March 2017 HOLA Minutes
2. Treasurer’s Report: Jeff Zapolsky approved as presented.
We have sufficient funds in the bank. Collections are improving, in part due to the initial success of using Attorney Paul Mills as our collection agent. Also, the increased availability of email addresses for sending reminder notices has helped. Snowplowing and sanding has reached budget level. Administration Expenses are predicted to go over budget by year end due to the website redesign and legal fees. See report

4. ROAD COMMISSIONERS REPORT accepted as presented on MARCH 25, 2017
The H.O.L.A. roads were posted on March 6, 2017 due to an unseasonably warm spell. This warm spell melted a lot of snow and created a muddy mess on most of our roads.
I was apprised by one of our snowplow drivers there are a few driveways within H.O.L.A. that have the snow plowed out of said driveways, pushed across the road, compressed by the plow, and left encroaching three to four feet into the roadway. This will be addressed by the board.
The crushed shale that we put down at several locations last summer seems to be holding up very well and we will continue to use it for our upcoming spring, summer and fall work.

As you can see from the above numbers, Burgess has exceeded the $40,000 yearly cap as per the contract. The bill from March 7, 2017 to March 23, 2017 currently has not been paid and will be discussed at the Board meeting on March 25, 2017. It should be noted that the five year contract of $200,000, cannot and will not be exceeded. Dave A. will let Burgess know that the billed overage will be held until next year and will be paid if we do not exceed the $40,000 during the season. Dave Arthurs, H.O.L.A Road Commissioner.
