OLD BUSINESS

 

1.      Easement Research – Paul Hurst continues to work on easement issues. STATUS: in progress

2.      Madison City Code of Ordinances – These laws enforceable by the City of Madison have been posted on the City of Madison website (specific information for accessing on Bradford Farms website May 20, 2008 HOA minutes).  Notifications of code violations will be investigated by Board members and appropriate action taken.  STATUS: in progress.

3.      Correcting Covenants and By-laws – Paul wants to begin reviewing the spelling, punctuation, and grammar in these documents so all the errors can be corrected. In addition, outdated and antiquated language will be updated to reflect the same meaning in more understandable words. Since this process is technically a “change”, the corrected documents must then be approved by a 2/3 majority of homeowners.  Paul will coordinate this project. STATUS: not started yet

 

 

 

 

NEW BUSINESS

 

1.      Lois said she has to order new checks from Colonial Bank.  Since the timing was right, it was moved, seconded and approved to only require one signature on the checks instead of two from now on.
