Lacking a quorum we would have just decamped, but we had a member of the public who wished to speak, and it seemed appropriate to listen. Alan Levin was kind enough to share some thoughts with us (I've taken the liberty of editing for length and reordering, and have copied Alan to ensure I caught the gist of his remarks).</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#6633FF'>I pointed out that the reason we created <a href="http://chnorthmetro.us">chnorthmetro.us</a> aliases (especially the "<a href="mailto:board@chnorthmetro.us">board@chnorthmetro.us</a>" alias) was to ensure that discussion was archived (and so to keep our private email private in the event of Open Records requests). Our last discussion about this meeting was inadvertently not sent to the alias, and not archived. We should try to make sure to retrain our fingers to use the alias!</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#6633FF'>Darcy pointed out we have some time pressure regarding the "audit exemption" and payment to the County for election fees. As such, we were planning to try to hold the meeting next Thursday. It was noted that as long as there was a physical plurality at the meeting, that a speakerphone could be used to complete a quorum. While not a good practice to plan on, we should pool our cellphone numbers so that in the event of an urgency such as this mornings session, we might be able to complete the critical action items.</span><o:p></o:p></li></ol><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#6633FF'>My notes of Alan's remarks</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><ol start=1 type=1><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#6633FF'>Alan has a sewer blockage, and there seems to be considerable confusion about where his pipe runs (the City sent him to Hillcrest, etc.).

If the payback period were 10 years or less, this might be compelling to the community. However, taking ownership of the signs would probably make such transfers more difficult because the only logical Districts to take things over are limited to Sanitation (or Water and Sanitation). </span><o:p></o:p></li></ol></ol></ol></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#6633FF'>A possible topic for future agenda(s), should we record the meetings? Board members who cannot be physically present may wish more detail than makes Minutes; also there may be Residents who cannot make the 7:30AM time. Due to space constraints, I'd suggest that if we do regularly record, that we formally adopt a policy about keeping only the last meeting recording up.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#6633FF'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#6633FF'>A note for Alan (if you have read this far). Please ask the HOA board to authorize the District to use the HOA email list (either the de facto one from the 5A discussion last election, or some formal alias the HOA has set up on some server). We have an (empty) "interest" list which is the natural mechanism to "push" notifications of meetings and agenda's .. but there isn't a good way to advertise its existence to the community until the upcoming joint HOA/District meeting. But it seems to me that the HOA Board may well have some interest in joining early.
