Treasurer’s Report – Steve Giacomi
As of November 9, 2022, we have $511,247.74 cash in the Operating Fund at Bank of West 1.09M in Reserve Fund. ($1,011,558.79 at Schwab and $78,215.06 at Plumas.)

Financial Statements for August and September were approved by the Financial Committee. Motion to approve passed unanimously.
Architectural Review/Homeowner Relations – Haley Packard. No submissions
Insurance Committee – Steve Giacomi
no claims at this time
still no insurance final number in, but we feel that it will only be slight increase. Would like to make a recommendation to do the insurance for 11 months so we have number in November vs December and can have accurate numbers for budgeting.
Building Committee and Special Projects– Carl Bertelsen
Fall painting and decks are completed except 117-120. That will be put off until next spring. Will be moving away from Chase painting and likely moving to Truckee Tahoe Painting—a larger company that could do the work more efficiently.
Unit 51 requests new deck to use Trex. Would eliminate staining and are fire resistant. Initial thoughts are favorable. Will go through ARC for approval. We will get cost comparisons and samples for next ARC meeting.
Improvements at Dollar House—Getting bids for redoing singular bathroom. Two large sofas5k a piece 2 big chairs, ottoman for 2K piece (6k for painting) 18K for furniture and 6K for painting. Dollar House Committee will be instructed to move forward to make purchases by end of year.
Spa Project Update: Waiting TRPA for final word on the tree as that is the preferred spot for the spa. After, we will finalize location. And then send formal letter to HOA solicitation donations
In January we will discuss what possibilities there are for them.
All boat Crafts need to be removed by Oct 15. And will be disposed. Recommending to not get blue tarps. Asking Mitch to come up with recommendation at January meeting for beach.
Grounds Committee – Terry Sarvas
Moving forward on safety and BMP work
2/3 of the work is done in rehab seawall protecting DH and pier
Tree work was completed behind units 175-190, 72-92, Dollar House and 16-20
Pool and Tennis Committee – Annie Mitchell
Tennis courts 1-3 are done
Shuffleboard Court— Aidan has been looking at shuffleboard. At Jan meeting will discuss the courts/activities on Court 6.
Budget Review – Steve Giacomi and Chuck Lanham
Reviewed the 2023 budget.
Motion to approve budget as presented passed unanimously.
Motion to approve to set assessment at $4290 a quarter passed which is approx. 6% increase. And this will allow us to contribute 250K to reserves next year.
General Manager & WMC Reports – Mitch Packard and Aidan Miles
Freeze Alarms. Liability concern that if something happens to the unit that WMC is not liable. HOA will monitor as a convenience but the HOA is not responsible for any damage to the unit. Needs to communicate with Homeowners that this is a service being provided and not to remove temp stick.
Recreation areas have been winterized.
Fall Inspections ongoing
Snow removal has begun
Ice on paths—-WMC will be putting salt out
Adjournment- President Giacomi adjourned the meeting at 12:43
