5) New Business

b) Entrance sign landscaping. Clair asked for volunteers to redo the brick edging and replace the old rock. There were three volunteers and a date to do this will be decided later.
6) Voting Board of Directors – Open Treasurer and Secretary positions
a) Nominations from the floor – none
b) Voting, ballots counted.
c) Results: Diane Uhll elected treasurer for two-year term; Clair Johnson elected secretary for one-year term.
7) Appointment of Committees, including Architectural Committee (AC) and Nominating Committee for next Annual Meeting. Curtis Uhll volunteered to be on AC again this year.
8) Open Forum:
a) Discussion again regarding amending by-laws to allow for sheds. Amending the By-laws requires agreement of 75% or 153 homeowners. Peter Bishop, VP, suggested it might be better to ask residents to change the 75% requirement than just change individual items, i.e., sheds and above ground pools. By-laws automatically renew every ten years.
b) Annual assessment ($50) discussed as to where funds are budgeted.
c) Discussion regarding community activities such as National Night Out. This requires some expense and volunteers. The Board will look into having one in 2024.
9) Attendance Prize Drawing – resident won $25 Walmart gift card.
10) Motion made to adjourn, seconded, and passed majority of hands.
Respectfully Submitted,
Clair Johnson
Secretary
