President Kudos and Comments
Thanks to Jesse for having installed the stop sign at the end of the Clubhouse driveway; to the
Communication Committee for providing a thorough survey for our members; the Nominating
Committee for their hard work; the Road District for helping us to resolve a safety issue at the
Clubhouse driveway and moving the stop sign on Oceania. The Road District will be painting
the Beach Access lines on Oceania, moving and replacing street signs, and paving selected
streets very soon. The ADA ramp has been completed by Vision Builders, with only a few minor
items to be addressed. The suggestion box has been set up and is working well
([email protected]), thank you for your suggestions. I spoke to Mr. Bartoldous
(Bayshore’s attorney) and we are making good progress on becoming tax exempt on our
community properties (common areas). I will know more within a month or so.

MSP

and flags from $500 to $1200.
It was asked if the Board was approving the 2015-2016 budget year requests. Clarification was

Board is voting whether to approve the proposed budget requests.
Motion passed unanimously.

MEMBER COMMENTS
Member Vivian Mills made the following presentation:
Bayshore Beach Club Inc Board of Directors This is a request to have the following Proposed Bylaw Change mailed out with the Annual Meeting material as a separate ballot. The Bayshore Bylaws now read in part as follows: Article IV, Directors, Section1, 4th sentence. “All Divisions shall be represented on the Board if possible, with not more than two Directors from any one Division.” The proposed rewrite: “All Divisions shall be represented on the board if possible, with not more than two representatives FOR each Division.” Justifications: 1. This amendment addresses the primary focus of this section which is to ensure representation for all Bayshore Divisions, if possible. 2. Which Division the representative is from becomes not as important as each division having a representative. 3. This change would give members who live in fully represented Divisions the opportunity to serve on the Board rather than deny them that opportunity due to geographical restraints. 4. Would provide a possible way to maintain a functional board when the number of board members has fallen short of the required minimum of seven. Legend for Motions M-‐Motion S-‐Second P-‐Passed F-‐Failed 4 A discussion followed.
MSP
Mary Lou Morris moved to appoint a sub-committee, consisting of at least one (1) Board
Member and two (2) members at large, to determine whether or not to investigate the pros and
cons of having more than two (2) members from each division, which would result in a change
in the By-Laws. The motion was seconded by Max Metcalf.
Motion passed unanimously.
Volunteers from the audience to sit on the sub-committee were: Vivian Mills, Norman
Fernandes, Susy Blankenship and Bobbie MacPhee. Board Member Walt Goodin also
volunteered.
MSP
Mary Lou Morris made a motion to have the sub-committee determine whether or not the
membership has the authority to request a change to the By-Laws. Max Metcalf seconded the
motion.
Motion passed unanimously.
Member Norman Fernandes had a question about staggered terms. He was informed that each
newly elected Director would have a three (3) year term, but Directors filling a vacancy would
serve only until the next election. This could result in a Board with all new Directors, but that will
not happen at the next election, since two Directors have terms that won’t expire until 2016.
MSP
President Brodowy moved to adjourn to Executive Session. The motion was seconded by Mary
Lou Morris.
Motion passed unanimously.
Adjourned at 2:30 pm.
Board reconvened at 2:40 pm.
