    Mrs. Fortin covered the county ordinance on burning. She also discussed the grass clippings some residence leave behind after mowing. Mr. Mungo mentioned the county might have an ordinance.

    Mr. Alexander mentioned he liked the idea of yard of the month. He also mentioned that the sign needed to be moved more promptly. The board mentioned they would try to move the sign a little faster. Lindsey discussed that there would be two more yard of the month's this year.

    Lindsey asked for volunteers. 2 people mentioned they would be willing to help with this.

    Lindsey asked for volunteers for the ARC committee.

    Mr. Alexander mentioned that we did not have a quorum and that the board should hold another meeting and require less people for the quorum.

    Lindsey mentioned that it would be a waste of resources to rent the Church and send out another letter for another meeting. Then have to later send out a referendum on the subject.

    Mr. Alexander mentioned again that there was not enough of for a quorum.

    There was much discussion about a quorum. Lindsey then read the quorum information from the ByLaws.

    Mr. Acuff complained about there being no proxies given out by the Board.

    Mr. Muldoon mentioned there were no persons that volunteered so there was no point in passing out proxies.

    Mr. Keller informed Mr. Acuff that the board does not have to send a written proxy out to the membership. It is the memberships responsibility to cast their proxy with a homeowner in good standing.

    Mrs. Fortin mentioned that the board has done an excellent job and deserves a round of applause.
