LMC Meeting Highlights
by Mike Larkin, Secretary, LMC Board of Trustees
The Ludlow Maintenance Commission (LMC) monthly
Board Meeting was held on Saturday, November 14, in
the Bayview Room at the Beach Club. All trustees participated,
with two of the trustees out of state participating by
phone and speakerphone. The Board took the following
actions:
It approved the 2010 operating and reserve budget. These
budgets were a cooperative effort by the Operations Committee
recommending expenditures from both the operating
and reserve funds as required for repairs and maintenance
of LMC facilities. The budget then was reviewed
extensively by the Finance Committee and submitted to the
LMC Board. The budget items were reviewed by the LMC
Trustees at a Board discussion session on November 5, and
then voted on at the monthly Board meeting. Several items
were reduced or eliminated prior to approval. LMC members
will have an opportunity to ratify the 2010 budgets at
a special member’s meeting that has been scheduled for
Saturday, December 12.
The Board approved the replacement of six (6) windows
in the indoor pool are. The new tempered glass windows
will replace the original non-tempered windows as a matter
of safety. In addition, glass in two Beach Club entry
doors will be replaced because the seal has broken.
Duane Wilcox, Chair of the Covenants and Regulations
(C&R) Committee, recommended Carol Reichstetter as
a new member of the C&R Committee. Her nomination
was approved.
The Board heard and approved C&R Committee recommendations
regarding LMC membership rules, Beach
Club rules, and limits on number of guests per family
member using the facilities at any one time.
Bill Clark, chair of the Architectural Committee,
reviewed progress on the review of the “Trees and Views”
regulations. The moratorium is scheduled to be lifted in
January 2010.

President’s Message
by Elizabeth Van Zonneveld, LMC President
Ludlow Maintenance Commission (LMC) Trustees,
manager Brian Belmont and Finance Chair Ian Feltham
worked long hours at the November 14 Board meeting,
reviewing the LMC Operating and Reserve Budgets to
be presented to members for ratification in December. A
number of individual line items received close scrutiny
and trimming or adjustments. In the end, the Board agreed
to present a nearly flat budget over 2009, with about a
$4.11 increase per member.
Reporting for the Long Range Plan Committee, Bill Hansen
described the process underway to tabulate responses
to the survey members received with the fall issue of
LMC’s newsletter, the Navigator. A total of 165 surveys
have been returned to date. Maybe that survey was
mislaid or overlooked at your house. It was enclosed with
the Navigator. If so, e-mail to beachclub@olympus.net
