The Annual Meeting of Sunshine Acres Property Owners Association was held Saturday, July 22, 2006 at Gardiner Community Center. A quorum was established with 46 members in attendance, including 4 board members. Secretary Kim Jacobs called the meeting to order at 6:33 pm, and stated that Marydee Countryman has agreed to act as Chair Pro Tem for this meeting, if elected. Gail Riggs moved to elect Marydee Chair Pro Tem; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously and Kim turned the meeting over to Marydee.
Minutes: Secretary Kim Jacobs stated that copies of the minutes of the January 14, 2006 Semi Annual Meeting are on the table and that they are on the website and asked if there were any corrections. There were none. Everett Stauffer made a motion to accept the minutes as written; the motion was seconded and passed.
Treasurer's Report: Treasurer Irma Martin presented the Annual Treasurer's Report through July 22, 2006. Copies were available to the attendees. Everett Stauffer moved to accept the Treasurer's Report; the motion was seconded and passed.
Irma stated that a volunteer is needed to perform an audit for 2004-2005 financial records, and for 2005-2006 financial records at the end of August 2006. She requested that anyone willing to perform the audits call her. Marydee stated that we need someone who is a CPA or has done auditing before.
Nominations Committee: Kim Jacobs, Chair, stated that 5 nominations were received. They are: Gary Getch, Edie Preston, Barry Olson, Annemarie Montera and Kim Jacobs. Everett Stauffer handed up a nomination for Jim Wilson. An attendee asked how many positions are open. Marydee said that 7 positions are open as Irma and Kim's terms expire this August 31st, and stated that since we're electing a brand new board, the new board will be staggered. The person getting the most votes will have the longest term; the person getting the least votes will have the shortest term. Terms will vary from one year to three years so that not everyone comes up for re-election at the same time. Marydee asked if there were any more nominations from the floor. There were none.
Everett Stauffer said that he was willing to withdraw his resignation and complete the remainder of his term on the Board. Gerry Stiles made a motion to accept the field of candidates and also to allow Everett Stauffer to withdraw his resignation and to complete his term on the Board of one year. The motion was divided. That portion of the motion to accept the field of candidates, Jim Wilson, Gary Getch, Edie Preston, Barry Olson, Annemarie Montera, and Kim Jacobs was seconded and passed unanimously. That portion of the motion to allow Everett Stauffer to rescind his resignation and complete his remaining term was seconded and passed. Marydee invited Everett to come to the table.
Elections Committee: Marydee stated that the Elections Committee consists of the Secretary, who is an automatic member of the Committee, and two voting members at large, not Board appointed. Anne Stiles and Cindy Knight volunteered.
Mussel Beach Road Committee Report: Everett Stauffer reported there hasn't been much change since our last meeting. That we were essentially given a stop work order by the Department of Ecology person until she can get with the County and a decision is made. It's just going to take time for the different agencies to get together. Barry Olson stated that when Ms. Dickes came out she was looking for some dirty water that was reported. The day she came there was no rain, no water, so if she's going to have to have visual sight of water running into the Bay, that will be October probably.
Les Stuhr moved to put on a ballot wording to cease all further improvement to Mussel Beach Road, and close off access to driving. The motion was seconded and failed.
Everett Stauffer reported on the detention pond, stating that we spent no money on the detention pond this year. That it has worked fine. He didn't have to do any pumping, he jarred the pumps a couple of times to make sure they worked and drained them so they don't freeze and break. Some work needs to be done inside to stabilize the pipes. Other than that, we should be good for another 2 or 3 years.
Ernie Hansen stated that paving material costs have increased and if we have a bid that's still firm we should attempt to lock it in. After some discussion, it was determined that this is a matter for the new board to discuss.
Kathy Williamson stated that she wanted to thank the pilots’ association for doing such a great job on the vacant lot that they cleaned up. (Applause)
Keith DeStefano thanked Irma Martin for all her hard work, stating that her term is over and the board members need a little appreciation from us. (Applause)
Marydee called for further discussion. There was no further discussion. Jim Martin moved that we adjourn. The motion was seconded and approved and the meeting was adjourned at 7:27pm.
