A Quorum of appointed board members was not present to conduct an official board meeting. Members present were Donna Nichols and Walter Culley. Donna was appointed as President at the transitionalmeeting and chaired the meeting and discussed the items on the agenda and reminded the homeowners that no voting would take place and it would not be considered an official meeting of the board.
Donna reported that board members Jonathan Burns and Tammy Wentworth were not available to attend due to work schedules and Von Knight resigned from the board. The remaining board members will need to appoint a replacement for Von’s position.
The minutes of the April 22, 2004 Annual Meeting were distributed and are subject to board approval at the next meeting.
Donna stated the importance of establishing the ACC (Architectural Control Committee) for reviewing and approving all exterior improvements. Previously the Buck Lake Alliance had control and authority over this committee. Walter Culley will chair the ACC and the board will appoint the committee members. Homeowners were encouraged to sign up for a committee if they had not done so at the annual meeting. The board will appoint one point person to organize and plan meetings for each committee.
