" Proxy Committee chaired by Jean Thomsin, with help from Dennis Horazak, Bill Snook and Ron Wiley, facilitated a smooth Annual Member Meeting and Election process.
" Steve Hartman as Vice-President stepped in when Larry had to excuse himself because of potential conflict of interest situations.
" All in all an active year.

Election of Directors
" Jean Thomsin handed out Ballot Sheets with the 'Summaries of candidate's qualifications & plans' and explained the voting and counting process.
" Dick Glesener asked if 7 board members are a legal maximum. The answer is there is no limit other than an odd number.
" Some of the original Board members (Myron Davis and Steve Hartman) felt that it had been difficult to reach consensus with 9 in part because of personalities and all being new to the board. However, both had no strong preference for either 7 or 9 board members.
" There were no other candidate nominations from the floor.
" Larry Sheeler mentioned that he would rather not run if there was opposition from the members because of his potential conflict of interest.
" Steve Hartman mentioned that although there was the potential for conflict of interest, there has never been an actual conflict as long as Larry has been on the board.
" Several homeowners spoke out in favor of having Larry on the board.
" Larry accepted his candidacy for board member.
" After this each of the nine candidates introduced themselves and talked about their experiences and their plans for the board.
" Dick Glesener made the motion to accept all 9 candidates as the new board. This was seconded by Paul Bartlett and accepted by the majority (two nays).
" Therewith the following 9 candidates were 'voted' in as Cypress Isles Board of Directors:

" Chip Crane
" Myron Davis
" Steve Hartman
" Dennis Horazak
" Larry Sheeler
" Bill Snook
" Cookie Symons
" Jean Thomsin
" Ron Wiley

" Larry Sheeler thanked Sonya Barsness for her activity on the board of last year.

Open Forum
" Entrance lights: Ron Wiley reported that he has the contract ready to sign and start the work within 2 weeks.
" Back (East) entrance: Claudia Rilea asked if something could be done to improve the appearance of the back entrance. It looks shabby with a crooked sign and several dead plants and shrubs. Larry Sheeler mentioned that Tom Bontrager would discuss improvements with our landscape contractor and the consulting horticulturist.
" Drainage and Resurfacing: A homeowner asked about the road work that has started on Spring Island Way. Larry mentioned that this would be the installation of 'underdrain' in two sections of SIW followed by a complete resurfacing all of Cypress Isles. This can take up to 6 months and cause some hardship by not being able to get into the garage.
" Colors for Houses: Josephine Bowman asked about allowing people to paint their houses in much different colors than the rest of the community. Chip Crane responded that the original 15-16 neutral Centex color schemes are not always available at Color Wheel anymore. The trend is to go to more earthly tones. The ARC has impacted 3 homeowner's wishes for color application for color schemes and asked them to 'tone down' their colors. The suggestion was made to provide some guidelines for the homeowners. This is a lot of work and Chip suggested that people contact Color Wheel to discuss color schemes and take color samples home. The ARC was asked to put this advice on the CI website.
