v     Action Items:  Pete Lashenka

 

  • Pete Lashenka reviewed action items and due dates with Board.  

 

v     New Business: 

 

  • The Board discussed the attendance requirements for JICA Board members because some of the Board members do not show up on a regular basis.  The Board needs members who can actively participate on a regular basis.  A motion was made by Wayne Hatten to terminate Lucia Philipson as a Board Member for lack of participation and for missing more than three board meetings in a row (per Article 4 section of the Bylaws).  The Board asked Blas Contreras to call Lucia from his cell phone during tonight’s meeting to confirm that Lucia has missed more than three consecutive meetings and to see if she would like to resign.  Lucia was not home but Blas left a message.  Blas then phoned Dominick Marino and advised him of Article 4 in the Bylaws and Dominick resigned over the phone.  Dominick told Blas that he joined the Board because he wanted to participate with the Master Plan Island on Ellison Wilson Road and the Board is no longer dealing with that issue.

 

  • At the end of tonight’s Board Meeting a motion was made by Wayne Hatten to release Lucia Philipson from her duties because she has missed three or more consecutive meetings; Tom Wajdowicz seconded the motion, and the motion passed unanimously with remaining Board members.

 

v     Secretary’s Report:  Jim Jackson

 

  • Jim Jackson handed out copies of an email from Theresa Lemme, Attorney, dated Monday, September 12, 2005.  Attached to the email were the 2005 proposed amendments with the changes requested by the Board of Directors; a copy of the definition of family from the Palm Beach County Land Development Code; and sample provisions from other associations on roof pitch requirements. 

 

§         Jim Jackson referenced the Covenants, page 11, paragraph 13, and stated that the proposed covenant changes need to be out by October 1 in order to be voted on at the annual Board meeting in November.  The Board needs to communicate the proposed covenant changes with residents. 

 

§         A community workshop will be held on September 22, 2005, at Oceanview Methodist Church on US #1 at 6:30 pm to review the six proposed covenant changes.  At the conclusion of the workshop, a special Board Meeting will be held to approve the final wording of six proposed covenant changes and to appoint an election committee.  Covenant changes must be out by October 1.
