing. New Business: Kathleen Buchmeier says weeds from park come to her yard. The park district recently treated the park for weeds. They mow the park. Andrea will call them to make sure we know what they do. Christy will email Mrs. Buchmeier. Radon: Deb Turner heard about radon at a HOA meeting in 2008 and didn’t test her house or have it mitigates. Now she has lung cancer, and the tumor that seems to be five years old, so she is having her radon mitigated now. Several other people have had their radon mitigated recently. We’ll send out a notice about radon with the invitation to August’s meeting. Adjourn: Christy moved, Andrea seconded. Motion carried. Time: 7:04 pm
