  1. 1.)  Approval of Prior Actions – Greg Waina proposed that all actions from prior meetings be approved. Matt Riggs seconded the motion. All present were in favor and the motion was adopted.
  2. 2.)  Annual Elections – The Association office bearers discussed the modality of sending out the ballot along with the Annual Dues notice. It was determined that this method was acceptable as there were many ballots that were turned in and as such no change in this method was required. It was also noted that there were 2 write ins for John Aman as Vice President. Considering the need for more volunteers to take board positions, it was deemed highly likely that we could induct him into the board. Matt Riggs will send the final counts by Friday or over the weekend.
  3. 3.)  Presentation of the 2017 Annual Report and the Approval of 2018 Budget – Matt Riggs presented the five-year actuals from 2014 to 2017 and a proposed 2018 budget. The members went through the actuals and did not find any items that were extraordinary. The proposed annual budget was also discussed in detail and compared with the previous year’s actuals. It was agreed that the budget for mailbox refurbishment needs to be evaluated further as the initial quote was only for labor. There was a unanimous decision to increase the budget from $4,000 to $14,000 in 2018 and the overall budget deficit of $16,800 was put forward for approval. Matt Riggs proposed the approval and Greg Waina seconded the motion. All present were in favor and the motion was adopted.
