President’s Announcements: Board President Joe Marlette made the following announcements:

The POA plans to issue their Mid-Year Newsletter by the end of July.

General Manager’s Comments: POA General Manager, Winston Blazer, offered the following comments:

The Connection will no longer distribute its fourth edition free to all property owners. It will be available at kiosks throughout the Village or via home delivery if you subscribe.
POA 101 is scheduled for the Yacht Club on July 29 at 7pm. If you are interested, please make a reservation by calling the POA Office so that they can have your resource book ready for you at the meeting.
Golf 101 is scheduled for the Tanasi Clubhouse on July 30 at 9am. Please call Tanasi to make a reservation so materials will be available for you.
A brief history of Tellico Village is available on the POA website (www.tvpoa.net). Click on the tab labeled "TVPOA" and then on the "History" section.

Building Permit Activity: New permits for single-family homes and townhomes now total 26 for the year (six were approved in May). Additionally, 2 Townhouse permits have been issued. The budget for this period was 8. This is a significant improvement over 2009. Currently, 39 houses and 2 townhouses are under construction in the Village (9 in Kahite).
As of mid-June, the Village has 33 open boat slips and 2 open PWC slips (Kahite has 2 open PWC slips). It is likely that not many of the remaining slips will be rented this year. POA had budgeted for 50 open slips this year.
Financial: Revenue year-to-date was $5,353K versus a budget of $5,247K. While golf revenue continues to be lower than budgeted due to the weather earlier this year, improvement was seen in May (413 rounds played over budget), and June looks strong as well. Wellness Center memberships, new home permits and higher water/sewer revenue continue to exceed expectations. Year-to-Date Expenses were $5,780K vs. a budget of $5,654. This is largely due to timing of maintenance projects (street and parking lot paving, planned repairs of water/sewer substations, equipment maintenance) that have occurred earlier than expected. There is a significant savings in personnel costs to this point due to unfilled positions. The Village’s cash position stands at $4,635K or $183K better than budgeted.

The Board approved the sale of two POA owned lots at 111 Dudi Trail and 141 Sikwa Trail for $3,001 each. The lots had been auctioned with a $3,000 minimum.
Other Actions:

Delinquent assessment accounts stood at 732 at the end of May totaling $1.28M. This is down from 790 delinquencies at the beginning of the month. Each month, delinquent lots add about $66K to the outstanding delinquent assessment total. 447 of the delinquencies are more than 360 days. Currently, the POA owns 33 lots. There are an additional 170 in some stage of foreclosure proceedings.
There are a total of 6,730 lots in the Village. Currently, 53% of those lots have homes on them (3,570).
Last month, Doug Patterson announced that he wishes to end his contract to run food services at the Yacht Club while retaining the food services at the Toquo and Tanasi Golf Courses. POA has interviewed other contractors and has narrowed the field to two. The POA Board has authorized Winston Blazer to enter into contract negotiations. He is scheduled to report back to the Board no later than the next Board meeting. Both contractors have agreed to honor commitments for events at the Yacht Club and to interview all of the current employees.
The POA Board adopted a policy relative to POA membership list distribution. Basically, the new policy formalizes what has been the practice of the POA for a number of years. The policy states that the membership list shall only be used by the POA for purposes directly related to the operation, administration and governance of the association. Unless authorized by the policy or required by law, the list shall not be released to any member of the POA or any third party except for the purposes of communicating with members and electronic voting. Members are allowed to inspect and, in certain instances (e.g., candidates for POA Board positions), copy the list. Such requests must be made following the guidelines for records review set up by the POA.

HOA BOARD MEETING

May 10, 2010

[Note: The Tellico Village Home Owners Association meets on the second Monday of each month at 9:00AM at the Chota Rec Center. There is an Open Forum at the beginning of each Board Meeting. Any HOA Member may address issues to the Board at that time. To be placed on the Agenda, you should contact Board President Rich Planzo in advance of the meeting. The next HOA Board Meeting is on July 12.]

Membership: Through June 4, the HOA has received 1363 dues payments from memberships. This is over 99% of the 2009 year-end total.
Starting with the July 19 Welcome Coffee, the New Villagers Club and the HOA will combine their welcome orientations into a single periodic meeting. The Chairs for the new format will be Mark and Debbie Montgomery from New Villagers and Nancy Eident from the HOA. It was thought that combining these presentations was the best way to present a consistent, high quality message to Tellico Village newcomers while providing an opportunity for both organizations to work more closely together.
The HOA VP-Social, Pam Gibson, requested that the Board revisit the policy of requiring a non-refundable $20 deposit for couples participating in Dining Out events. The Board accepted her proposal that it be reduced to $10 per couple.
The HOA will host a "Meet The Candidates" forum for those running for County Mayor and General Sessions Judge. The session is schedule for July 8 from 7 to 8:30pm at the Yacht Club.
The HOA and POA Board are working jointly on a "State Of The Village" presentation. It is scheduled for September 9 from 7 to 9:30pm at the Community Church.
The HOA has begun the process to identify a slate of officers for 2011. The By-Laws call for a five person nominating committee consisting of two current Board members and three people from the general membership. From the Board, Linda Kaump (Past President) and Rick Blough (New Villagers Liaison) have been chosen. Linda will chair the nominating committee. Cathy DeBoer, Jim Lane and Mike Murphy have agreed to serve on the committee. If you are interested in serving on the HOA Board next year, please contact one of these individuals.

[Note: The Home Owners Association holds four general membership meetings each year during the second month of each quarter at the Yacht Club. All HOA members are encouraged to attend. The next HOA General Meeting is scheduled for 8/12 at 7PM.]
