  1. Audit Committee

The January through November audit was completed in December. The December audit will be completed and the report written for the January Homeowner’s meeting.

 

  1. BOD Committee for Homeowner’s Meeting and Auction Logistics

Joyce Venker said the December 21st Homeowners’ Meeting went very well as far as getting people checked in with the three different entrances, having temperatures taken, keeping track of the number of people, and having social distancing.

For the January Homeowners’ Meeting everyone will have to sign in because of the voting and ask the homeowner if they own more than one property. If so, they will need to sign in for both properties so that can be counted towards a quorum.

 

The committee of Greg Weekley, Pat Fladeland, and Joyce Venker also met with the Auction committee. There is very little in the auction shed so they recommended cancelling the auction. Items for the auction will still be picked up for next year.

A motion was made and seconded with one (1) Nay to cancel the auction for this year.

 

  1. Committee Chairs

The committee chair for Wertz Hall Decorations is UNFILLED.

 

  1. COVID-19 Policies and Status of Activities

Last month the Board decided to cancel the February dance.

A motion was made and seconded to also cancel the March 6 dance. Motion passed with two (2) Nays.

 

The one case of COVID-19 that we have in the park followed the procedures and guidelines that we have set up and it worked very well. Also we followed the procedures that we had in place for sanitizing everything. This summer we bought a fogger to help us sanitize Wertz Hall.  It worked so well that we sanitized everything in one morning.

 

  1. Mowing Fairway Experiment

Fairways number five (5) and number seventeen (17) will be used to do the study for the fairway mower. This study will be set up possibly in the next week. This is to let the homeowners see if they would like to have the shorter fairways before it comes up for a vote at a future Homeowners’ Meeting.

 

  1. Stage Blinds, Blood Drive, and Wellness Screening

Mary Pruett gave a report on the Blinds for the Stage. Lowe’s said the blinds should be in within the next week.

 

Only six (6) people signed up to give blood for the blood drive so that will be cancelled.

Mary Pruett took over the position of organizing the Wellness Screening on January 19, 2021, at 7:00 A.M. Sign-up sheets will be put up at both post offices and on the bulletin board in Wertz Hall. She gave the oral guidelines that would be used for the screening.

A motion was made, seconded, and passed that the Board approve the oral guidelines that will be used for the Wellness Screening.

  1. Voting Time for Officer/Director Elections on Monday, January 11, 2021

Carole Buwalda talked about changing the voting hours. The official hours are in the Official By-Laws and would have to be changed by a vote of the Homeowners.

 

After some discussion, a motion was made and seconded that because of COVID-19 this year, the voting hours on Monday, January 11, 2021, should be changed to 10:00 A.M. thru 1:00 P.M. The motion passed with three (3) Nays.

 

There is also a mailbox in the office for the absentee ballots.

 

  1. Voting Logistics for Officer/Director Elections

Carole reported about the logistics for the officer/director election. Homeowners would come in three (3) doors, (kitchen, card room, and main door), have their temperatures taken, sign in, and use social distancing. A teller would be there to give them their vote. Voting would take place in the pool room where social distancing would be maintained.

Also they would be encouraged to vote and leave with no socializing.

 

  1. Voting Logistics at Annual HOM Meeting on Monday, January 18, 2021

Carole also reported on the logistics for the HOM Meeting. They would be the same as for the Officer/Director Election: coming in three (3) different doors, taking temperatures, and sign in using social distancing, and receiving their ballot(s).
