Old
Business:
Larry introduced Rhonda Doyle as being the owner of Lot
#1 and allowed her to speak to the board. She said she hadn't
given K.. permission to put a barrier across the easement road. She now has her property
for sale and said it looks tacky.
Ric asked
her if she had ever asked K.. to take down the barrier. Rhonda said no, that
she didn't want to cause any hard feelings
and that's why she brought the matter to the board. Ric said K.. would probably
remove it, if asked.
MOTION: Rhonda
made a motion: for K.. to remove the barrier.
Rex amended the motion to be: to write letters to all
parties of interest, on lots #1, #2 and #8. The letters are to go out within 10
days and ask for a response within 10 days.
Donna
seconded the motion.
Motion passed: with 6 voting in favor and 1 abstaining.
Larry
and Ron are on the checking acct signature card. Carol signed today. The bank
was waiting for Carol
to sign on, and Johnny Waller to sign off, before sending the signature card to
Oahu.
Attorney: Ron received a call from the Lacy & Jackson
firm that they will not represent us because they are no longer doing
corporate work. He also received their final bill of $540.72 and presented it
to the board.
From
Don Coons:
Road
repairs. Let's get those potholes fixed.
Paul Myers brought the emulsion and stop signs to Larry's
house with his backhoe. Ron is to get a second bid from Kelly Kaupu,
taking off the easement roads and telling him that we bought the emulsion. Ron,
Larry, Ric and Russ will tour the area Saturday morning, mark the holes and
install cold patch for now.
Committee
report. Ron was reviewing the funds spent by our previous administration. What
has he learned?
Ron said
he has been too busy with Tax Season to really get into it. He has looked
through the records. He will balance the financial statement that Karen and
Arleen gave him and email it to the board and will do the tax return next
month.
Jung
& Vassar. It's time to let them go.
We
will stay with Jung & Vassar. See later discussion.
Review
of "violation letters" we sent out a couple weeks
back. Rex wants to completely rewrite and send his version. Which one is it going
to be?
Kathy
told them they had a copy of Rex's letter attached to the agenda. Rex explained
his reasons why Don's letter is illegal.
After reading some additional information given to him by Arleen, he wanted to revise
his letter, and that was voted down.
MOTION: Rex made a motion: to send out his first
letter to replace Don's illegal letter.
Letter is to be sent out before May 1st.
Ron
seconded the motion.
Motion passed: with 4 voting in favor and 3 abstaining.
From
Larry:
Payments
to Arleen and Karen:
Karen thought she would get $2,000.00 by 4-14-08 and has
threatened to sue us over it. The board voted in the past to only pay them $500.00
and will be sticking to that decision, and wait to see what happens.
Ron presented his Treasurer's report. Our bank balance is:
$15,079.18 as of 3-31-08. Our balance in the 1 year Business CD is: $35,410.19 as of
3-28-08. He also read off the list of payables totaling approximately
$3,000.00.
MOTION: Donna made a motion: to pay the bills.
Carol seconded the motion.
Motion passed: unanimously.
New
Business:
From
Larry:
Discuss
hiring a new attorney, who can contact them, how to contact them.
MOTION: Rex proposed a standing rule: that the
President of the Association will be the only
person to contact attorneys. The board is to follow the legal
determination.
Ron
seconds the standing rule.
The
standing rule passed: unanimously. Discuss asking attorney:
Rex
had several points to be brought up to the attorney. Carol was very concerned
about how much this would cost. Rex agreed to table a motion until after
everyone has had a chance to read them and ponder them. We also will get an idea of the
cost by just asking Ron's first question.
MOTION: Ron made a motion: for Larry to send his first question
only, concerning a determination of which state statute we
fall under: 414D or 541J to an attorney. (since we didn't have one in place yet)
Carol
seconded the motion.
Motion passed: unanimously.
We
will use Ron's format for the question, and add a cover letter.
MOTION: Larry made a motion: to hire Jung &
Vassar as our Association attorneys.
Donna seconded the motion.
Motion
passed: with 6 voting for in favor and 1 abstaining.
Bylaws
re: Email voting and telephone conferencing.
Rex said no teleconferencing
or email votes according to our by-laws. Roberts rules says if it's not in our by-laws,
the answer is no. We will have to have it passed by 60% of he lot owners.
Discussion of past boards doing things and passing things
by email and teleconferencing. Ron said it was because most of the board was off
island at the time. It was decided to leave the past in the past and go forward
correctly.
Light
at gate:
Ron
bought the new light at Lowe's and Ron and Larry installed it.
Report
on cameras from Ron
Ted is refusing to supply any info on the system, and
also refusing to finish the job. He said he will box up
the equipment and return it to us. Larry received it from Ted's wife Wednesday
evening. Ted said we owe
Mike Florez $500 for digging 2 holes.
MOTION: Rex made a motion: to postpone the camera
installation until the next annual meeting.
Ric seconded the motion.

It
was decided that we will pay Mike Florez, with the stipulation that he must
fill the holes with cinder that we will supply, as suggested by Donna.
