Val Verde homeowners association

The undersigned, being all of the Directors and Officers of the Val Verde Homeowners Association, a Nebraska nonprofit corporation ("Corporation"), hereby approve the following minutes for the March 20th, 2006 monthly meeting of the Members.

Jeremy Kinsey called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. at Portal Elementary School. Directors and officers present and participating were Jeremy Kinsey, John Eylander, and Susan Lewis.  Approximately 11 homeowner members were present. There were no invited guests.

 

1.            Introduction of Board Members:  Jeremy Kinsey introduced the board members and their roles on the HOA board.   Jeremy Kinsey confirmed that all of the attendees received postcards notifying members of the HOA meeting.  All present confirmed receipt of notice.

4.         Dues Assessment:  John Eylander reported that the HOA Board agreed to assess the 2006 dues at $125.00.  Notices will be sent out shortly.  Dues were maintained at that rate due to the lack of volunteers needed to complete required tasks in subdivision.
