CHANGE OF AGENDA


Director Owens motioned, and it was seconded, to move IV.B. Board Vacancy, up on the agenda to be discussed next. Motion carried unanimously.

As there was only one official letter of resignation received from Mr. Callahan, it was determined that there was only one vacant board seat at this time. A letter will be drafted and sent to Director Osgood asking for his letter of resignation.


The letters of interest to fill the vacancy were reviewed, and President Gentry asked if there was any other interest from the floor. Ms. Tammy Cordova of lot 2-004 expressed her interest in becoming a board member. She and another candidate in attendance, Ms. Cynthia Spencer of lot 7-094, both were given the opportunity to address and answer questions from the Board.

A vote was taken on who would be appointed to fill the vacant board seat. The vote ended in a tie with Tammy Cordova receiving 3 votes (Directors Gentry, Peterson, and Smith), and Cynthia Spencer receiving 3 votes (Directors Domingo, Owens and Riggins). Meeting rules (Robert's Rules of Order) then dictated that the President appoint the new director. With no objections, President Gentry appointed Tammy Cordova as a new member of the Board of Directors. Ms. Cordova accepted and took her seat on the Board.
