FALLS RUN COMMUNITY CENTER COMMITTEE MEETING
MINUTES, FRIDAY, JUNE 27 10:30 AM
The meeting was called to order by Chairman, Jo Schmidt. Present were members Tom Bruns, Bob Gilbert, Rich Lazanov, George Malhiot, and Kurt Schaffert, and Jackie Richards. Sylvia Southwell, Armstrong Management and Ann Jones, Activities Director were also present.
Ann asked that the committee hear plans being pursued by an adjunct committee (of which Jo Schmidt was not aware) for an additional computer (approximately $3000) and media support (approximately $1000) that will come under the 2008 budget to be submitted to the FRCA Board shortly. A new computer will make it necessary to do some rearranging of the business area of the club to be dealt with if approved. She further advised that Denzil Willis is working on a proposal to be presented to the Board for a surveillance system for the indoor pool, outdoor pool, exercise room and the main gates (approximately $2500). The Community Center Committee agreed that this as a worthwhile pursuit.
Jo announced that he turned over a request for new TV’s as a budget item to Tom Bruns. Priority needs to be noted. Joe referred to an itemized list of 19 requests compiled from various sources (i.e. concierges, activities, director, management, residents) for discussion by the committee (original list attached).
Sylva distributed a copy of the Mason and Mason study to each member as a source reference for budgeting categories as to what items come under reserve (i.e. pool coping and pool heaters). She also clarified some items that are ongoing maintenance items.
After discussion it was found that four items on the list of 19 were maintenance
items: repainting of indoor pool deck; carpet stretching; repair of drywall in
men’s outside bathroom; various walls that need repair of repainting. Six items
were struck from the list as unnecessary at this time: a wireless mouse for
concierge desk, a hot cocoa machine; a larger refrigerator for the kitchen (wait
until need replacement); a PA system for the outdoor pool, an XM radio system
for audio room; new headset audio system for exercise room.
The remaining nine items were assigned to members of the committee for further study and cost estimates as well as several additional items suggested by the committee. It was noted that some of the items may come under the reserve budget (Mason&Mason).
Tom Bruns –- add new 6CD changer for the audio room.
Bob Gilbert/Jackie Richards –- purchase of new chairs for card tables (28).
