Bob Leuenberger, President/Secretary provided the following information at the meeting;

2025 has been a very productive and eventful year for our HOA.

The board appreciates your support, patience and understanding

as we have continued the derecho reconstruction process.

We have accomplished a great deal and we still have projects to complete.

 

 I want to thank all the board members for their continuing support of our LEXINGTON EAST NEIGHBORHOOD and their willingness to serve on this volunteer board.

 

I especially want to thank Pam Simpson and Victor Alexander for all the time spent on navigating all the processes of this reconstruction over the past almost five years, with legal, insurance, construction coordination and all the other behind the scenes to keep our HOA running smoothly.

 

Jason Darnell/Darnell Construction is working toward the completion of the remaining derecho repair work which is phase 2 of our insurance claim. This includes decks, screen rooms, 3 and 4 season rooms and the remaining interior work.

 

Darnell has completed derecho damage repairs on decks and screen rooms. Painting is in progress or has been completed on deck railings and screen porches at most of our buildings.

 

As of June 30, four 3 or 4 season rooms remain to be completed with approximately 39 interior projects that need to be completed.

Darnell estimates completion by the end of August.

 

Other projects that have been done:

 

Asphalt repair on some of the worst areas of driveways and parking areas.

 

Dryer vent cleaning for all 172 units.

 

D&D tree service has been trimming trees and removing more dead ash trees.

 

As construction winds down we will be repairing areas in the lawn where stored construction material has killed the grass Some are completed.

 

We are working on bids for landscaping for the fronts of the buildings.

 

Randy’s Carpets will be cleaning carpet in the common hallways of all 43 buildings. This should start this week.

 

Front Door locksets currently getting bids for this project.

 

Painting of the building front entrance doors currently getting a bid for this project.

The City of CR will at some point will start storm sewer work in preparation for next year’s phase 2 repaving project for 42nd street. The storm sewer work will involve work in the easement area and may result in the temporary closing of our entrance at 42nd street.

 

Insurance coverage and Loss assessment insurance

Regarding insurance, our monthly premium for our buildings will be renewed in July 2025 with Farm Bureau Financial Services.

The board of directors suggests that every owner contact their personal insurance agent to discuss the loss assessment coverage on their policy. Farm Bureau Financial Services, the HOA insurance carrier, strongly advises a minimum of $25,000 loss assessment insurance coverage. This coverage is very inexpensive to add or increase.

Thank you to the following volunteers who helped at the meeting with the registration table

and proxy table; Althea Bennett, Sherry Decker, Barb McMickle, Rita Klosterman and Trisha Patterson.

Thanks to Maureen Leuenberger at the refreshment table.
