Club use of Bayshores club house facility by Vicki Klebe and Ron LeRoy

Ron discusses his time that is used cleaning up after these various groups that use the club house. Each group was asked to give names and address of each person who regularly attends the function and was asked to make a notation as to who in their group were homeowners. Each club was presented to the Board with number of attendees, time and day of function and if a donation was made. The Bayshore Women’s Club and the Bridge Club (who are members of the American Contract Bridge League) are both non-profit organizations. After much discussion it was decided that a new application would be drawn up for non-profit organizations or businesses who want to use the club (minus the social clubs i.e. the exercise group, knitters, line dancing etc.)

M Mary Lou Morris motions to change rental fees to $50.00 for a _ day at 4 hours, $100.00 for a full day at 8 hours and $10.00 for each additional hour and also increase the cleaning deposits to $50.00 for a _ day and $150.00 for a full day.

After further discussion the above motion is withdrawn.

Max Metcalf seconds the motion. 4 yes — 2 abstain — passed.

Social & Welcoming committee plans & budget.

Ted Thurman introduces his wife Lana Thurman who has volunteered to be the head of the social/welcoming committee. At the next homeowners meeting Lana would like to give the homeowners a questionnaire to fill out to ask them what type of events they would like to see and possibly at that time get more volunteers for the committee. Prior to the next homeowners meeting Lana would like to have a 1 hour social so they can come in and have coffee and cookies and get to know their board members and fellow homeowners. A week or two prior to the Annual meeting in May Lana would like to have a 1 hour social so the homeowners can come in and meet the candidates for the new board. Lana would like to get a welcome package together in the near future to give to new homeowners that would consist of local merchant coupons and other information. Lana has requested a budget of $500.00 at this time.

Lloyd Haines has been asked to get the proper wording for the disclaimer and pass it on to Vicki.

Lawyer change? Paralegal? By Ted Thurman.

Ted Thurman has asked the Board if legal representation needs to be changed. Ted contacted the ABA for attorneys in the area who have experience in dealing with homeowners associations. Dennis Bartoldus was recommended by various sources. Ted spoke with Dennis and asked if he was willing to take on Bayshore and he said he would be glad too. Brian Haggerty, with Minor, Bandonis & Connell, has shown that he is inexperienced with homeowners associations and has a tendency to be unprepared when he has been asked to attend a scheduled meeting. Bayshore needs strong legal representation. Difference in the charges charged by Brian and Dennis is $25.00. Walt Newman, with Phoenix Rising, was introduced.

M Lloyd Haines motions to change legal representation.

Clarification.

MSP An addendum to the motion. Based on the favorable research that the president did on comparing fees, abilities and knowledge that a motion be made to change legal representation. Mary Lou Morris seconds the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

Walt Newman is introduced. Walt owns Phoenix Rising a paralegal service in Waldport. Walt would charge Bayshore $25.00 per hour to do research on such things as the C & R’s, the laws pertaining to homeowners associations, etc. He is not an attorney and does not give legal advice.

MSP Mary Lou Morris motions to have Ted Thurman write a letter to Jerry Hofstetter requesting reimbursement of $657.26 for the letter he mailed out to homeowners without Board approval and give him 30 days to respond and indicate in the letter that if we receive no response from the letter that we will proceed with legal action. Lloyd Haines seconds the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

Homeowners will continue to use their membership cards to use the pool.

MSP Mary Lou Morris motions to raise the pool pass fees for vacation rentals from $2.00 to $5.00 per day per person with a maximum charge of $25.00 per day per family and a rental receipt is needed to gain access to the pool. Max Metcalf seconds the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

Articles of Inc. 3 — 9 & Article of By-laws Article 5 — 6.

Based on an earlier discussion of the Articles of Incorporation and the By-laws it seems that these documents give the Board broad powers to do whatever they deem necessary for the quiet enjoyment of the community. The Board tabled this discussion until the corporate attorney has done some research and has given his legal opinion and all Board members have read them.

Beach Access.

This subject has been tabled until Kevin MacPhee has gathered together what the cost will be for each access to be surveyed, the clearing of each access and signage.

Penalties and fines to violators of C & R’s.

This will be given to the corporate attorney.

MSP Lloyd Haines motions to turn this over to the corporate attorney to take a look at the information given and then have him tell the Board what they can and can not do. Mary Lou Morris seconds the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

 

Letter to homeowners regarding Road District dissolution.

Homeowners have no say in how their property is affected by various county issues if it is being rented by a registered voter in Lincoln County according to Rob Bovett who is the assisitant to the County Council. Mary Lou Morris submitted a draft with modifications for the letter that will be sent out to the registered voters in Lincoln County who live in Bayshore to dissolve the Road District.
