The
Annual AGM Luncheon was another success! For the first time, we didn’t
have any leftovers. I would like to thank Audrey and JoAnn Bowman, Goldys
Moore, Mary Turner and Frankie Small for their donations and their time.
I would also like to thank the others personally who donated food, but
unfortunately I have no idea who they were. So to whomever else donated
goodies, I thank you ever so much!
Thank
you also to those who brought food to the evening social. Not a large
turnout, but such a wonderful time. Lots of laughs and good food. It
was really nice to see some faces that haven’t been seen in quite awhile.
Welcome back . . . . we missed you!
Looking
forward to the next social, June 2. See you all there!
OLD
BUSINESS:
Bob
Bowman stated that at the meeting following the Annual Meeting the Board
decided that the meeting time should be changed to the first Sunday
of the month. Several members have to work on Saturdays. Due to the
difficulties in preparing pre-Board meeting reports submissions and
financial statements in time, the first Sunday does not work very well.
Discussion followed. Meetings will be held on the third Sunday of the
month, next meeting will be June 17, 2001.
Barbara
Myers stated that at the Annual Meeting and correspondence since then
that it was mentioned that a Parliamentarian should be selected for
Scenic Estates. The newest version of Robert’s Rules of Order has been
purchased. Jackie Granger has voiced an interest in performing the parliamentarian
tasks. Laura asked what a parliamentarian would do. Barbara Myers stated
that Jackie would make a ruling on a particular issue such as whether
a motion was legal. It is not necessary that Robert’s Rules be very
stringently adhered to. Lucy Bain stated that it is important to use
it as a guiding principle. Discussion followed.
Darlene
Stoffer stated that at the last Board meeting the Board authorized John
to purchase a cutter and rake, has that been done. John stated that
LISE does not have an account with the company but Jackie has been given
the order and will cut a check and send it to the company.
Darlene
Stoffer asked about grass cutting in the lake. John stated that the
culprit is the weedeater and it is difficult to direct the cast-offs
but Kevin has been attempting to direct it elsewhere.
Darlene
Stoffer stated that the evacuation siren has not been set off because
the fire department has put a lock on their door and LISE can no longer
get to the switch for the siren. John has spoken to Aaron Rupp with
the department and is attempting to work out a solution. Discussion
followed. A solution will be worked out between the fire department
and John Graham.
(2001/5/8)
M. Darlene Stoffer 2nd Laura Mork
“ move our Board of Directors meetings to the third Sunday of the month.”
Passed.
(2001/5/9)
M. Barbara Myers 2nd “that we appoint Jackie the
Parliamentarian and adopt the most current version of Robert’s Rules
of Order.” Passed.
NEW
BUSINESS:
Barbara
Myers stated that having listened to the previous board meetings, at the
annual meeting and generally, there seems to be a lack of communication
or break down in communication in LISE. Barbara suggested it might be
a good idea if we put together a small web site to further communication
with the members. This is relatively inexpensive at $15 per month. There
could be a member response form to communicate with the membership and
there are other great ideas that could be put into place. Barbara is willing
to set the site up, it is her business and she would be willing to do
it at no cost. Barbara would be happy to show Jackie how to update the
web site to keep it up. This is food for thought. Discussion followed.
Options for domain names are lisecc and lummiislandse.
Jan
Bonaparte asked who owns the property between the road and the property
line and whose responsibility is it to mow. Dar Stoffer stated that she
has been asking John to mow the easement down Island Drive and around
Beach and Cedar to keep it looking presentable for anyone driving through
LISE. Discussion followed.
Natural
Disaster: Frankie Small submitted a written
report, as follows:
I
have spoken to Dave Harmoney [fire commissioner] and he welcomes having
somebody from Scenic Estates attending the Fire Commissioners meetings
again, he feels that it is important that we keep in touch with what
is going on in the department. The next meeting is May 8th and I plan
on being there.
The
Shelter Operator and Introduction to Disaster Training, was held in
March and was put on by the Red Cross, it was well attended by residents
of Scenic Estates. Jon and Colleen Archer and their 2 sons, Clay and
Mary Wray and Louise Weber, [this may seem a few but we actually needed
only 3]. Unfortunately it was held on a board meeting day and some were
unable to attend. The good news is that those that missed it will be
able to take it in the fall, as the Red Cross plans on doing it again.
I have been working with Mona Moore [from the Island] since early this
year so if anybody wishes to take this training please contact me. Because
this many from Scenic Estates attended we will now have access to a
disaster kit, which could help in the event of this ever happening.
At this time it is unknown just where this kit will be located, but
it is being worked on. I will keep you informed.
Frankie
Small stated Kevin Southworth took the class also. Barb Myers stated
that LISE was well represented. Discussion followed.
(2001/5/10)
M. Barbara Myers 2nd Lucy Bain “that a web site be
developed for Lummi Island Scenic Estates, and register a domain name
for $35 per year and maintaining the site for approximately $15 per
month.” Passed.
(2001/5/11)
M. Darlene Stoffer, 2nd Barbara Myers “that
we adjourn” at 12:02 p.m.
Next meeting will
be June 17, 2001 at 9:30 a.m.
