2016 Annual Membership MeetingDate: Thursday March 3rd. This year's meeting is one where decisions will be on the agenda that will affect all association members. When we vote, our by-laws specify that a quorum consists of members who are present. We need two thirds of a majority to pass motions. If only ten people show up, they decide for the rest of the group. Let your voice be heard, or your raised hand be seen when we vote. BylawsThe success of last year's group decision to make the language unambiguous about the late fees for association billing has been very successful. We now have very few late fees. Likewise, the domestic leaks have virtually disappeared. This was the direct result of a good group decision and the vigilance of our past Board of Trustees. Non-Participation FeeBecause we have association members who are volunteering many hours of time to keep everyone's costs low, we need to be fair about members who are unable to participate in the minimum requirement of taking two weeks for domestic pump house checks, and two weeks of irrigation startup and shutdown duty, (or more time on the domestic checks if you're uncomfortable starting up and shutting down the irrigation system). This requirement has been in the bylaws for years, but needs updating. The board is recommending a $200.00 annual charge for any member who chooses not to participate in the tasks described. Domestic Pump House - Daily Inspections and Irrigation Start Up/Shut DownThe board will provide training days this spring for any member who wants to learn the procedure for both domestic and irrigation systems. We'll decide when at the meeting. Need Help Getting to the Meeting?Contact any Board member if you need a ride or directions to the Gun Club.
