Ken,
The process used by the county involves putting names on the county general election ballot for November. We have missed all those timelines and honestly I believe we are so small keeping our selection of board members integral to our community seems a more appropriate course of action. It is a little rushed as we are behind the process. I am certainly not try to exclude anyone which is why we tried to get the notice out so early. I also am not able to create policy without the boards input which is why this needs to be discussed at. A meeting. If we as a board adopt an election policy that is how we will proceed in the future. Additionally if we decide to wait to hold our elections that must also be a group decision. I do know we need to elect new members and we have a method that has been used in the past. I hope to make the process better, but that will only happen ?at a meeting in front of our community. Unfortunately this forum is strictly to put out information and is not authorized for any other purpose. If an individual will not be present at a board meeting they can always email one or all the board with there concerns and it can be on the agenda for discussion.?

Matthew, thanks for the quick reply. To
me it seems perhaps a little unnecessarily rushed. What exactly
does "comply with the county" mean? Does it mean specific dates or
specific time periods? Would another two weeks or another month
matter to the county? After all one seat on the Board was vacant
for years.
In an HOA I'm familiar with, the
candidates "toss their hat in the ring" by publishing a statement
as to why they are running in the newsletter. This email list
could serve the same function as that newsletter. They also do a
live question and answer before the vote. All of that might be too
complicated for this small district, but if we at least knew who
was running and why before the meeting where the vote was taken,
then perhaps there could be a plan to make the vote more inclusive
than exclusive.

Ken,
Yes the new board members will be elected on the 3rd. I am
not opposed to doing a vote by proxy for those that cant
attend however only one vote per property. We are also working
on a policy that outlines our procedures for the future, but
need to meet to discuss?and present to the community. We just
need to fill the seats that are vacating ASAP in order to
comply with the county. I would prefer to only have
individuals vote in person, especially as we will not know who
wants to run for the positions until that night.

Matthew, Can you elaborate?? Will the new board members
be elected at the meeting on August 3rd, and is voting
limited to those who attend the meeting?
Thanks,
Ken

Neighbors,
We will be having a board meeting on the 3rd of August
@ 6:00 PM at Ricardo¡¯s. An agenda will be out shortly.
The biggest issue we need to address will be to elect 2
board members to fill the 2 seats that will be vacant
come November. If you are interested in serving on the
board please be present and prepared to speak to the
community. The term is 4 years. Looking forward to
seeing all of you.?
