Secretary:  New board members voted in at annual meeting to start their term in January 2022:  Ashley Golding and Jeremy Scott.  The ballot needs redesign for next year to improve voting.  Recommended having the potluck first at the annual meeting to allow for ballot tally.  Consider using some type of electronic voting form from SurveyMonkey, Constant Contact or MACH form (or the like). 

Treasurer:  Review of the 2020 audit.  There were no significant or delinquencies noted in the audit of our accounts.  Passes as a clean audit.

Motion was made by Anna Hernandez-French and seconded by David Tyler that we accept the 2020 audit with the caveat that for the 2021 audit process is changed concerning our reserve accounts so that operating funds are not included.  All approved.  MMSP

Budget Committee:  Currently HOA solutions uses an accrual accounting system for our accounts.  Reports do not show our true income.  Instead, the reports show a flat amount (1/12 of the budget).  Expenditures are booked true.  Budget committee is recommending that we move to a cash accounting system by changing the language in the HOA Solutions contract for 2022.  Excess income from the community operating and water operating should be moved to the appropriate funds.

Motion made by Barbara Dommert-Breckler and seconded David Tyler to move from an accrual to a cash accounting system with the new HOA Solutions contract.  All approved.  MMSP

Motion made by Jaimie Ehrler and seconded by David Tyler that the Community Operating and Water Operating excess be move to the appropriate Community Reserve or Water Reserve funds.  All approved.  MMSP
