III Member Topics – A group of members were in attendance to present issues.

Community concerns are recorded and reviewed during regularly scheduled Board meetings.

.

• A member questioned why we were having a special meeting. It was noted by our President, that we were informed, by legal consultation, that our By-Laws did not correctly line up with settled case law, regarding open meetings. This meeting was to correct that error and re-affirm our Board decisions in an open public forum.

• One resident complained that the Board officers should not be receiving a stipend for their work. It was explained that these jobs require a lot of time and effort. The stipends amount to pennies per hour and are granted by our by-laws. It was noted that 5 Board Trustee positions will be open next year. All interested community members can volunteer for the positions, and there is nothing in the By-Laws that would prevent an elected officer from doing the work without the community granted stipend.

• Another member cited that the stipends listed in the By-Laws did not list the Webmaster position. In these days of increasing internet communications, and because of the considerable work required to maintain the website, it was deemed necessary by the Board to have a dedicated person handling this responsibility. The Board will review this and adjust if needed.

IV. New Business -
