Summary of Voices Meeting 6/11/2024
1. Inaccuracies. How can corrections be made when candidates and board members make statements contrary to fact?
These are the suggestions: retraction in newsletter, retraction at next BOD meeting, discussion at next Voices meeting. Did I miss anything?
To me, these suggestions don’t solve the problem. A retraction must be made immediately to be effective. Otherwise the inaccuracy has an opportunity to take hold in the listener’s mind as truth.
2. Polly’s suggestions about the recording of Zoom meetings were shared. “If recordings are not used people can lie with freedom. The elected individuals need to be held accountable as do Voices members.”
Darren mentioned that he was looking into low-cost conference solutions for board meetings.
The lack of planning and budgeting for needs makes it hard to purchase adequate equipment. An updated sound system and conference setup would be budgeted if community engagement was a priority according to board goals.
3. Budget and Reserve study. There was little discussion about the fact that the final Reserve study hasn’t been presented to homeowners as required by law.
4. Returning the annual meeting to the date required by the bylaws was discussed. Hopefully the three board members in attendance will bring this up at the next BOD meeting.
