New Business: President Beth Lonnquist wrote a year end message that was read and discussed by Board members. The message is to be published on the Association website. The President presented the Board with a proposed calendar of monthly events for the year 2017. She also said she attended the NEPCO meeting and was told there is a free web site residents can go to (Spotcrime.com) for reports of crimes in the neighborhood. Everyone was told at the meeting that there will be more traffic lights installed along Jackson Creek.
Director Kevin Guy presented his plan for messaging from the Board that made proposals for members when communicating with homeowners or the media. After some discussion, the plan will be revised according to input from the Board. The main thrust of the proposal is for individual members to be sure to speak as a board member and representative of the RRRHOA with board approved talking points and to make it known when they speak it is their personal opinion and not a RRRHOA opinion. Official announcements will be through the President after approval from the Board.
