Tired of Winter Weather? Cheer Up: Spring is only 66 days away!

Highlights of Jan. 20 Special Board Meeting
The Board met in special open session to finalize the proposal and related statement for the Special Meeting of LMOA Members on
April 2. The special member meeting was called by the Board to give members the opportunity to vote whether to authorize use of
$700,000 from the Emergency Reserve Account (ERA) to pay for major repairs to the Main Lake and Tufton Lake dams. After much
discussion, both documents were approved as edited during the meeting, pending legal review. The statement, which will accompany
the proposal in the Notice of Special Member Meeting, will describe what will happen if the proposal is approved by members and if it is
not. The Board made it clear that regardless of the outcome of the vote, the repairs will be (must be) made. If the members do not
authorize use of ERA funds, the cost of repairs will be paid from various other accounts.
The Board also
• Denied a motion to cancel the April 2 special meeting and proceed to use money from other funds for the dam repairs.
• Amended a September 2010 motion that authorized purchase of a police vehicle to specify the vehicle is a 2010 vehicle, not a 2011 vehicle.
• Set the time and location of the April 2 Special Meeting of Members. The meeting will be called to order at 10AM in the Faulconer
Room and go immediately into recess for ballot voting until 1PM, when the meeting will be called back to order in the Terrace Room.
Clarification on member comments during special Board of Directors meetings: The Bylaws limit member comments during
special open session Board meetings specifically to the meeting topic. The same requirement holds true for Board work sessions.
