Recap:
June 23 Board Meeting
Agenda
- The meeting opened with a ~45 minute Powerpoint summary by the President that included a recap of why he proposed the chairlift and detailed information regarding the chairlift model itself (mostly provided by the vendor).
- The HOA attorney was present on zoom for the entire meeting. At least 250 members attended in person and on zoom.
- The President then read aloud some FaceBook posts, with commentary, about the chairlift and included 'Like' counts.
- Next, the Treasurer spoke about ADA rules (that do not apply us as a private club.)
- Finallly, about 16-18 homeowners who signed up in advance were permitted to speak. Despite the delay, attendance had not waned in the ballroom or on Zoom. Member comments were thoughtful and well researched. For instance, Medley has a zero entry pool, not a ramp, so no railings are required for a water wheelchair (as was suggested in the initial monogloge.) Members of the disability community and their families discussed access, independence and dignity but there was not a consensus that a chairlift was preferred over a water wheelchair option. Many other comments reflected concerns about general transparency and fiscal responsibility.
- After all members' comments, the board then voted to reconsider the chair lift purchase and it will not be ordered. So the 297 home Petition was effective.
- The board meeting was adjorned before any consideration of the water wheelchair option. (There is one available at the Lagoon if anyone would like to see it or try it.)
