Ken,
I think you would make an excellent treasure. I agree that transparency is key.
I would like to nominate Ken as treasure or second his self nomination.
Question, during the last board meeting it was stated that the current board was self appointed. Is this acceptable within the constraints of the bylaws/governing documents? Are we able to have an election out of cycle to get an official board elected?
I believe there are enough new folks to the neighborhood that have a Similar interest.?
Would love to hear everyone else¡¯s thoughts. ?
Respectfully?

In the next Road District election, I¡¯m tossing my hat in the ring for the position of Treasurer. My first goal would be to improve the financial transparency of the District. Beyond that, I would like to work with the President and Board
to produce two documents. One would be a ¡°Welcome Letter¡± that would be given to all new property owners in Fairfield Estates. That letter would cover subjects such as the history, responsibilities and goals of the Road District.
The second document would be an ¡°Operations Handbook¡± that would contain all the information needed to run the District. For example, if a pothole needed to be filled, the handbook would contain the procedure to follow and specific county
office to contact. If weeds needed to be cut or trees trimmed along Fairfield Cir, the handbook would contain information on who has done it in the past, costs, etc. The purpose of the handbook would be to remove many of the burdens from the President. Ideally,
with the handbook, anyone in the community could be President and run the District efficiently.

I encourage women to join the Board.
I¡¯m not the ideal candidate for a number of reasons. I¡¯m gone about three months in the summer and couldn¡¯t sign checks then. Also, I¡¯m probably too old for the job (will turn 80 this year) and would serve only one year. In addition, I
obviously have certain annoying personality traits. If another candidate is elected Treasurer, I promise I won¡¯t be heart broken.
Ken
