Board Priorities:
The Board addressed some of the points Craig Pryor had brought up. As to rewriting the Covenants, !00% of homeowners would have to approve a new covenant. Elizabeth gave an explanation for the Board’s actions in regards to the half way house, short term rentals, and the work on the question of chickens. Craig had also asked about park improvements. The Board explained that there had been efforts towards resurfacing the tennis court but because of funds outlay for lawsuit defense, the park improvements had to be postponed.
