20 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JULY 2016 Bistro Committee We are all very excited about the new deli case for the Bistro. Not only will it look attractive and be much quieter than the current one, it will also eliminate Smitty's staff from loading the case each morning and unloading the case each evening. The new one locks, so all the merchandise will be safe and sound even when the Bistro is closed. Our committee lost two of its members – Chairperson Bill Taylor and Doug Smith. We are very appreciative for their years of service. I am very excited to be the new chairperson and look forward to a very exiting adventure. We now have two openings on our committee and invite anyone interested to come to our next meeting, on June 28 at 11 am. As always, we invite any of our residents to come to our meetings. ~ Jill Anderson We met on May 31. The financial statements were reviewed for the month of April, which reflected the following significant amounts: Total assets $7,649,103 including checking $475,491 and reserve assets $5,418,161. Money market and CDs totaled $1,664,940. Total liabilities were $297,112 and total equity of $1,933,830. Net income for the month is $41,541 and year to date $113,049. Front yard cost center expenses were under budget by $4,928 and Springdale cost center expenses were under budget by $292. Excess operating funds of $400,000 were recommended to be invested in short term CDs, and numerous existing Reserve CDs were recommended to be reinvested in short term CDs. Five vendor proposals were recommended for Board approval. Five homeowners and Board President Len Tavernetti, were present as guests. Chairman Noel Meyers resigned his position, but will remain on the committee. Don Fant was nominated to be next years chairman pending Board ratification. The committee wishes to thank Noel Meyers for his outstanding leadership and service for the past three years. One opening exists on the committee with two applications in process. Our next regular scheduled meeting will be June 28 at 1 pm. All homeowners are invited to attend. ~ Don Fant Finance Committee We have had standing room only at the last few committee meetings. Some of the resident's concerns were: 1. Reducing the cost of homeowner mailings. J. Mupo reported the cost of obtaining a Business Mail Permit would be nearly double what we are paying now as Four Seasons does not have sufficient volume of pre-paid mail. 2. More open time is needed for non-club billiard play. Activity Director Cindy Graves is currently working on a solution. 3. The Term Limits Group requested an update to the group's initial suggestion of term limits for committee members. Additional time is required for review as only one committee responded to the March 31 email requesting input. Should you need a temporary structure (tents, sun shades, jumpers) erected for a gathering at your home, you will need to complete form 2097 for approval. Forms are available at the Lodge's front desk. What's the rush? Speed limit on Four Seasons Circle is 30 mph and on other streets the speed limit is 25 mph. Use your turn signals and slow down. Beaumont police have the authority to issue violations. The Rules & Regulations Committee meets the second Tuesday of each month at 9 am in the conference room and all residents are invited to attend. ~ Barbara Miller Rules & Regulations committee
