Board of Directors Meeting.
Ron Huster called the meeting to order at 6:04 pm
Board members present at beginning and through the voting included: Bob Bollinger, Marti Nyuen, Penny Thompson, Angie Ponzini and Ron Huster. Joining the meeting post voting was Ken Wood.
Discussion began with the subject of so few people being available for officers, especially the secretary. It was suggested that the board contact Anne Wright-Parsons, who took minutes at the January meeting and volunteered to do it on a regular basis. Ron made a motion to do that, seconded by Bob and after since no further discussion was requested, it was approved 6 yea, 0 nay. Ken was not present, yet.
Discussion began on electing officers, Ron stating that Penny would prefer to remain treasurer with all the banking stuff in place, and she would like to be vice-president. Ron also stated that Bob will be involved some evenings with Portage Schools as an event coordinator for sporting events and fears he might miss too many meetings, so Bob has suggested that he not be re-elected as vice president. Marti has expressed that she’s not ready for any additional responsibilities.
Ron put forth a motion to make Penny the Vice-President and re-elect her as treasurer. Angie seconded the motion. No further discussion was requested. The vote was 6 yea, 0 nay. Ken was not present, yet.
Ron advised that due to the meeting attendance required to be president, Marty, Angie, Penny, Bob and Ron meet the requirements. Discussion included that Penny could not be treasurer and president and it might be better to continue with Ron, keeping eyes and ears open to potential future candidates. Bob put forth the motion to re-elect Ron as president, Penny seconded the motion. No further discussion was requested. The vote was 6 yea, 0 nay.
Ron brought up making the meeting change official, going to a January (annual meeting), March, May, July, September and November schedule. He stated that the by-laws say we will hold six meetings a year, including the Annual Meeting as the January meeting. Some discussion followed, the consensus being the additional meetings could be added, if needed.
Ron put forth the motion that the schedule be accepted with the six meetings a year and Penny Seconded. Ken had joined the meeting and Marti had left.
The discussion continued with Ken agreeing on the proposed change. Vote was called. 6 yea, 0 nay. Then a somewhat lengthy discussion was heard concerning Ron’s suggestion on a ruling on who gets to use the Association’s assets, namely email, Face Book and web pages. The concern was expressed about groups, not really representing most residents, as some sidewalk issues that have been aired, asking to use these assets. The discussion concluded with use of these assets need board approval. Board approval was granted to The Nichols Road Safety Committee and The Westwood Yard Sale Committee, with all materials to go to a board member to be posted.
Penny noted that this might be a great time to send out an email to the list explaining what the WNA is working on, links to further information on each and a chance for the addressee to opt-out of the email group. We hope to get this done in the next few weeks, as we create the document. Ron also mentioned that there are four lists as AOL only allows 100 names per group. He stated he will investigate a different server that will provide us with more options.
Meeting adjourned by Ron at 7:12 pm. No additional board meetings were scheduled.
Next WNA Meeting: March 16 2022. 7:00 pm.
