Facebook Group

Hey everyone,

I created a facebook group as another way of capturing ideas, opinions and just for fun stuff about our community. You will need a facebook account if you don't have one which is quite easy.

Here's the link(which I hope works):

The First Meeting Non-meeting

The first association meeting just wrapped up but it was pointless for anyone but people who wanted to be on the board.  The little bit that wasn't revealed until midway through the meeting was the builder held 26 votes out of the 39 possible resident votes.  Only 17 residents votes were at the meeting so basically the builder did what he wanted.

This meant a 3 person board although this happened to follow popular vote we believe.  The only cool thing was he put 2 residents on the board out of the 3 possible with one being filled by the developer association.  Don't quote me on all the actual developer/builder stuff.  The gist is we have a majority on the board so that's good.  He just got to pick them but he based it on the statements made at the meeting.

Overall, a waste of time again unless you wanted to be on the board.  As for the board members, Marc Ramsey and Brittaney King from the resident community.  They both agree that trash/recycling is an issue so I'm guessing they will attempt to address this.

Just my 2 cents,

Fire Alarm Mystery

Hi everyone:

Hope you had a good break over the holidays. I have been meaning to ask you if you can help me identify the handle on the fire alarm outside my unit in 10851. Based on what I see the handle is not installed. However, Josh tells me that handle is there and I don't know how to use it. Please help me out and tell me where the handle is. Picture is attached.

Thanks,

Anisa

DeJaBel Cafe

Has anyone tried this new coffee shop yet? I was disappointed when I moved here that there was no comfy coffee shop within walking distance, so I hope this one's good and that it manages to stay open! Thanks, Sarah, for mentioning it.

Happy Christmas!

Dear neighbors:

Happy Christmas to all of you. And a forthcoming Happy New Year. I hope the new year will bring all of us happiness, prosperity, and success.

Best wishes,

Anisa

First Annual Meeting of Condo Assosiation

As you all may know, in January we will have our first annual meeting of condominium association to elect a new Board of Directors (3-5 people). It will be useful for all of us to read couple pages on the By Laws (second section of the blue binder that we all must have received) to familiarize ourselves with the process:

- Article 2, "Council of Unit Owners", pages 1-5
- Article 3, "Board of Directors", pages 5-12.
- Article 4, "Officers", pages 12-13
- Article 5, "Operation of the Condominium", pages 13-32

If any of you for some reason don't have the by laws, I can make a copy of these pages for you.
