Master Policy
Insurance presentation by Julie Ertz of Kraus Anderson Insurance.
- Insurance was sent for bidding in May. We are expecting
proposals in beginning of August. The market is currently running with a 12-18%
increase. There will be a letter going to all owners shortly that will ask
you to provide the most current mortgage information on your townhouse.
Insurance
coverage currently is: Agent -Kraus
Anderson – “All In” coverage $5000 Deductible $15,000 water/sewer deductible In need of Certificates
- call Elysia 952-707-8220 Claims - call Lori
952-707-8218 – For all claims, call the River Woods office first. For dissatisfaction with claim
response or service, call the HOA office. Each homeowner should carry an HO6
for contents/upgrades/deductible of $15,000. Julie discussed what the master policy covers property
value, liability for common areas, pool, automobiles, additional equipment,
workman’s comp, crime (association theft), directors/officers and umbrella
liability. Julie explained that River Woods has a very limited market for their
type of risk due to such cost factors as: age of structures, density of units, vast
acreage and pool. As there have been minimal claims at the present time, Julie estimated
an increase high single digit for next year. She reviewed HO6 policies, which
cover owner’s belongings, owner’s liability, improvements and betterment's vs
standard grade construction and should have loss assessment endorsement (gap
between HO6 and master policy deductibles). Current deductibles: $5,000.00 per
occurrence, except for water damage, for which the deductible is $15,000.00. Each
homeowner is responsible for purchasing their own HO6 policy. The HO6 policy
should include the contents you move in with as well as the cost of
improvements you have made to the unit beyond contractor grade material. October
1st renewal of the master policy, invoicing to be sent first week of
August. Letters to homeowners to verify information for insurance purposes will
be mailed out next week. The Board has a policy in place that the master
insurance policy is not provided to owners, rather a Certificate of Policy
Insurance will be sent to each homeowner. Please retain it for your own records.
Any questions regarding our master insurance coverage should be directed to the
HOA office and the Kraus Anderson agent as needed. Maintenance Overview:
Loren P
- Pool – how did start up go
- Asphalt – Big project in
162-213, it will be done ½ in 2019 and the other half in 2020.
- Sport Court rejuvenation –
completion by the end of this week.
- Roof replacement - we completed 4 buildings this spring. Next round
will be next spring.
- Pond treatment plan- Once level lowers, they will be treating.
- Painting and power washing- Review the facts and how it is going.
Power washing does not destroy wood siding. Rotted wood break ups when
power washed. If the wood is that rotted it is way past the time to repair.
Many comments of “look what the power washers did” – however it should be “look at all of
that rotted siding.” This process will hopefully lead to buildings that
hold their paint and repairs made timelier by owners.
- Recycling guidelines reviewed.

- Night to Unite Volunteers Needed – will be not be held -we had
1 email and three who called but never sent the email. 2020 we would like
to do this for owners – however we need people on it early. We would like
volunteers for a committee 10 plus people dividing up responsibilities and
this should begin in March. Volunteers are to send an email by January 31st,
2020 and the committee will have first meeting in March.
Q&A – Questions were asked throughout the meeting during
agenda topics. A HUGE thank you goes out to the Board and the committees for their service,
time and dedication to the Association and to continually make decisions based
on the WHOLE Association and not just one unit or area! Board positions will remain the same until the next Board meeting. Adjourn: Motion 263
