Agenda:
1. Secretary's report
View the report from
2018 on our http://appletreepoint.blogspot.com site
2. Treasurer's report
Christine Campbell reported that we have $9,397 in our joint
beach and road account. This includes the remainder of the proceeds from the
sale of the tractor, which will be used for future beach work.
3. Road report
Discussion followed on the needs of the dirt road. 2-3"
aggregate (thickness) would be beneficial. Work done in the Spring after winter
frost would be recommended. A motion was made and passed that Al Senecal and
Chris Reed work together for a maintenance fix for the road.
4. Beach Committee report- Mike Furlong, Kit Ardell and
Chris Reed
Discussion on whether to rake the whole beach again this
summer or to let individual property owners decide if their beach needs
cottonwood removed. A motion was made that "Association funds be used to
rake the beach" It did not pass. Chris Reed, of the beach committee,
offered to put flyers in individual owners’ mail boxes to let them know
prices/rates if individually they wish to have their beach raked. Individual
owners would then contact Chris if they would like work to be done.
5. Dues Recommendations
After much discussion, it was decided to assess each
household $25 this year. Last year's dues were never collected, so households
should please send Chris Campbell (406 Appletree Point Road) $50 to cover last
year (2018) and this year (2019).
6. Old Business:
*Andy Kenney gave an Ash tree/ Emerald Ash Tree borer update.
Individual homeowners will take care of their trees. The Ash Borer has made it
into Chittenden County.
* Jeff Haig shared that electric lines will be buried by the
middle of next year for parts of the roadway.
The plans are available on the Appletree Point website.
*Doug Campbell talked to the Fire Chief for Burlington and
the last hydrant on the dirt road has a "medium" capability. With 1
mile of hose, the houses up to the end will be covered.
*The egress at the end of Cumberland Road can easily be
opened up for access as each fire truck has a chainsaw that can open up the
pathway in minutes.
*Kit Ardell will work on the Mission/Purpose statement for
our association for next year's meeting.
7. New Business
We would like to honor Ann Conlin on her recent 90th
birthday and Corinne Mietta (a long time
member) who is selling her property and donating the proceeds to charity.
8. Election of the board
Liz and Eric Miller made a motion to reinstate the present
board for another year! President: Jeff
Haig; Treasurer, Christine Campbell; Secretary, Andy Kenney; Additional Board
members-Kit Ardell, Shanta Eastman, Doug Campbell and Amanda Robbins (Reed).
The motion was passed.
Respectfully submitted,
Andy Kenney, Secretary
