Crosby, Laurie Bernstein, Barbara Gullion, Rich Levine, Stephanie Lowe

Meeting called to order at 7:30 P.M. Mail
was reviewed.
February minutes were reviewed
and approved as read.
Treasurer’s report was
reviewed. Copley discussed the possibility of an audit. Apparently this is not necessary
until there is $75,000 in the general fund. Our CD is coming up for renewal. As rates
are poor, Rich suggested that we do nothing until they increase. At that point, it was felt that a six
month CD would be the best purchase. Helen brought up the idea of investigating the possibility of opening
additional accounts to deal with specific areas, such as supplies. This might facilitate Association business.
REPORTS: Barbara
will follow up on police citings of sidewalk violations, as well as the conflict of our meeting schedule and that of WTPCC.
She addressed
the issue of 84 Miraloma. The neighbors are planning to file for a Discretionary Review Hearing when the
permit date expires. The deadline for filing objections is 3/31/10. Currently, there
are no permits for the decks. 53 San Jacinto plans were also mentioned.
OLD BUSINESS: Suzanne requested a plan for the MHHA triangle restoration.
Kum-Ja Halvorsen
will write an article for the newsletter re: her concerns for fellow residents. Helen
updated the Board on the flyer to recruit candidates for the Board. There are currently 5 candidates for
vacant positions. Ballots will be counted by Adriane and Donann.
Recognition of Suzanne’s tenure was discussed.
In addition to a dinner, $200 was allocated towards a gift. Laurie agreed to purchase a case of
wine.
NEW BUSINESS: It
was agreed that Dues notices be sent out after the 15th of April. By-Laws will be reviewed by
Helen and Barbara. Helen drafted an annual schedule and made up a Board roster. Laurie
felt that we should wait until new members were in attendance prior to writing up job descriptions. It
was decided that the location for monthly meetings be up to the interim Presidents. Rich offered his home
for the Annual meeting. The format for this will be the same as the previous one.
It was suggested that that
newsletters be sent out in May or June.
OTHER:
Laurie requested that some Board members meet with the Consul General and the architect of 85 Saint Elmo to make certain
that plans were being adhered to. She will contact Mark Lynch to get contact number.
Concern was expressed about the password for our website.
It was duplicated. It was agreed that a password be given only to Board members. Kate
will be asked to deal with this. Rich suggested that a new password be chosen every December and that Kate
should have her own. A discussion re: the Taraval Police Station’s website took
place. Our Association has been asked whether our information should be included on their site.
We agreed that Board Members names could be included but no other personal information.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:05 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Laurie Bernstein - Secretary
