LAKESIDE CROSSING HOA ANNUAL MEETING, resumed

JULY 21, 2022

The meeting was called to order by Steve Hodges at 7:05 p.m.

 25 HOA property owners were present and sufficient proxies held to establish a quorum. 

First Order of Business, Accessory Buildings or Sheds.

The movement by some homeowners to change the covenants allowing accessory buildings, or sheds, was reported on by President Hodges.  The attorney engaged by the Board to assist in preparation of an amendment to assure compliance with the bylaws confirmed we still must have 90% of the homeowners agree to change covenants.  At the annual meeting in June, when a quorum was not established, the proxies in hand objecting to such an amendment, exceeded the number required to defeat any vote, which is 10% of homeowners, automatically defeating any amendment, at 12 No’s.  Since no amendment will carry the proposal is abandoned.  There were no questions and no further discussion.

Minutes from 2021.

Melissa Strohl read minutes from 2021 meeting.  Motion to accept by Kevin Myers.  Motion carried.

Financial:

Melissa Strohl, treasurer, reviewed the 2021 budget reviewed, noted a deficit requiring the 2022 budget increase to $13,723.95.  This proposed amount covers a deficit from 2021 for mowing which increased over twice as much as 2021, ½ which has been paid and the remainder owed. The deficit is 2,623.95.

Additionally, the Board as received and paid one legal bill in the amount of $412.50 and another is expected, amount unknown. 

Balance of funds in the checking account as of June 2022 is $8,102.89.  The CD value is $31,600.93.  Total funds:  $39,703.82.

 

President Hodges explained the budget deficit is due to legal expenses required to explore the amendment, increased mowing expenses, and pond fountain damage due to wild animal damage.

Motion by Kevin Myers to accept proposed budget, carried.
