Board of Directors |
Special Meeting 8/21/07 |
The meeting was called to order by President Don Vogel at 6:00 PM. He noted that a quorum was present and that the meeting was being taped.
Directors present were Gene Allen, Jim Davidson, Jim Hicks, Jeff Stillman, Angela Vanover, and Don Vogel. Steve Lee and Rex Stevens were absent. Steve Webb’s seat remains open.
President Vogel noted that the two items on the agenda were to elect a new Treasurer and discuss our next step with regard to the boat storage lease.
With that, he opened the floor for nominations of a Treasurer. Jeff Stillman nominated Jim Davidson. The motion was seconded by Gene Allen. There being no other nominations, Jeff Stillman moved to close nominations and was seconded by Gene Allen.
Jim Davidson was acclaimed as the new treasurer. Manager Kroeger was directed to make the necessary paperwork adjustments at the bank.
President Vogel then updated the Board on the current situation with the boat storage lease. That being that we had not submitted the high bid to the Town and the Town was obligated to award the lease to highest bid or scrap the whole program. Jeff Stillman reported what he had heard at the Town meeting regarding this issue. Since there had been talk about the Association installing a gate at the edge of its property, the Town had concern about their utility people having access to the water towers. There was also concern on the Association’s part about aggravating Association members who used the facility and that we use the Town’s road to access our maintenance area. There was discussion about gates, fences, additional Village access routes, land purchases and what exactly Flint Hill would be doing with the property.
After discussion, Jim Hicks moved for Don and Mark, and possibly other Directors to speak with Attorney Patmore and Tom Shelton. Jeff Stillman seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
Tony and Jo Bishop were present to advise the Board of aspiteful letter they had recently received in the mail. The letter assaulted their integrity and questioned their ethics on their purchase of a new home. Director Angela Vanover stated that she had received a similar letter. Three other Association members were in attendance also indicated that they had received the letter. All were upset about these letters and said several Federal agencies were investigating the legality of this mailing. Jeff Stillman made a motion that the Board make a statement, added to the September newsletter, that the Board was aware of and condemned these false and prejudicial mailings. Jim Davidson seconded the motion which passed unanimously. Manager Kroeger was directed to craft the statement and add it to the upcoming newsletter.
Gene Allen moved to adjourn. Before adjourning, President Vogel noted that he, Manager Kroeger and Jim Davidson had had a meeting earlier in the day with the county regarding the possibility of the Association purchasing county owned lots for resale in order to bring in assessments on these lots. We are to submit a proposal to the Commissioners for their September meeting. After some discussion on this topic, Jim Hicks seconded Gene Allen’s motion to adjourn. The meeting adjourned on a unanimous vote at 7:05 PM.
