Annual Membership Meeting
Minutes of Meeting – May 3, 2010
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM at the Hope Lutheran Church. 150 members were present in person or by proxy, representing a quorum.
Park & Trails Committee Report
Stuart Jennings, Park & Trail Committee Chair, reported that a Bur Oak tree has been planted in the phase 2 park, in honor of Jim Chandler for his many years of volunteer service in maintaining that park.
Stuart, along with Ted Lange of GVLT and a group of MSU Engineering students, presented plans for continuing the trails project along McIlhattan from Augusta Dr east to Story Mill. That section of trail presents many challenges, and the engineering students have addressed alternatives as part of a class project. The first section of trail, from Augusta west to phase 3, has been designed and should be constructed in the next few months.
Design Committee Report
Les Fischer, Design Committee Chair, reviewed the building projects that have been improved over the past year. A few questions about covenants were presented from the membership. Les will be stepping down from the committee, and volunteers are needed to serve on this committee. Current committee members are Dorick Sauvageau and Will Callahan.
Treasurer's Report
The budget for the next fiscal year July 2010-June 2011 was presented by bookkeeper, Sharyn Anhalt. A motion to accept the budget was made, seconded, and approved unanimously.
Election of Directors
Joan Michlin (phase 1) and Carolyn Hopper (phase 2) were nominated and elected unanimously to the two open director positions. Bill Ranard was appointed to serve out the remaining 1 year term on the remaining open board position.
Beverly Adams volunteered to serve on the Park & Trail Committee. There were no volunteers for the Design Committee. The Board asked the membership if there was any interest in reviving the Covenants Committee; there was not. The membership also thanked Jerry Nelson and Les Fischer for their years of service.
New Business:
Carolyn Hopper asked the group for input on dogs-at-large in the phase 2 neighborhood. Dorick shared his experience in dealing with this same issue in phase 1. The only recourse is to call Bozeman Animal Control and report the problem. Animal control will tell the neighbors who reported them, and as a result Dorick reported that he had become very unpopular with the neighborhood dog owners. The board asks that all members practice responsible dog ownership – clean up after your pet, and walk your pets on a leash.
The meeting adjourned at 9pm.
