3. Old Business
a. Parking signs (No Parking/No overnight)
are to be ordered and installed in Spring after ground thaws. Motion to
purchase approved.
b. Street lights: It is our intention to eliminate meter rental cost (not lights). Three or four
residents are already paying for the electricity on their own meters, as
opposed to rental meters, powering some lights, according to Midwest Developer.
When all lights are changed from rental meters, owners of the resident meters
being charged for street light electricity will be reimbursed by the
Association on an annual basis. Joe Ciontea will seek a bid to reconnect lights
to resident meters.
c. Vent Replacement: Up to date at this
time. Many thanks to Don Winke for his efforts.
d. Fire Hydrants: Inspected and passed
per city requirements. Will require a more extensive inspection in one year.
Thanks to Bob Olsen for painting the Villa fire hydrants red. These hydrants
are owned by the Association, not the city of FDL.
e. Street Repair: It was necessary to
void our contract with the street repair contractor because of his inability to
do the work due to weather conditions. This issue will be readdressed in
Spring.
f.
Satellite
issue: This has been resolved, and we anticipate the dish in question to be
relocated in Spring.
g. Association Documents: Thanks to
Alyson Zierdt, our documents have been put into proper order, and copies will
be distributed to all residents.

Website/Blog Changes: some subtle changes have been made to the website. The complete and accurate set of association

Board of Directors Meeting Minutes – October 16, 2017
Meeting was called to
order at 8:00 pm
Attendance: J Ciontea,
G Meier, J. Winkler, D. Winke, J. Keenan (by phone)
Guest:
Alyson Zierdt attended by invitation so we could draw upon her professional
background and experience with organizational documents.
Compiled
Association Rules and Regulations
·
The group reviewed a document created by
the president that compiled all rules and regulations
passed by the association’s Board of Directors since Aug. 2011, as authorized
by Article V, Section 5.05 of the Association Bylaws, as well as those adopted
by Association members at Annual Meetings. Discussion followed about need for all owners
to receive a copy of the compilation, and that it be made available, along with
Association’s governing documents, on the website.
Governing
Documents Provided to Unit Owners
·
We also noted that comments received during
recent communications about satellite dish issues showed that some unit owners
were provided inaccurate and/or incomplete versions of the Association’s governing
documents by Midwest Real Estate or through realtors for selling unit owners,
when their purchases were made;
·
The Board will work to get a complete,
accurate set of documents and provide a copy to all unit owners, as well as
making them available on the Association website.
Satellite
Dish Issues
·
We reviewed the Declaration of
Condominium, Association Bylaws, and Rules and Regulations, and noted:
o
Voting by unit owners must take place in
person or by proxy at the annual or a special meeting of the Association, unless
all unit owners agree in writing to take action on a particular matter without
a meeting (Article III, Sections 3.01 & 3.03);
o
The Bylaws do not authorize an
electronic vote (by email);
o
The Bylaws give the Board “the powers
and duties necessary for the administration of the affairs of the Association
and of the Property” (Article V, Sec. 5.05);
o
The Declaration of Condominium, in
Paragraph 7, states that “No unit owner … shall install outside his unit any …
satellite dish … without the written permission of the Association Board”;
o
On July 14, 2014, the Board established this
rule giving further guidance regarding satellite dishes: “Satellite dish installations are permitted
within 4 feet of the building (in garden area), or on deck. No installation on the building roof or
attached to building sidewalls is permitted”.
·
The Board then discussed at length several
proposals recently received from Association members for rules regarding
satellite dish placement.
·
Motion by G. Meier, Seconded by D. Winke
to amend the Rules & Regulations by deleting the rule adopted on July 14,
2014 regarding satellite dish placement.
Motion passed 5 yea, 0 nay (J.
Keenan voting by phone call).
·
Motion by G. Meier, Seconded by J.
Winkler to establish the following rule;
“Satellite dish installations are
only permitted as follows: on the back of the owner’s unit within 4 feet of the
building (in the garden area); on the side of the owner’s unit (in the garden
area), not more than 6 feet forward (towards the front) of the back corner of
the unit; or on the owner’s deck. They may not be attached to the unit’s roof
or walls.”
Motion passed 5 yea, 0 nay (J.
Keenan voting by phone call).
·
The Board will draft a letter to Randy
Fochs requesting that his satellite dish be removed from the roof (and repair
the roof as needed, at his expense), as he previously agreed to do, and be relocated
following the new rule. Because of anticipated travel and the incomplete
construction behind his unit, the dish relocation may be delayed until spring.
·
Meeting adjourned at 10:38 pm

Annual Meeting of Knights Way Condo
Assn
July 18, 2017
The annual meeting was held in conjunction with the annual
picnic which we moved to the Holiday Inn, Rooms 188/189 this year.
Joe Ciontea, president, called the meeting to order
Joe introduced the current board members and new residents
that have moved in. Welcome to our neighborhood!! We are glad that
you are here!
Minutes of the previous meeting were approved
Gene Meier gave the Treasurers Report and our annual financial summary. He spoke about the frustration of communication
with various banks that are sending incomplete information with electronic condo
dues payments. Many of the banks do not identify who is the payment is
coming from. Gene does not know who paid to give them credit.
We will no longer accept the auto pay as payment unless your bank
will provide the required details. We will accept an auto CHECK (a check mailed
to the treasurer from your bank).
Gene also talked about reserves and of forecasting out for
future years.
Gene also addressed the electric meters on the Condo
lights and possibly having Alliant come to check our meters to determine a way
to save us some expenses.
Old Business
Joe addressed the following:
Tree trimming will be done in the winter when the trees are dormant
Roads inspection planned for later this summer
The front plant areas were recently trimmed.
Dryer Vent Wizard will be coming soon to inspect and clean dryer vents
New Business
Parking is restricted to the side of the street opposite the mail boxes. No
overnight parking on Somerset or Yorkshire. Be sure to advise your family
members and guests of that when they visit you.
There was discussion on No parking signs and no solicitation signs. The
conclusion was that the new board would investigate the signage
Discussion on Satellite Dishes mounted to the roof.
We came to no conclusion and the new board will address it and
communicate information with all by email.
Elections. 3 positions were open.
4 had said they would run for the positions.
Those that said they would be on the board were:
Randy Don
Jim Jean
Don, Jim and Jean were voted in for a 2 year term.
Thank you to Maggie Shea for her service the past two
years.
There will be a meeting soon to vote on President, Secretary and Treasurer.
Thank you to the board this past 2 years. We worked together well.
I think having the meeting and picnic at Holiday Inn worked out well and many
told me the same.

Garden
Factory were out and we have 5 trees that need to be trimmed. The cost

October 2014 Dryer Vent Wizard came to clean out our vents. This should be done every other year. Motion to have it done was passed. More information will be shared when we get them scheduled.
We discussed the crack repair on our streets. We agreed that we need to have it looked at and get bids. Asphalt Specialists did it last time.

Some have asked about flushing our fire hydrants. We do not need to do it because when the city flushes the ones that are close to our development, it also benefits our fire hydrants.
The annual meeting and picnic will be held at Holiday Inn on July 18th in Rooms 188 & 189. Information will be coming out on the picnic.
Meeting adjourned.

All Board Members were present
Minutes of the August Meeting were approved
Treasurers Report was given by Gene Meier. Report was approved by the board
Old Business:
Street lights were discussed.
Some are wired to condo's and condo owners are paying for the electric
bill on them. The bill should be going
to Midwest or the association.
Reminder that as of January 1, 2017, the dues will be 135.00
a month. We are hoping we can hold that
amount for a few years.
New Business:
Due to the fact that David Holmes dropped off of the Board,
new signature cards have to be made at Associated Bank. Don Winke will go to the bank with Gene to
have his name added to the account.
Gene was given the authority to change from Associated Bank

Minutes were approved
Treasurer’s Report (Gene Meier)
Current Balances
Checking:
$580
Money Market
: $10,008
Investment
Savings: $71,128
All board members were given a spread sheet. All accounts and future predictions were
discussed. In order to cover projected
expense for our Association, we discussed raising the monthly dues. This was
discussed in the treasurer’s report at our annual meeting. Periodically raising the dues is needed so we
will have the necessary funds available when needed for road repair, roof &
siding replacement. They are currently $ 125.00 a month. A motion was made to raise the dues to $
135.00 a month beginning with the payment due Jan. 1, 2017. Motion passed. We should be able to hold the $135 rate for 4
or 5 years. This would help to have the money available when we need to do
roofs or streets and other major items.
Old Business
Tree trimming done by Jimmy has been completed
There are some other trees that need trimming and will be
done in the winter when it is the best time without hurting the tree. Joe had Larry form the Garten Factory come
out and check them.
We had considered having all gutters checked for correct
pitch but the high cost is not a responsible expense. We will contract to have the
identified repairs completed as needed.
Lawn Care: Jimmy asked if we would like to limit the bagging when
cutting the lawns and save some expense. The discussion was that if we did that, grass
would be tracked into our homes. We did
not think that would be a good idea. No change from existing procedures.
Street light discussion, several street lights are connected
to personal power meters. We will work
with Midwest and home owners to remedy this.
Drainage at 48 & 50 Yorkshire was not properly
completed. We talked about a letter to
be sent to Bill Markee at MidWest in Oshkosh.
Pictures will also be submitted.
Status of all contracts and insurance were discussed. At this time, they are all current with no
immediate changes expected.
New Business
The board will create a journal to document the timing, cost and
service provider for all community projects and major expenses. This will be
passed from president to president and can be used to help with planning and
budgeting.
We are looking to see if anyone wants to host a fall
social. Chili dump, BBQ party or
anything anyone would like to do. Dick W.
has been diagnosed with cancer. We are
in the middle of a battery of tests and waiting to see what the treatment will
be. As much as we would like to, we can't
commit this year.
Please keep him in your prayers.

had
the city come out to re shoot the grade.
We were told, as well as Mid West

we

Villas of Knights Way Board Meeting
May 3, 2016
Winke condo
The meeting was called to
order by President Dave Holmes. All
board members were in attendance.
Jeanne and John Venturini and
Sandy Wroblewski attended the meeting to present the board with the information
on what they would like to do to their decks.

further discuss their request. The meeting continued as follows:
Secretaries report
Minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved.
Treasurers Report
Gene Meier presented the
treasurers report. Gene called to our attention that his forecast of what our
money would earn is not up to the 2% that he had anticipated. We approved
moving funds from our Money Market fund into CD’s to improve the return on our
investments.
Motion to accept the report
was approved.
Old Business
Concrete work starts the week
of May 7. They will be working from
about 4 to
weather permitting. The price to do all of them was $4,750, which
is about $2,000 more than we had originally planned. The new amount was approved April 22 via an
email vote.
Drainage issue behind the
Model condo has not been resolved. Dave
will contact Mid-West. They had not
answered his emails or phone calls.
New Business
The Board discussed the deck
request presented by our guests earlier. In addition, other similar issues have
surfaced lately such as window replacements, front doors replacement,
landscaping and use of grills by residents. We referenced our condo Declaration
and By-laws looking for guidance on how to respond to these items but we found
nothing specific to help us. So, per Article V, section 5.05 of our By-laws, the Board
created the following Rules & Regulations concerning the use of common and
limited common areas. We all agreed that we should maintain consistency on the
outside appearance on our homes.
·
Windows
and front doors must be white, if replaced. Only casement windows are allowed
but owners may upgrade to a higher quality casement window.
·
Decks
and deck railings may be replaced with a composite material but must remain a
color in the brown family. Front railings must be white and of the same current
style.
·
Landscaping—owners
are to maintain and landscape up to 4 feet around the foundation of their unit
(garden area referenced in our Declaration. Paragraph 12). If additional
landscaping beyond the 4 feet is desired, prior Board approval should be
requested.
Grills may be
stored on the owner’s deck or in the rear of your unit within the 4’ allowable
garden space adjacent to your deck.
However, grills may not be stored outside the front of your unit. If you choose to cook in your driveway or front
entryway, please return your grill to your garage after grilling. The homeowner
will be responsible for any damage to common areas resulting from the use of a
grill.
The Evergreen between the
Venturini and Wroblewski condo and the dead tree in front the Fochs’ unit will
be replaced by the condo association.
The Annual meeting will be
July 12 at 5:00 at the Winke/Streblow condo's.
The Association will furnish the meat, buns, plates, napkins and plastic
ware. The Ladies will decide what other
food we need.
The next board meeting is on
June 21 at Maggie Shea's.
Motion made and seconded to
adjourn the meeting.
