Minutes of July 19, 2006 Special  Meeting

Stuart Island Airway Park Owner’s Association

Board of Trustees

Trustees in Attendance:                                                       

 

Charlene Renquist, Craig Campbell, Candy Mauseth , John Bunton and Diane Noble

 

The special meeting was  called to order by John Bunton, Co-president, at 4:50 p.m.

 

Charlene described the pending escrow from owner Pollard.  Janice of Geiser Escrow contacted Charlene to obtain the amount of Association maintenance dues/assessment owing.  The question was posed, “What are our options?” Candy described the option to submit all $480 from last bill, letting them know what is out there–if the seller pays the arrears, it’s fine.  Diane described the option to only submit the current 2006-07 dues/assessment.  The board agreed on the need to be consistent with the policy of 2006-07 being “ground zero” for consistent enforcement of the Articles of Incorporation that provide for dues/assessments, and especially since the disputed payment of arrears dues/assessments in the Cummings escrow were returned.

 

Candy made a motion to submit only current fiscal year maintenance dues/assessments of $120 to pending Pollard escrow; Diane second.  No further discussion. Motion was approved.

 

Charlene gave a very brief report on the items she has for the next newsletter: 6/16/06 meeting minutes; July 4^th celebration pics; crab/shrimp report. She asked if there is any other items we want included.  Craig asked for a reminder that the Prevost Dock yellow load/unload area be kept clear for loading/unloading only, and that the dock is restricted to boats 15 ft. or less. Diane asked if the two fundraisers could be promoted, the board adopted records policy be included.  Diane will provide “copy” for Charlene and will also send the finance report.

 

There was discussion on the draft letter going to the membership concerning the tractor/mower and  the Board’s policy statement concerning maintenance dues/assessments which was discussed at the July 5^th meeting. The final policy language was developed:

 

In accordance with our Articles of Incorporation, and in order to insure, maintain, and replace the assets of the Corporation, it is the position of the Board of Trustees that the annual maintenance dues/assessment, in an amount set periodically by the membership of the Association, is required by all property owners.

 

A vote was taken on the policy language: four in favor; one opposed.

 

Craig reported that Bruce Keithly was going to have a third party review of the John Linde legal position made by a land use attorney. This will not cost the association any money. John reported that Steve Knopp had his attorney review the Association documents and it appears to be a bonafide Association. Charlene also had a Seattle-based attorney review the documents and comment that the Association would stand up in court. Charlene commented that if you had two or more attorneys, they would likely have different opinions. Charlene reminded Craig about making copies of the insurance policies.  Charlene reported on the final draft of the letter going to the County Assessor .

 

The meeting was adjourned at 6:10 p.m.
