Goose Creek Landing Homeowners Association
Minutes of Board of Directors Meeting
October 6, 2013

A meeting of the Board of Directors of the Goose Creek Landing Home Owners Association was held on October 6, 2013 Goose Creek Resort meeting room. With all board members present except Mary Ann Everett. She was absent due to obligations with homecoming at her church. One homeowner was in attendance. The meeting was called to order by Billy Keel at 1:00 pm

OLD BUSINESS
Enhancement Banquet
It has been estimated that the banquet will result in again about $14,000 with a final number pending.
The pros and cons of continuing to hold the fundraiser on major holiday weekend were discussed. The need to get more people involved and how to do this was discussed. Every year we have the same people working very hard and we would like to see more members of the community involved. It was decided to seek input from the Enhancement committee on this matter. There was some discussion as to whether there is another way to procure the needed funds instead of the fundraiser.

Enhancement Committee
A sidewalk is needed from the pool to the picnic shelter. Terry will coordinate the concrete work when the improvements to the pool house are done this fall and before the pools open in 2014. An area near the boat ramp that will allow two vehicles to pull forward will be fixed. The plan is to use enhancement funds to pay for concrete. Also the pot hole at the golf cart entrance near the boat ramp will be fixed at the same time.

The purchase of new tables for use at the pool at a cost of $2700.00 was approved. These will be standard height tables with four chairs each. They will be all composite with stainless steel hardware. They are similar to the pub height tables already at the pool. They will be picked up at the Swansboro Mullet Festival by Billy Keel and Jim Godfrey.

Park Signage
Billy has been asked a number of questions by homeowners and needed clarification so he could respond. Terry reviewed the status and provided information so the questions could be addressed. The post will be galvanized and is a 30 year product. The post will be 4X4 and painted with Enron Paint and installed in the ground with flat block and concrete. The post will be painted below the ground as well. Powder coating the post was considered but declined due to the risk of the product failing. Terry is coordinating the work and volunteers. Any expense for labor will be approved by the board. The signs with the street names should be provided by the Carteret County. Terry will verify this since the individuals he has spoken to were not clear. If we pay for these signs, the estimated cost will be around $500.00.

NEW BUSINESS

Mailboxes
The ongoing problem with the poor condition of the mailboxes was discussed. The options of replacing the mailbox units or building a shelter over the existing boxes were discussed. Janie said the main reason the mail is wet is because loading the mail in the postal worker lays the mail on top of the boxes while it is raining. Jimmy is going to look into the cost of building a shelter. The general consensus was that the mail boxes could not be repaired and would eventually need to be replaced. If we replace the boxes it was suggested that we find out if we need all of the boxes since only a few are used by permanent residents.

Picnic tables
Jim Godfrey will be looking into repair or replacing the wooden picnic tables. Some near shelter have already been disposed of by Jimmy Broughton. The remaining ones will be accessed. If they are not safe they will be disposed.

Walkway @ boat ramp
The middle walkway at boat ramp needs to be repaired. Terry had some ideas that he and others had discussed. The idea is to basically repair it similar to the campground sea wall in the boat ramp area. Terry will give more details in the next BD meeting.

General Discussion
The budget was reviewed as a measure to assure that we are spending conservatively and in line with budget.

Loud Music in Golf Carts and within some residences is too loud. The bottom line is that all homeowners are responsible for what goes in their home and on their golf carts, much like cleaning up behind their pets.
The status of properties that need to be cleaned up was discussed. Billy and Janie are working directly with these individuals.
The properties in foreclosure and the collection of unpaid dues were discussed. Liens are will be placed as appropriate.

The next meeting of the board was not scheduled.

The meeting adjourned at 3:15pm.

Minutes were recorded by Van Parrish and transcribed for submittal by Mary Ann Everett.

Respectfully submitted,

Goose Creek Landing Homeowners Association
Minutes of Board of Directors Meeting
June 22, 2013

A meeting of the Board of Directors of the Goose Creek Landing Home Owners Association was held on June 22, 2013 at the residence of Janie Bushkar, managing agent. With all board members present the meeting was called to order by Billy Keel at 9:00 am.
The minutes of the June 1, 2013 meeting were read and approved. They will be revised to omit the vote count of the election prior to posting on the website and bulletin board.

OLD BUSINESS
Enhancement Banquet
Terry Andrews provided on update on the Enhancement Banquet which will be held Saturday, August 31, 2013. Thus far two pigs have been donated. A total of four will be needed. Barbeques Boston Butt will also be served. Ticket sales have started and guest tickets will be available for $20.00. These tickets do not include an entry in the reverse drawing. The choice of prizes was discussed and the committee is aware that the home owners prefer smaller, more “beachy†art work which can be better utilized in their homes. Linda Sanders is responsible for finance and planning for and serving side items. Earl Bunting and James Taylor will help with cooking. Jimmy Broughton will be responsible for arranging the point of entry and the check in of ticket holders. Terry will handle the actual drawing.

Enhancement Committee
The horseshoe pit will be removed within the next couple of weeks. A new, safer pit will be constructed behind the basketball goal. A drawing of the proposed pit was provided to all board members via email prior to the meeting. The plan also includes the addition of bench for seating. A motion to approve the plan was made by Jimmy Broughton and seconded by James Godfrey. The motion was approved unanimously.

Prior to the meeting all board members were provided with a drawing of the façade changes proposed for the pool house. The work will include painting the pool house a teal/aqua color with a white roof and the construction of an A-Frame roof structure supported by white columns extending from the building over the entry to the restrooms. The building will be painted with a marine grade paint that can better withstand the waterfront elements. The roof will be funded in part by enhancement funds and in part by maintenance funds from the HOA. The work is expected to begin in the spring 2014 and is expected to cost approximately $7000 if completed with volunteer labor. James Godfrey made a motion to approve the plan. The motions was seconded by Vann Parrish and passed unanimously by all members. Prior to any construction there will be further investigation of the HOA liability for volunteer labor and the possibility of obtaining additional insurance coverage specific for volunteers.

Janie has received complaints about the lack of lighting along the pier beyond the fish cleaning station. Terry is aware of this and has some additional lighting ordered. This problem should be resolved by the end of July.

Park Signage
Proposals have been received from Newton Signs and Brush Stroke Signs for replacement and or refurbishment of all street and stop signs in the park. The proposals will be attached to the minutes for the record. A cost of $6365 to refurbish the existing signs that are not even reflective was thought to be exorbitant. Terry Andrews has developed a subdivision and has some ideas for getting the signage replaced more cost effectively. He will have some options available for the Boards review in the coming weeks. A decision will be made after all options are reviewed.

NEW BUSINESS

Memorial Day Party
Homeowners Steve and Fran Hamilton have asked the Board to sanction their annual party that is held at their home on Memorial Day weekend. The party has been hosted by the Hamilton’s and the Blackman’s for the past several years and they have hired John Moore as DJ. Since we already have the a holiday weekend. There was also discussion about the HOA funding an event that is held at a residence which seems more private rather than seeming more open to the entire park if held at the waterfront. Mr. Keel will discuss the concerns with the Hamilton’s. No decision was made on this matter.

Communication
Mr. Keel plans to add Janie’s email address to the website. After he assumes ownership of the website from Mr. Bunting, he will provide Mary Ann Everett and Janie Bushkar with instruction for adding information to the website.

Bylaws
The Bylaws of the HOA need to be revised to reflect the way the park and association currently operate. All board members were encouraged to review the bylaws so that they can provide input. A committee of Hugh Kennedy, James Godfrey and Vann Parrish was established to review the Bylaws and recommend changes.

Pier and Boat Ramp
A problem with displacement of the rocks at the end of the boat ramp was discussed. The ramp has been evaluated by Brooks Marine Dredging and a proposal has been received to reconfigure the angle of the ramps and does some repairs on the center divider. The proposal is not clear in that it says $20,000 for each ramp and $5,000 for the work on the divider for a total of $45,00. It also states the cost is $25,000 to repair both ramps and divider. There was discussion as to whether this is a significant problem or just an occasional issue caused by the manner in which some homeowners load their boats. Billy, Jimmy and Vann were to meet at ramp following the meeting to further discuss this issue. No other action was taken.

Rubber Bumpers
Rubber bumpers measuring 4 ft. in length will soon be placed on each post on the side of the pier where boats are docked. Linda Sanders has donated material to make 22. Jimmy Broughton is obtaining prices for materials to make 20 more from several sources. He will select the vendor based on cost and will obtain the proper mounting hardware. These will be installed by volunteer labor on an upcoming work day.

Maintenance of properties
One home that had fallen in disrepair has recently undergone some minimal improvements and does not seem to one that requires further action at this time. Another home has been unkept and has two outside buildings for an extended period of time. A letter will be sent to the homeowner putting him on notice that he has 30 days to come in compliance with the rules of Goose Creek Landing or face further action.

We have one home that is currently bank owned and is being maintained adequately. Another home that had been financed by the owner is in the process of going back to full ownership by the original owner. The costs of the association mowing the loan and all past dues HOA dues will be the responsibility of the original owner.

The next meeting of the board was not scheduled. When it is set the information will be posted on Facebook, goosecreeklanding.com and the bulletin board.

The meeting adjourned at 11:00 am.

Respectfully submitted,

Initial cost of converting pool to salt water – will pay for itself within 2-3 years and is saving us money in long term.
Bulk Head Cost – voted to spend 6900.00 originally by the time we completed cost was 7900.00

Goose Creek Landing Homeowners’ Association Annual Meeting
Call to Order: Earl Bunting, June 4, 2011 9:30AM
Recognized New Homeowner’s and welcomed them.
Old Business:
Waterfront Enhancement Banquet: improved the playground, new white vinyl fence in shelter area,
palm trees donated and planted. Pool bathroom backdoors are here; will be installed next Thursday.
Pool furniture is ordered and should be in next week. There are still things being worked on. Earl
complimented the volunteer workers on all of their efforts for the year.
Front Gate: James Taylor – gate box has space for 500 numbers; we have unlimited long distance.
Turn in your phone number and lot number. Each home is allowed two different numbers to be used.
Touch the gate pad # then enter the 3 digit lot number.
Example: #oo1 then answers your phone when it rings and press 9; hold the 9 down for a couple of
seconds.
Your second number will be a made up lot number: example #096 and #396
The made up lot numbers go up to 500.
They update and enter your numbers on Friday so if you want this done turn your phone and lot
numbers in before Friday.
Again: two numbers per household.
New Business: Ken Banks
Financial Statement – year ends March 31st
This year the GCL board will restrict 20% of the budget in reserve (Ready Reserve)
Water cost was over budget $20,000
The gate expenses are included in maintenance because of the position of the gate. It would be
interesting to see the difference in gate expenses.
Earl said there have been no additional expenses on gate.
Water conservation: Please irrigate early in the morning and late in the evening.
Current Approved Budget – for this year
The Enhancement Banquet: Paying taxes
Non exempt incomes (fundraisers) are taxable
We filed as a Regular Corporation reduced the rate to 15% instead of 30%
Earl explained the average Water bill in the county is $45.00 per month a total of $540.00 per year;
Average trash pickup $30.00 per month a total of $300.00 per year;
Taxes approximately $400.00 per year.
So we are still paying much less by paying our homeowner’s dues than we would if we paid individually.
Pool Business: It has been decided to change the pool over to salt. The salt creates its own chlorine is
June 4, 2011
very safe and is better for your skin and hair. It does not burn your eyes when you open them. The initial
cost will pay for itself in two years when compared to our chemical cost per year. Result we will be
saving a sufficient amount each summer now for chemicals.
Property Taxes:
Jim Godfrey worked very hard to get our property taxes reduced. We appreciate his efforts on this.
Possible well system to eliminate water cost because water is continuing to increase. This system could
cost approximately $75,000.000.It may be something we as homeowners may want to consider in the
near future. The assessment would be about $320.00 per household. Our returns on investing in this
would pay for the well system in two years. (The well water would primarily be used for irrigation and
boat wash downs.)
Janie: Thanked the people who volunteer to help with the vote counts .
She also thanked all homeowners for the efforts and work they do around their homes.
Immediate problem for discussion:
Speed limit: too many are breaking this rule, and the rules of the road must also be followed by golf cart
drivers.
Stickers required by GCL need to be placed on golf carts/ with lot number and boats and trailers need
the orange and silver GCL identification stickers.
Lot numbers must be placed on meter boxes in your yard.
Everyone needs to clean up after their animals, and supervise and place dogs on leash.
Use of Picnic Shelter requires a $25.00 cash deposit. You will get it back if the shelter and area of use are
properly cleaned.
Please clean trash cans periodically with Clorox to reduce odors on Sundays and Mondays.
Place trash in your cans in plastic bags.
Discussion about 2 Amendments:
Amendment 1:
Amendment 2: Earl stated was not worded correctly. Jim Godfrey stated this amendment is written to
protect the absentee voting. Terry talked about the value of debate and discussion about things like
this in an open forum with homeowner’s before a vote is taken, because people need to be educated
and know others opinions of the proposed amendments. Billy keel stated that everyone’s opinion is
important which the feeling of our board members.
Agenda :

agenda giving the residents information of what will be discussed at each meeting.

GCL HOA Meeting
3/26/2011
Call to order: Earl Bunting 10:00 AM
Board of Director’s Mtg. – There will be no comments from homeowners until the end.
Janie – Vote on painting of the pool- 87 in favor; 106 not in favor
Are there any volunteers to obtain certification of regulations to care for the pool? (EARL)
Gov’t continues to tighten regulations on pool.
Pool opens M ay 15 thru Sept. 15
Timmy Rhodes brought up switching the pool to salt chemicals to ease the maintenance and cost. It is
much cheaper to maintain on salt and it is not salty like the ocean. We will not have to purchase near
the chemicals, but will have the same level of sanitation. It was decided we would look into the possible
cost of switching the pool to salt before further discussion.
EARL- spoke the cleaning that had been done around the pool changed the back fence, wrapped poles in
vinyl so everything matches in white.
Doors to be installed at the rear of the pool bathrooms will cost $ 1200.00 for both including hardware.
Billy Brock has volunteered to install them.
Board walks and edging are complete.
Playground equipment so far is very nice and is being used by many. The kids have shown so much
appreciation to the people responsible for the work on the playground. They have a great job so far.
Equipment for the playground ended up being much less expensive than originally proposed because of
the efforts of a few.
The board would like to encourage all (homeowners and family members) to help be responsible for
care of the new equipment.
Timing has put a few of the enhancement wishes on hold (Tax Time)
Timmy Rhodes, with the support of many others would like to see us as a community work a little harder
to keep the dock as clean as we can with in nature’s limits. Cast netters should clean the deposits from
their nets by using the weight of the net to sweep deposits back in the water. This also will take an
effort by everyone to care.
The enhancement committee€˜s dream for the dock will remain in place just be on hold for a bit.
Terry Andrews updated us on what is entailed in this dream: however we will remain conservative
financially.
1. Enlargement of the end of dock with a shelter to escape sun or bad weather
2. Would like to add a couple of sinks and hoses closer to the end of the dock
There are some that are still researching for a solution to turning off the water during the winter at
the fish cleaning station. Mary Bryan suggested pumping water from sound during this time might be a
more inexpensive solution. Salt water doesn’t matter just to clean fish. Topper had suggested it could
work and could have a timer if needed. Topper (Jim Godfrey’s friend) has also suggested another way of
doing this but we need a plan and estimated cost.
Jimmy Broughton was concerned about the fence needing to clean on the 1st street. Janie updated us it
is done. Earl wants us to keep that area clean!
There is concern to know where all the cutoff valves are. Jimmy would like a drawing of water lines and
shut-offs. Earl stated we do know where they all are. He also stated, if you are digging on any property
in here and bust a water line, you will be responsible for repairing it and paying for it.
It was brought to the attention of the Board that the cut off valves are old and need replacing. They
show their age by leaking. Please do not turn the valve too far when cutting it on and off. Turn it only
to where it needs to go. GCLHOA needs to know if your cut-off valve needs replacing.
All homeowners please check your cut-off valves for water and let the board know if yours needs
replacing.
Earl: WATER -COST has escalated over the past year, however it is up in cost everywhere throughout
the county and adjoining counties. This is due to many things such as new water plant treatment
facility etc; and is still being investigated. The GCL Board made a decision to go with bulk water
instead of metered water because it is cheaper that way and is still believed to be cheaper that
way.(approximately ½ the cost of metered water.) it is concluded that we better monitor our water
usage and continue to research ways to save money and continue to irrigate and boat wash.
Port-a john: Some residents want the pool bathrooms open on the backdoor side all the time. This will
totally eliminate the classless looking port-a -john at our water front. We will table any formal decision
about this until there is more input on the decision. Right now they will be open during pool hours and
at events held at the picnic shelter. But the reserving party is responsible for cleaning them after use at
the picnic shelter.
Fish Cleaning Station: Please throw fish off the right side of the dock! This is a rule. Please abide by the
rules. Also: always clean up the fish cleaning station when you are finished cleaning your fish, don’t just
leave it for the last person.
Phone System: The call box at the gate will hold 500 numbers, which are 2 per resident for those who
need two. UPS/FEDEX Have to have a number to get in. They are under strict orders by the company to
maintain confidentiality. If you know of a breach of this let us know and we will contact the company.
It was ask could we have more numbers by getting a new box. This is expensive. Jim Godfrey suggests
we wait until this box completely stops working before we decide on a larger box. James Taylor
informed us the lifespan is 5 years and we are way beyond that with the current box.
JANIE: We are using unlimited long distance service for onetime fee per month.
Jimmy Broughton: Will check on codes and numbers that have been mentioned being used at gate.
Auction of Properties was brought up by Ron Gordon. He is concerned about the Joint – Tendency
Agreement, does it serve us well? Is it making it hard to buy and sell lots? 1/251st property =share is the
only way we can legally exist.
Janie: We have approximately 7500 square feet. Timmy Rhodes, bank ask 2 questions; Permanent
foundation? deed of trust?
No lender will hold DMV Titles
Ron Gordon – Hard to get homeowners insurance
208 Blue Goose Lane ???????
REMINDER: RESIDENTS BAG YOUR TRASH
DO NOT DUMP OYSTER SHELLS IN WATER WHERE PEOPLE WILL WALK
Jim Godfrey made motion to not allow dumping of oyster shells.
(Tabled it)
Jim withdrew the motion.
Mary Bryan suggested waterfront enhancement committee meet. It was decided they would meet right
after this meeting.
Continuing construction at pool house
Jimmy Broughton made motion to adjourn
MBC 2nd
Meeting adjourned.
