Mike Wasnorowicz asked the board if they had read the minutes from the last annual members meeting. Brian and Ty had not read those minutes. Mike Wasnorowicz tabled the minutes approval until the next board meeting to give Ty and Brian time to read those minutes.

Mike Wasnorowicz asked the board to read the by-laws and offer their interpretation of what the term of the officers of the board are as defined therein. The consensus was and it was agreed that the officers’ term should be interpreted as one year. The election of the officers was tabled until the end of the meeting in hopes that Scott Munroe could participate in that election.

Reducing the number of board members was discussed. Julie Flowerdew, Michele Adamson, Kim Beasley (by proxy) and Eileen Adamson volunteered to become board members eliminating the need to reduce the number of board members. The board will fill the vacant board position at the next meeting.

It was mentioned that there might be an issue with specific members being called from the gate to get access to the community. Currently, the Horne’s are the default name to call. Penny Horne noted that since they do not have a phone number attached to their name in the system, they were not getting any calls. It was decided to leave the system as is for now.

It was decided that the members would be sent a letter explaining that they were going to have to change their gate code within a specified period of time. This to be done to help increase the security of the community. It was also decided to shorten the length of time the gate remains open after someone opens the gate. Ty Baden volunteered to make that adjustment.

The question was asked is speeding still an issue in the community. It was noted that most of the speeding has stopped with the exception of one family that resides in the neighborhood. It was also noted that the mailman and the garbage man have been noticed speeding. The board agreed to write a letter to the post office and the Auburndale garbage department.

It was decided that Ty would look into lowering the keypad at the front gate. He also volunteered to try to restore the entry instructions on the keypad.

It was noted that the HOA currently is involved with 3 legal actions. The DBPR has not rendered a decision in the matter of the board recall from last August. There are also two members who have counter-sued the HOA for having taken them to small claims court for non-payment of fines levied on them for declaration violations. Those two cases are still pending and are awaiting one of the members to contact their lawyer to set up a meeting between the board of directors and the two suing members. The other member has contacted their lawyer and agreed to the meeting.

A discussion was started for the need to review and possibly amend the declaration. Brian noted that in order to amend the declaration, a 2/3-majority vote was needed. Mike Wasnorowicz noted that the process for amending the declaration had been worked out and that the board would begin that process by first reviewing the declaration and asking the membership for input as to what needed to be amended. The declaration was reviewed and several items were noted as possibly needing amending. The membership was asked to review the declaration before the next board meeting and come up with any other items they would like to see amended and what the amendment(s) would need to say.

Brian Starr made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Ty Baden seconded the motion. All the board members voted yes and the meeting was adjourned at 8:55PM.
