·        Vice President’s Report:

·        A draft Conflict Resolution Process was distributed to members for review.  Don elaborated on the Process.  A short break was taken to allow members to read and present comments to Don.  A few comments were received.

·        Members indicated a desire to pursue the Process; a committee will get together to fine tune the document.

·         The Process only affects violations of By-laws and CC&Rs or into which the Board enters. 

·        Motion made by Ken Hardwick to accept the draft, make the few suggested changes, and run the Process through legal counsel; seconded by Christine Harr.  Motion passed.

·        Cannabis Plant:

·        The City of Independence is processing an application for a cannabis growing/ processing plant across Stryker road.  Much discussion was heard expressing frustration with the City.  Ken Hardwick believes the City will go forward and the Planning Commission will approve this business application. 

·        Ken Hardwick advises the HOA should hold off filing an appeal until the next ISAS meeting.  ISAS represents both North Park and IAHA.  North Park and IAHA could share expenses in appealing the cannabis application.
