Present: Clark Ahlden, Lee Alexander, Pete Fernandes, Sharon Hecht, Susan Johnston, and Chance
Riggins. Judy Dalton attended as a guest, representing the Glenshire HOA.
Call to order: Susan called the meeting to order at 6:30 pm. The minutes of the June 16, 2021 meeting
were approved on a motion by Pete, seconded by Lee.
Treasurer’s Report: Chance provided a report for the month of July. He reported that the State has
cashed the check submitted with the corporation registration documents, so that appears to be going
through as expected.
Lake Commons Maintenance: Sharon will work with Susan to develop a plan to improve the two or
three beds most in need of an update. The work will likely be planned this year and implemented next
year. She will arrange for a tree trimmer to trim dead branches from trees around the lake and raise
the canopy of some with low-hanging branches.
Lake Maintenance: Algae and aquatic plant treatment continues as needed. Growth tends to slow
down in the hot months, so treatments will be less frequent for the rest of the year.
Website: Lee reports no activity on the site. Lee has updated the site with the new minutes.
Proposed Amendments to the Bylaws: Susan made changes to the proposed amendments as
discussed last month. She presented the new language to those attending. The amendments, as
written, were approved on a motion by Pete, seconded by Clark. A copy of the amendments approved
at this meeting is attached. The bylaws remain under further review, and we will finalize the changes
in October and send out notices to the homeowners thereafter.
Discussion with Judy Dalton: Judy Dalton was asked to give a recap of the annual meeting of the
Glenshire Homeowner’s Association (114 homes). They, too, struggle with getting members to pay the
annual assessments. And like us, much of the cleanup and maintenance work on commons areas is
done by their board members on a volunteer basis. Judy explained the various covenants that cover
the Glenshire 1, 2, 3 and 4 homes. She will send Susan a copy of the covenants that she has saved as
electronic files. The 27 homes on the lake are split between Glenshire I and 2.
Next Meeting: The next meeting will be Wednesday, August 18th, at 6:30 pm on Sharon’s property.
Respectfully submitted,
