1. Call to Order: Meeting was called to order at 11:25 office on site. A quorum was not met; only 8 members present. Those members agreed to call other members to meet quorum. Meeting officially called to order at 11:50 am.

5. President’s Report: Update of by-laws needed
6. Treasurer’s Report: Nothing to report as documentation was just handed over at 9 a.m. the day of the meeting, per Terry; previously paid Treasurer did not hand over any documentation
7. Committee Reports: No committees currently
8. Old Business: No old business
9. New Business: Once a quorum was met and the meeting was called to order Keven White discussed how the current board was selected by court order, and the current board is looking over all documentation that was handed over the morning of this meeting. Keven is in the process of submitting the POA Management Certificate. A general phone number is needed that will not be linked to one person before the certificate can be filed with TREC. No access to the current website, as Terry states he paid for it with his own money and agreed to release it within the next few months. Current by-laws and amendments are contradictory, and a suggestion was made to have a special meeting to open discussion on changes and then hire a lawyer to revise and update them. POA fee reduction was discussed, and at this time they will remain the same. Due to the different accounts and court disputes, it is difficult to prove who has paid past fees; thus, the current board has agreed they will not hold any unpaid past fees previous to 2026 against anyone.
10. Open Forum (Members’ Comments): David Swindle asked about maintenance of the park. Jimmy is currently mowing with other volunteers. Richard stated volunteers do not work. Kandy suggested we pay someone and stated she has helped for years. Ann asked how long the board has been at 6 members and wanted to know what the additional 2 members do. Keven informed that the original by-laws state the board is 6 people; also, it is a state requirement that the additional members help as needed. Chris asked about letters being mailed out for this meeting. Letters were not mailed out as the court order did not come through until recently, and there was no time to mail letters before the by-law-mandated meeting date. Kandy suggested we have signs made for all entrances and the pavilion to announce meetings. It was stated that the POA had signs at one time. A suggestion was made to only have one Facebook account with a no slander rule; all agreed; however, it will take time to establish. Kandy suggested a monthly community potluck or garage sale.
11. Adjournment: Motion to adjourn made by Jeramy D’Augereauax, seconded by Ann, meeting adjournment at 12:45 pm
