Special Board Meeting (Workshop) September 13, 2001

Board Meeting or Workshop

This meeting was advertised as a board meeting yet identified as a workshop by the President. Is there a difference? And was labeling it as a "workshop" correct? You be the judge. Contents of the meeting follow:

6. Research the cost of hiring a CPA as Treasurer. Vote-3 to 1 with Ron Crosby voting no. Way to go Ron.
7. Adopted a job description for the maintenance position. This is good. Passed unanimously.
8. Video taping of meetings. This is the intent for the association to buy camera equipment to video tape board meetings etc., and prohibit members from taping themselves. A member could request a tape but have to pay for it. When they charge .50 cents a copy for copies, can you imagine the charge for a video tape. Motion to research cost of video equipment passed unanimously.
