Minutes - DVLA Board Meeting 05/19/09

Minutes of the Special DVLA Board Meeting of  May 19, 2009

Board Members attending:  Barbara Hjelle, Sally Musemeche, Von Mason, Lance Cornwall, Bill King

Meeting held at Fire House.

Two landowners were in attendance.
               
Sally Musemeche, as previous vice chair, called the meeting to order at 7:04pm.

1.)  Election of Officers:
Sally Musemeche welcomed the new Board members and presented an overview of the duties of the Chair.  Existing policy has been for the Board to not go beyond legitimate DVLA matters and to limit the agenda to decisions on DVLA matters.  There is an agenda item at the end of every DVLA Board meeting for public comment and discussion; such issues can be discussed but will not be voted upon if not included in the agenda for that meeting.  The process of submitting a landowner's concern as presented by Sally Musemeche at the March board meeting was reviewed.  At this point the secretary was asked to look at minutes to verify that the Board had approved this process at a DVLA Board meeting.

Also, current Rules of the Board of Trustees are needed for everyone's DVLA book. 

Barbara Hjelle accepted the unanimous vote to be Chair for one year.  Bill King accepted the unanimous vote to be Vice Chair for one year.

2.)  Consideration of Trustee Projects:
Listing of previous trustee projects was presented by Barbara Hjelle.  These included:
     *  Weeds
     *  Burn Pile (Alan Strebeck has offered to continue managing.)
     *  Flooding
     *  Dead Trees (Cyndy Johnson offered to continue with this task.)
     *  Highway Cleanup
     *  Recycling (This is set up.)
     *  Entrance Maintenance
     *  Web Site
     *  Community Center (Sally Musemeche offered to continue managing.)
     *  Governing Documents (Barbara Hjelle offered to manage this.)
     *  Insurance Review (Mike Barker has offered to continue helping with this.)    

Assignments will be determined at the DVLA Board meeting on May 26, 2009, after consideration by each individual on the Board. 

Barbara Hjelle proposed for consideration that an extra monthly meeting be held to re-evaluate the by-laws and other guidelines. 

Other agenda items for the May 26, 2009, meeting would be the ARC Chair; the initiation of an additional monthly meeting on governing documentations; Board communications; Board assignments; Lot 22 Meadows, fence/privacy wall request; and the Lot 53, Farms, new addition request.

MOTION made by Sally Musemeche to adjourn the meeting.  Seconded by Lance Cornwall, and the motion carried.  Meeting as adjourned at 8:25 p.m.
