The president, Ray O'Connor, called the meeting to order at 3:00 p.m. in the conference room of the PBPOA office. Present were: Marvin Peterson, Norman Snow, Lois Sabatino, Robert Andersen, Charles Morris, Bill Turner and Jim Henry. Absent, Kay Potter.

The president introduced 3 guests present at the meeting: John Domenie, Elaine Wintersteen, and Sherie Bawduniak. They represented the steering committee of the Community Affairs Committee. The group explained why they are leaving the Women's League of Pelican Bay (see attached) and looking for our support and sponsorship, and access to our newsletter.

Questions were fielded by the Board. Who represents them on our Board as chairperson? How many members do they have? (about 60) Their programs are not meant to be controversial. The Board of PBPOA would have final decision on choice of programs. No financial support as yet.

Upon motion duly made, seconded and passed unanimously, the minutes of the January 20, 2000 meeting were approved.

The point of mailing was brought up. Ray O'Connor mentioned that notices given to Presidents of Associations for distribution are not always successful.

The annual financial statement will go into the newsletter.

Upon motion by Marvin Peterson, seconded and passed unanimously, the report of the treasurer was accepted.

The following committee reports were given:

MEMBERSHIP AND MARKETING

Chuck Morris brought the Board up to date on the membership (see attached).

It was noted that several renewal checks have been lost by the post office.

PROJECT 41

Jim Henry mentioned that George Botner had a meeting with Jim Ward and the County to set the budget - #502,000 for the project. MSTBU says their total will be $250,000, no more. The application to the state has gone in. This will offset the $250,000. Jim feels the project is going to go ahead. It was suggested that a picture be put in Straight Talk with Botner and our Board committee members showing initial stage of project.

GOVERNANCE

Ray O'Connor announced that Ross Obley, chairperson of the Governance committee, has resigned from the Board due to other time-consuming projects.

COMMUNICATIONS

Lois Sabatino asked the various committee chairmen to submit copy to "Straight Talk" by the end of next week. Lois talked with Ron Diorio concerning his internet project. Seems like a good way for the residents to express their ideas. His resume is on file.

The CERT program is very worthwhile . Three Board members take part.

The gift idea for Dr. Varley has been dropped. He works for the county - no gift.

How about memorial benches around Pelican Bay? Foundation responsible for this type of project.

COMMENTS BY PRESIDENT
