Since a number of ownersin-attendance votes plus proxy votes did not reach the number required for a quorum (50%/14 votes), no votes of acceptance/rejection could be taken at the meeting. The Board expressed their disappointment that owners are did not attend the meeting and did not submit proxies. Feedback from the ownership is requested as to what steps can be taken to increase attendance and/or receive proxies. The next ARR Annual Meeting is planned for August 5, 2017. If you would prefer a different date, please let us know Officer / Committee Reports 1. Presidents Annual Report and Accomplishments Don Cox mentioned that he thought the two (2) significant accomplishments for the year were (a) setting in place a three-year contract for maintenance and snow plowing of our roads and (2) rebuilding/completing the ARR entrance marquee. Everyone agreed that the sign looks very nice at the entrance. 2. Treasurer s Report George Denbow circulated is Profit & Loss and Balance Sheets for review. On the Balance sheet, George noted that two (owners) are in arrears (totally $1431.25) and that $900 due the owners who had loan money to ARR covered by a promissory note would be paid at the meeting, leaving the ARR Loan Payable sub-account at $4000. This sum represents the amount loaned by eight (8) ARR owners; this loan will be paid back as money is available, as agreed last year. There were no questions or clarifications on the Profit & Loss sheet. George also presented the Board approved Budget for August 2016- July 2017.

Kit mentioned that there was a spot on Constanti Ridge that was soft and she felt it needed attention. Although funds are getting short for more road work this year, Fred will check out the spot and report back to the BOD as to the estimated cost of remedying the issue. 5. CAB Committee Report a. New Webmaster position Paula Minor informed the owners that she now has received all the necessary files from Carolyn Reed and has either purchased or found the programs needed to keep our website up to date. b.

They have an early version of a function/link that will allow owners to send their proxy to the Officers from their email; the BOD was asked to try out this feature to see if any glitches come up before it is opened to the general membership. Additionally, a link to upcoming Agendas and the Complaint Form will soon be placed on the Meetings page.
