2012-04-16 Minutes Letter Agenda Annual Meeting
April 16, 2012
The Annual Homeowners Meeting was held on Monday, April 16, 2012 at the Kalssen Center located in
the Tinley Park Village Hall.
In attendance were 19 homeowners. This is the best turnout of Homeowners at the annual meeting. The
Board Thanks every homeowner who came out to attend this meeting. The Board works hard all year
and appreciates seeing that homeowners are interested in this Association.
The meeting was called to order by President Ed Dineen at 7:10 pm.
Bruce Fredrick recapped the 2011 Actual Budget and explained the reason the budget was under what
was initially estimated is due to not replacing the roofs. Byrne Johnson (roofing company) has inspected
the roofs on all the buildings, repaired what needed repaired and will continue to inspect the roofs of all
our buildings for the next two years. Their professional opinion was/is that we can extend having to
begin replacing roofs for another two to three years. Thus allowing the association to build up our
Capital Reserves.
Bruce Fredrick recapped the approved budget for 2012-13. The following additional projects are
scheduled to be completed: Driveway repair/resealing; Porch Railing repairs (not painting); Common
Area Grading; Audit by an outside Auditor of the Ashford Manor West Phase III Books and Records;
Attorney review of By Laws/Amendments, Rules and Regulations with the possibility of
revising/clarifying contradicting sections; Annual Roof Inspections.

Annual Homeowner Meeting Minutes
Kathie Gudauskas announced the results of the homeowner votes on whether or not to amend the
current By Laws to allow leasing of units. A total of 75% of the 60 Homeowners (45) is required for a
vote to be effective. 48 votes were received with 21 in favor and 27 not in favor. The By Laws
amendment to allow leasing of units will NOT occur.
Kathie Gudauskas asked if any homeowners did not complete the information questionnaire to please
do so. These are being collected to ensure we have correct information for each homeowner and to
gather Property Tax Assessed Values to ensure no homeowner is being over assessed. If this is the case,
we, as a group have a better chance applying for appeals and being accepted. Further information on
this will be forthcoming.
- A request was made to possibly revisit amending the By Laws to allow leasing later this year. It was
discussed that the pros and cons of renting should be included in the communication to the
homeowners if and when this takes place again.
- A request was submitted to inspect the vent intakes to ensure they are in good order on the buildings
- A request was submitted to research FHA Approval for units being purchased. The Board will research
this and has already been informed that the Association as a whole can submit for FHA Approval as a
whole. This would required the assistance of an attorney.
- A request was submitted to inspect the gutters above and around the middle (two Bedroom) units due
to improper of draining in the winter causing a build of ice on and around the porch
The Meeting was adjourned at 8:30pm.
