OLD BUSINESS:
Spring Clean-up – The Board discuss the new signs suggested by Angie Pommier and decided to wait until the next meeting to make a final decision.
Bridge Inspection report – No update at this time. The report is pending.
CC&Rs – Vicky Mullins gave an overview of the process the committee followed. The committee reviewed all of the governing documents; read CCIOA and became familiar with the document; followed the instructions provided by the attorney; made the necessary changes so that the documents were in compliance with CCIOA to the best of the committee’s knowledge; clarified some language so there was conformity between the documents. Each document was reviewed and revised until all members were in agreement that it was finalized. The attorney advised that a new document – Rules, Regulations and Guidelines – be created. This document is composed of the Design Committee guidelines, Solar panels installation, Use of motorized vehicles within the subdivision, and Pond and other common areas usage. Pat Le Roy will contact the attorney and then hand deliver or email the documents to the attorney for her review. The committee does expect that the attorney may have some revisions. The final documents will reflect any and all changes recommended by the attorney. These will be mailed/emailed to all landowners for their review. The documents will be discussed at the Annual meeting. The CC&Rs must be approved by 51% of the lots; the Bylaws may be approved by a majority of the members in attendance in person or by proxy at the annual meeting.
After some discussion the Board has several questions for the attorney:
- Does the ballot for approval of the CC&Rs need to be notarized?
- Does New Age own the river bed? (John Dustin will attempt to contact New Age prior to asking the attorney about this).
- What is the cost to do a quiet title for the bridge, roads, right away across the bridge?
John Dustin moved that we inquire about the cost for item # 3 listed above, second by Waterman Ormsby lll. Vote to approve was unanimous.
