Meeting — Monday, April 30, 2018
Meeting Summary:
A special meeting of the Board was held on Monday, April 30, 2018 at the office of Board President Bruce Wilson. Due to the short notice given in arranging the meeting, notice of the meeting announcement was waived. Attending the meeting in person and by teleconference were: President Bruce Wilson, Secretary Debbie Director, Treasurer Helen Hoart, ARC Head Paul Salditt, and Vice President Louisa Hollman.
The meeting was called to order by President Wilson at 8:15 p.m. and a quorum was declared.
President Wilson summarized the interviews of the two candidates that became finalists for the replacement of office manager Linda Travers. President Wilson, Secretary Debbie Director and Treasurer Helen Hoart had interviewed several candidates the previous Friday at the North Shores office. Lisa Meck, of Legum and Norman, the property management company recently retained to manage the North Shores office, also attended the interview session.
The Board discussed the merits and work experience of both candidates as well as their desire to work full time. Initially the Board had sought candidates for a part time position. Search results were unable to find candidates with work experience and credentials to fill the office manager position for the twenty hours a week that had been advertised. The Board discussed the additional expense associated with full time employment on the current budget. It was agreed that the benefits of the stronger skill set and the growing scope of managing the North Shores community justified the increase in expense and additional hours of employment for the office manager role. A unanimous decision was made to offer the new office manager position to Catherine Thompson.
The Board then discussed the construction application for 22 Robins lane. The neighbor comment period closed on April 18, 2018 with a 30 day deadline of May 4, 2018. Neighbor comments and the response from Mr. and Mrs. Shub had been reviewed by the Board prior to the meeting. Paul Salditt, ARC head, recommended approval the application. The Board voted unanimously to approve.
