  3. Presidents Report: Left message for Arkan Jonna related to future plans and illegal tree cutting on Bay Pointe property. Still no update on pump repair, should be done this week. Had a member drop off a check for $2,000 in response to having a lien filed. Discussion on a policy to accommodate this.
    Motion: After a lien is filed if a member wants to pay it off prior to sale or transfer of property we will accept double the principal debt plus $100 for filing fees, and then as long as the member makes their following year dues payment prior to April 15th we will release the lien and forgive the balance of penalties. If the member wishes to have the lien released prior to this, they will need to contact the board and we will look at it on a case-by-case basis. (Greg A, Jeff 2nd ) Passed 8-0-2
