Villa Run Board Meeting May 21, 2025
Meeting Minutes
Board members in attendance:
Marty Laws- President
Barb Carpenter- Secretary
Peggy Dinges- Area # 3
Steve Dunham- Groundskeeper
Dave Groeber
Opening prayer with Peggy
Introduced guest speaker – Paul Gamble
Paul thanked everyone for their patience during the rainy season. Paul stated that he had added additional fertilizer not anticipating the amount of rain that would occur.
Paul asked that residents please move dog chains prior to them mowing as the chains cause severe damage to the mowers. They will repair the Villa entrance sign once they have time and there is not a large amount of water in that area.
Interim Board member
Marty updated everyone on Phil Hackers condition. While we are unsure of how long Phil will be recovering, Bob Mitterholzer will assist with the Treasurer duties.
Street repair
Steve will take over the street repair project in Phil Hackers absence. Phil Hacker, Jill Melfi and Paul Schneider had already walked the property and identified areas that need repair. Hopefully, the repairs will begin in late June/ early July. Residents were instructed to contact Steve if they have identified a repair so he can ensure it is on the list.
Drainage update
Steve explained the drainage issue on the East side of the property and the board decided to just do minor repairs at this time in hopes to correct the issue and save money.
Board/ Management Company concerns and action needed.
Reviewed with all in attendance the concerns regarding moving to a Property Management company with Costs being a major issue. Marty Laws agreed to stay on as President if the position was a paid position. Barb Carpenter made the motion to approve the President and Vice President become paid positions immediately. Peggy Dinges 2nd motion and all in favor approved. A plea was made to the residents in attendance to step up and volunteer for the open positions on the board.
Presidents 1–3-year Plan for Villa Run
Marty would like to see more trees planted in our common area and park benches installed in strategic places throughout Villa Run where people could sit and visit and for our long-distance walkers to sit and take a break. Maybe the park benches could be a dedication in memory of someone by our residents.
More of a longer time frame goal, 3-5 years would be to see the East side of our property beyond our creek developed into something. Perhaps a dedicated dog park so people can exercise their dogs right here at home and maybe even a pavilion where families could pi. c or host a large family gathering.
Villa Run Golf Outing 2025
Save the Date! 2nd Annual Villa Run Golf outing and Picnic will be on September 24. More info will be in the upcoming newsletter.
Meeting adjourned.
