Mike reported that the Chateau was audited and is in good financial shape. Also, the Chateau will be getting new paint and carpet for floors 2,3, and 4. Their annual meeting was well attended, and new candidates were accepted onto the Board. A special meeting will be held to orient new candidates.
The Chateau’s P&E committee has been very active, and has shown some films and has more planned. They also decided to keep one half of their board for up to two years as a means of ensuring turnover. They also decided to limit the time one deposit can be on the same apartment to seven years.
Sara reported that Marcy Park also enjoyed a successful annual meeting, and that its attendance was present thanks to the active door-to-door recruitment of some of the Board members. The executive committee gained some new members and the board gained three new permanent members who are taking very active roles already. The Board is currently planning to take a retreat in January to help orient new members.
Gary reported that Marshall has a good representative number of five board members. All of the units in the building are rented out and the Board is drafting some of its important founding documents.
Gary reported that Franklin has an active Board, which is focusing right now on policy and drafting its handbook. They have developed a community building committee, which is planning parties. The board is also working with a facilitator to begin strategic planning.
6:30 p.m. The Board discussed plans to have its Annual Retreat on February 10th, all day at the Country Club
6:45 p.m. Meeting was adjourned
