- President’s Report was given by Derrick Guillory as follows:
- HOA Management: This is not to vote on in this meeting. The company will raise the dues to the amount that we need to function. They make an account for every homeowner; each homeowner has a username and password. They can be paid weekly, monthly, daily. We send them our minutes, they review, and email to everyone’s account. Rob said that our Articles of Incorporation prevent companies from taking control of the account.
- Pool: We will give the current company 1 week (deadline of July 5, 2023) to clear up the current issues with the pool. Nancy Simoneaux, a homeowner, has looked into other companies and unfortunately they are not currently accepting new clients. Derrick will continue to solicit quotes for new pool companies. We would like to have someone ready to go by July 5, 2023. Scott said give “The Veteran” the chance to fix the pool after the current company. Current company will do a dropout tomorrow and close the pool for the required amount of time.
- Vice President’s Report was given by Rob Ray as follows:

- Annual Expense Report: An annual expense report was prepared and presented to the Board for the 22-23 Fiscal Year. The Board discussed the previous fiscal year’s budget and expenses and determined that the increase in cost of services due to economic changes may necessitate consideration of an increase in the annual assessment.
