SPECIAL BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING
January 4, 2005

Sole purpose of this Special Board Meeting was to discuss feasibility of hiring a Property Management firm for the community.

Present were:
Anne Esquivel, President
Julia King, Treasurer
Albert Carchedi, Secretary

Tony McSorley from the community

President convened the meeting at 8:15. A quorum of the board was present.

Discussion on the continuity aspect and the desire to make transitions easier with new board members, committees, and the necessity of that function, and how a PM may aid this process.

The discussion further centered on the ARC and the problems we are now experiencing. This is the function where help is most needed and where the PM might serve us best. It was pointed out that our previous attempts to have PM perform this function have failed, and often caused more problems than it solved. It was agreed that previous poor performance of a PM did not necessarily mean that a new PM would also perform badly.

All agreed that a PM could not solve all of our problems, but might provide help in certain areas.

It was suggested that the follow up and paper work was where we needed help the most, and that our own committee could still function, and monitor, but that the paperwork could be handled by a PM. It was agreed that this would be ideal, if the PM functioned properly.

The POAA process was discussed, and that Betty Lillard was doing a fine job, but here again it is the paperwork that is the burden and the PM could provide that.

The "One Stop Call" was discussed and all agreed this would be a great help if the PM produced what they had proposed. The "One Stop Call" proposal indicated that any resident, with any complaint, at any time, could call the PM for resolution.

Through out the discussions, the specter of PMs Past was prominent in the meeting.

At this point, time had run out and the meeting adjourned at 9:15 P.M.
