Izatys Resort Sale Update

Resort Purchase Update

Ron Zappa reported on the status of the sale of Izatys Resort to Roy Winjum. Roy will be meeting with the County Board on May 5, 2010 to present his plan for the resort. The final purchase is contingent on Roy receiving approval from the County and Township for the proposed development of a high-end RV Park, as well as, approval to expand the current sewer system from both the Village Association and the Townhome Association. Members of the Village Association met with Roy on March 16, 2010 and, after hearing his proposal, gave Roy an approval in principal regarding his plans.

Interim Lease Agreement

Jason Tollette has an interim lease agreement with the banks to operate the Izatys Resort during the 2010 season. This includes operation of the golf course, clubhouse, hotel, and marina.

Amenities

After discussion with Jason Tollette and the current and prospective owners of the resort, Zappa Management arrived at a cost estimate for the operation of the tennis courts, leisure links, hot tub and the outdoor pool for the 2010 season. It was proposed that the

1 costs be allocated among the Tollette group and both Associations. As the costs for maintaining Leisure Links is an estimate and would be difficult to monitor, the suggestion is that the Tollette group pay 100 % of that cost and the Associations split the 2010 cost of starting up, operating and shutting down the pool. After discussion, the proposal was accepted.

Tom Kraus made a motion to accept the proposal that the Association participate in the cost of the pool start up, operation and shut down, up to a limit of 40% of the cost, actual percent to be determined after a committee discussion with Izatys Townhouse Association. The motion was seconded and passed with four affirmative and one opposed.

Committee Reports

Finance Committee

Tom Krause reviewed the 1st quarter financial statements. Net income is $38,000 over budget at this time. Expenses are being controlled and the Association financials reflect the reduction in the real estate taxes and the insurance costs.

The refinancing on the Administration/Maintenance building is in process. The Venture Bank has been reviewing financials and is currently awaiting the results of the appraisal.

Ron Zappa reported on the insurance costs for 2010. This appears to be the last year that insurance costs will decline.

The 2010 real estate taxes are down about 6% due to the reduced valuation of the property.

Ron Zappa made a motion to approve the installation of 36 inch, 24 inch and 12 inch handrails in the lower bathrooms of C-1 through C-8 at an estimated cost of $2,000.00. The motion failed for lack of a second.

2 Communications Committee

The lighted sign in the reception area was discussed. Due to the many options discussed, it was recommended that the project be reviewed by the office staff and their ideas regarding the layout and what type of pictures would work best to deliver the message the Association wants to give.

Action Item – Office Staff is to develop a plan and will consider feedback. Report back at the July meeting.

Resort Manager/Property Management Report

The roofing on A1 & A2 has been completed. The claim on the D, E and F units are still being negotiated due to the fact that the management company believes that a suitable color match has not been found.

The asphalt cracks on the road by the F units, as well as, cracks through the resort have been repaired using a method that routed out the cracks and then filled them with a rubberized material that is flexible.

Tom showed photos of the damage to the road by the C units. Repairs are estimated to be around $14,500 but definitely need to be done. After discussion regarding the details of the repairs the following motion was made.
