Items for the Good of the Order
Adjournment
Ron Singh’s Suggestions
1. Agenda:
a.
Solicit suggestions for discussion/resolution from the homeowners prior to the development
of the agenda.
b.
Provide a more detailed agenda properly describing items to be discussed and/or
resolved.
c.
Include a standing item on the agenda for the status of past action items.
2. Meetings:
a.
Conduct a Board work session at the beginning of each year to train new Board members
on IAHA Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs); Bylaws; City of
Independence Sub-Chapter 48 (Airpark Overlay); relevant portions of ORS
94.550-94.783; and Robert’s Rules of Order.
b. As
suggested by Dave Ullman, conduct a joint Board and homeowners’ workshop to
inform and educate all parties for the successful management of this planned
airpark community.
c.
Genuinely listen to homeowners concerns and try to see it from their
perspective. I’ve found that most homeowners don’t attend these meetings
because they don’t like conflict and don’t believe that anything will result
from their comments.
d.
Allocate sufficient time for the open floor session, but then keep the
remainder of the meeting discussions contained within the Board members.
3. Minutes:
a. Use an
audio recorder (during the meeting) to capture the discussion, any action items,
and/or decisions made. This would provide a good record of what was said and
aid in developing the minutes.
b. Note
each homeowners’ comments made during the open session. This should include
their name, issue, Board response, action items, and/or decisions made.
4. Documents:
a. Update
the CC&R, Bylaw, and other documents to include page numbers and revision
dates on each page.
5. Transparency:
a. Post
all IAHA documents on the web site with the exception of those related to the
executive sessions.
b. Prior
to entering an executive session, state the general nature of the action to be
considered, and when, and under what circumstances the deliberation can be disclosed
to the homeowners. The motion to meet in executive session must be followed by
a vote of the Board members and this information recorded in the minutes.
c.
Discussions during an executive session should be strictly limited to items detailed
in ORS 94.644(2).
6. Taxiway Restoration
a. Post
the original taxiway maintenance plan and initial cost estimate on the web site.
b. Review
and update the cost estimate annually and adjust the assessment as required by
ORS 94.595(3). [this is too late for the current situation, but should be done
for next taxiway life cycle planning].
c.
Deliver the taxiway restoration project (per original proposed scope and
resulting assessment) by Summer, 2023.
7. Enforce the CC&Rs:
a.
Enforce the CC&Rs and comply with the Bylaws, Administrative Rules, and relevant
Oregon Revised Statutes. Failure to comply is cause for suit or action against
a non-compliant homeowner and/or IAHA.
b. Not
enforcing the CC&Rs could be a costly result of inaction, while enforcing
the CC&Rs is easily defensible and minimizes the chance of suit against
IAHA.
c. If
IAHA opts to not enforce the CC&Rs, the CC&Rs would serve no purpose
and should be abandoned.
