Contract review will continue to be performed by requesting Board member feedback to contracts and draft acceptance letters provided by e-mail delivery, or hardcopy for those without e-mail, and a response time of no more than three days will be set for Board member review.  Final Execution of the Contract and acceptance letters will be at the discretion of the President, based on the feedback from Board members review and the interest of the Community to implement these plans.  At this time, the Electrical Proposal and Draft Acceptance Letter have been reviewed by the Board and are executable by the Association President.”  The motion was not seconded and did not pass.
