2015 Annual Meeting Proxy

Merrimac
Homeowners
Association Inc.
January 27th, 2014
Happy New Year!
Enclosed you will find the important information and forms regarding the upcoming 2015 Annual
Meeting of the Merrimac Homeowners Association.
As announced previously, the meeting will be held on Monday, February 9th, 2015 at 7:00 P.M. at
the Merrimac Clubhouse at 14828 Chamberlain Drive, Westfield, IN 46074.
Agenda items will include:
 Introductions
 State of the Association
 Treasurer’s Report
 Approval of past annual meeting minutes.
 Close Nominations
 Candidate Introductions
 Elections
 Possible Wading Pool Expansion Q&A
 Continued discussion on Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and
Restrictions of Merrimac (here on referred to as A&R CCRS)
 General Q&A
Regarding the following agenda items:
The discussion on the possible wading pool expansion will be to continue the discussion
which the entire community was invited to discuss at the September 2014 meeting as the Board prepared the
2015 budget. While many Owners have voiced support of the concept in comments to Board members,
there was only one non-Board member in attendance at the September. Further, although there have been no
objections noted, the Board feels that the benefits may not outweigh the current estimated costs of this
project, and therefore wish to gather additional input at the annual meeting before reaching a decision.
The continued discussion on the A&R CCRS is a result of additional suggestions and
inquiries from residents after the proposal was distributed last year. The A&R CCRS were approved last
year as proposed and are in full effect. We are, as requested, gathering additional ideas for future
consideration as well as possibly clarifying some language which has been brought in to question.
QUORUM: Conducting business at the Association’s annual meeting requires quorum to be
reached. Therefore, it imperative that you attend the annual meeting and vote in person OR you
submit your proxy. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
