Sometimes Twice is the Charm - Budget Passed

BLMH had the second election last night. This time we did achieve a quorum and so the candidates were elected. This allowed the owners to make the decision, rather than be a board of appointees. We now have seven board members, the first time in a few years.

About 20 owners attended the meeting. We didn't repeat the presentations for the first "annual meeting" because this was a two part meeting with the second part the normal business monthly meeting. So any owner who didn't attend the September annual meeting missed those presentations.

I'm pleased that the owners decided to vote in sufficient numbers to have a valid election. Frustrating? Yes. This redo added a lot of work at a time that the association is attempting to finalize budgets, outdoor maintenance and repairs, and plan for 2018. As I stated in an earlier post, it must be wonderful to live in La-La Land; that's a magical place where people simply show up to do the work as volunteers, while the majority pays their fees and sits back. Of course, it could be worse. The vast majority of our owners are financially responsible and do pay the monthly fees in a timely manner. So we can be thankful for that. 

As part of the business meeting the proposed budget was passed. Prior to that owners were asked if they had any comments and there were none from the floor.

I've begun working on project lists, task agendas and financial plans for 2018.
