Our condolences to the family and friends of<br />
Wathena Miller who passed away this month. She<br />
was a resident of the Piping Rock Condos.<br />
1. CRIMINAL ACTIVITY:<br />
There have been some break-ins to vehicles and one<br />
home in the Estates as of late. The Sheriff’s Dept.<br />
says they have a person of interest. Please keep<br />
your cars and homes locked especially at night and<br />
when you are away. An unlocked car or door is an<br />
open invitation for mischief.<br />
2. RECYCLING: Remember, our bins at the<br />
Office are only for a reasonable amount of articles<br />
as well as size and type. Furniture, bedding,<br />
appliances and other large things are supposed to be<br />
taken to the recycle center. Please do not abuse this<br />
convenience which will ruin it for everyone else. If<br />
you have to make a trip up there, so be it, don’t just<br />
drop it off here.<br />
MEETING OF THE BOARD OF<br />
DIRECTORS<br />
DOE VALLEY ASSOCIATION, INC.<br />
Monday, December <strong>12</strong> 2011<br />
5 p.m. at the <strong>Doe</strong> <strong>Valley</strong><br />
Administration Office<br />
Members present: Bob Beyerlein, Bill Hofmann,<br />
Mark Filburn, Stuart Pepper, Greg Hurt, and Ken<br />
Wilson, General Manager.<br />
Greg established a quorum of the Board of<br />
Directors and the meeting came to order.<br />
Financial Report:<br />
Patsy started the financial stating they were on<br />
target with last years and that no major changes are<br />
needed or recorded. Liability insurance was paid in<br />
the month of October; this made the Administrative<br />
section operating expenses increase for the month.<br />
Taxes were paid in November. It was also more<br />
than <strong>Doe</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> budgeted due to the repossession<br />
of property. Ken stated that <strong>Doe</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> will not<br />
repossess anymore property for the foreseeable<br />
future. Ken made it clear that it was because of the<br />
fees, charges, lawyer fees, and property taxes that<br />
we have to pay; not the fact that members are late<br />
on their assessments. When the Homeowners<br />
Association does this it is costing <strong>Doe</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> way<br />
too much, and we did not budget for that in 2011;<br />
currently, <strong>Doe</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> has over 90 lots. It will be<br />
difficult to budget for future lot expenses because<br />
we never know when the opportunity will present<br />
itself. Each case will be examined and options<br />
presented to the Board. It is a burden to have them<br />
under the Association’s wing and it is coming at a<br />
price that <strong>Doe</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> cannot sustain. Greg<br />
suggested that we re-look at the 20<strong>12</strong> budget and<br />
adjust accordingly. Patsy said that she has already<br />
adjusted the 20<strong>12</strong> budget to reflex the increase in<br />
taxes. Another suggestion was to have another<br />
auction. It may be the answer to sell some of these<br />
lots.<br />
The Property Value Assessor has been seen driving<br />
around <strong>Doe</strong> <strong>Valley</strong>, and we are not sure if property<br />
taxes will be increasing in the coming year.<br />
Bill asked a few questions on the Maintenance<br />
budget and Patsy answered them accordingly.<br />
Bob also had a few questions and Patsy answered<br />
those questions too. Bob requested an answer on<br />
why the boat and slip rentals are down for 20<strong>12</strong>.<br />
The Board was told that until Ken can confirm that<br />
there is a waiting list for members wanting a<br />
continued inside
Continued from front page<br />
boat slip we can’t project an increase.<br />
Greg asked if the increases in the rate from RECC are included<br />
into all sections of the budget; Patsy said yes. Patsy also stated<br />
that the increase in the sewer rate has been included into the 20<strong>12</strong><br />
budget also.<br />
Mark noted that the Golf Course budget was not <strong>part</strong> of our<br />
20<strong>12</strong> budget meeting and suggested that we find out what the<br />
capital expenses are going to be specifically.<br />
Bill asked about the increase in the sewer assessment, and when<br />
<strong>Doe</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> can begin to collect the fees. Patsy pointed out that<br />
the amount used by the Board at the budget meeting is wrong and<br />
it will take an increase of $3.25 per to break even in the sewer<br />
budget. Bill informed the Board that an increase in the sewers<br />
capital expenses is the main reason; plus it is costing the Association<br />
more to operate the plant. Any further increase will not be<br />
necessary unless an unforeseen emergency occurs. Greg stated<br />
that <strong>Doe</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> should not lose money on a utility and that we<br />
have to charge what is costs to run the system, all agreed. Stuart<br />
made a motion (11-<strong>12</strong>-002) to accept the financials, Greg 2nd it,<br />
Board unanimously accepted the financial report.<br />
General Manager’s Report:<br />
The Security Manager hiring process is moving forward. Greg<br />
asked about the Human Resources Policy booklet that he presented<br />
to Ken for review. Ken stated that Patsy and he were going<br />
to go over it soon and that he will be able to report back to the<br />
Board by the next regular meeting. Greg also asked Ken if he<br />
would ask the managers under each section to come up with a 5%<br />
saving plan, and present it to the Board. Greg wanted the managers<br />
to look at savings instead of spending and present it back to<br />
Ken. Ken explained the difficulty in enforcing any plan of this<br />
nature. Mark stated that any plan that is measurable can be tied<br />
to some type of monetary incentive, like the Christmas bonus.<br />
Ken expressed his concern on the difficulty of this being tracked<br />
by his staff, and the Board.<br />
<strong>Doe</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> Committee’s Reports:<br />
None at this time; Greg expresses his concern that we do not<br />
have more <strong>part</strong>icipation with our committees. The committees<br />
should help the board run <strong>Doe</strong> <strong>Valley</strong>, and in his opinion we only<br />
have a few persons interested. Ken explained that the committees<br />
report to him and that the Board sees the results of the committees<br />
in the bottom line of the financials or in the General Manager’s<br />
comments. Ken explained until he gets more information<br />
on the by-laws that he may call for a re-convening of the By-Law<br />
committee. However, he wanted to wait until he could determine<br />
the problem. In doing so, the committee could fix it before it was<br />
presented again to the members. He also stated that to change the<br />
By-Laws, <strong>Doe</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> would need to get 948 lot owners to vote to<br />
make the required 66 2/3%. The last vote did not even come<br />
close with only 681 total votes. Now this all depends on the<br />
amount authorized to vote at the time of the ballot. However, the<br />
new and the old version still require a 66 2/3% <strong>part</strong>icipation of<br />
members in good standing for any changes. Greg asked Ken to<br />
publish a page in the newsletter that showed who is on what committee.<br />
Maybe with showing the different types of committees,<br />
and showing vacancy we may get other members wanting to <strong>part</strong>icipate.<br />
Board Member Reports:<br />
The Christmas bonuses were finalized. Stuart made a motion<br />
(11-<strong>12</strong>-003) to accept the Christmas bonuses, Greg 2nd it, discussion<br />
followed. Stuart, Greg, and Mark voted Yes, Bob No, Bill<br />
Abstained. Motion carried.<br />
The Board discussed that since the General Manager’s duties<br />
and responsibilities have changed with the purchase of the lake<br />
and golf course; that it should re-look and maybe renegotiate the<br />
General Manager’s contract. Mark asked all Board members to<br />
come up with measurable and quantifiable objective for the General<br />
Manager before the meeting in January. Therefore, we can<br />
give the General Manager an evaluation on clear objectives.<br />
Mark also suggested that we publish a Board calendar; Greg<br />
thought that was an excellent idea, and will produce a format for<br />
the Board to accept before the next meeting.<br />
Bob suggested that we all email each other with some examples<br />
of the Manager’s goals and objectives.<br />
Old Business:<br />
Greg asked if the Budget reflects the new Security Manager’s<br />
position and also the golf course budget. Ken said that it does.<br />
Greg restated that the Board agreed that no more cuts to security<br />
force until we get a recommendation for the Security Manager in<br />
May 20<strong>12</strong>.<br />
Mark made a motion (11-<strong>12</strong>-004) that; Approval for employee<br />
raises be approved by the Board it was tabled in the October<br />
Board meeting to be discussed during the budget meeting; however,<br />
it was not discussed at the budget meeting. Ken wanted a<br />
better explanation as to what this meant for his own understanding.<br />
The discussion stated “as long as the General Manager stays<br />
within the budget pertaining to payroll and follows the guidelines<br />
set by the Board, merely being informed of merit raises was<br />
enough for the Board members. All Board members were in favor.<br />
Motion did not receive a second.<br />
The next item was a motion (11-<strong>12</strong>-005) made by Mark on replacement<br />
of employees, and does it need Board approval. The<br />
Board felt that the only replacements that they want to get involved<br />
in are the supervisor positions. Greg listed the positions<br />
that needs Board approval before hiring: General Manager, Golf<br />
Pro, Utilities, Marina, Swim and Tennis Club, Security, and<br />
Maintenance. The Board also felt the committee can make recommendations<br />
as to whom they have chosen and then the Board<br />
approves or disapproves that person; motion did not receive a<br />
second.<br />
Ken stated that the water tower rehab project decision time was<br />
upon us. The proposed project manager wants to know where<br />
<strong>Doe</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> stands by the end of December. Therefore, he can<br />
begin bids in January. The process starts in January and that the<br />
proposed project manager already has four other projects ahead<br />
of <strong>Doe</strong> <strong>Valley</strong>. If the Board wants to ensure that this project is<br />
completed in 20<strong>12</strong> to let him know how to proceed. Mark and<br />
Greg felt this project can be put on hold until after their January<br />
Budget meeting. Ken will try and find another project manager<br />
with the same expertise to do a comparison bid. Stuart made a<br />
motion (11-<strong>12</strong>-006) to accept this project manager and in the<br />
meantime Ken will get a comparison bid for another project manager,<br />
Bill 2nd motion, unanimously approved.<br />
New Business:<br />
Mark passed out a memorandum recommended by the Meade<br />
County Attorney to get Board members signatures authorizing<br />
that the State Police patrol <strong>Doe</strong> <strong>Valley</strong>; it will be kept at the front<br />
office.<br />
The last new item was presented by Greg. He expressed his<br />
concern on how the budget process has been approved in the past.<br />
The Board’s number one priority is the oversight of the budget<br />
and its process. Even though last year’s budget showed as being<br />
in the black; it was still off by 61% from the Board’s projection.<br />
Greg just wanted the Board members to take their time, look over<br />
the numbers, and take responsibility for the budget.<br />

From Chris Love, the <strong>Doe</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> Golf Course<br />
Superintendent:<br />
Well I guess by now we have all recovered from the holidays,<br />
and are well on our way to shedding the pounds that<br />
the holidays put on us. I’m not sure what February will<br />
bring us, as far as weather is concerned, but January was<br />
certainly a bizarre month. As I am writing this, a storm system<br />
just blew through that brought with it some tornadoes<br />
for the surrounding areas. That is definitely not normal for<br />
this time of the year, but who knows what “normal” is anymore.<br />
Nowadays, it seems that our weather is doing outrageous<br />
things more often than not.<br />
On the other hand, with this odd weather came lots of<br />
great golfing days in the month of January. It has also made<br />
it much more pleasant to be outside working. We have<br />
stayed pretty busy these last couple of months, doing everything<br />
from building tees to mowing grass. If you have been<br />
around the golf course recently, you’ve probably seen that<br />
we have started moving some dirt and shaping the areas<br />
where a few new forward tees will be built. We have been<br />
talking about it for a while now, and we finally decided<br />
where to put them, and had a few dry days to start moving<br />
some dirt. The process of building these tees will take some<br />
time, but hopefully we will have them ready to play in the<br />
early <strong>part</strong> of the golf season. We have also taken down<br />
many dead trees, and have quite a few more to go, but that’s<br />
always a work in progress around here.<br />
We have plenty of things to do to keep us busy for the rest<br />
of the off-season, but I am certain that the golfing season<br />
will be here before we know it. I hate to say it, but I am<br />
pretty sure that “winter” is eventually going to get here. I<br />
just hope it takes it easy on us. In the meantime, I would<br />
encourage you to take advantage of some of these nice days,<br />
and get out and play a round of golf. It might help you lose<br />
those last few pounds lingering from the holidays, and it is<br />
always a bonus if you can get a few rounds in during the<br />
dreary winter months.<br />
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!<br />
