Burt also covered an update related to HB 2534, the recently enacted State Law requiring our HOA to review all of their documents for discriminatory language. Burt said: “Our By-Laws are not discriminatory in any way or any of our publications.” Attorneys HARKER & LEPORE will be the final reviewers.

WHAT ABOUT DISCRIMINATORY ACTIONS?

.

Chief Ward provided an important and in-depth report regarding Grants for residents that clean up their yards…

Ward also reported that the Fire Department plans on “Chartering” or sponsoring a CERT TEAM PROGRAM for the Ranch residents with the support of the Association. His CERT TEAM PROGRAM will be part of his larger “Community Service Volunteers Program.”

He confirmed working on a “10 Year Strategic Plan” for the Ranch residents that will include surveys sent out to the homeowners for their input.

On a lighter note, Ward discussed snow removal issues and President Burt said he was unable to golf during that snow event. However, Ward said, “You can snow golf” and Burt responded: “I was thinking about painting one of my balls Bright Red.”

Luckily for Burt he has direct access to Santa (Director Riddle) and unless he’s been naughty, Santa might put in Burt’s Christmas stocking a couple of Red Balls.

PROBLEM

At the July 2021 Candidates Forum, there was a heated exchange between Candidate Jeff Parcel, Director Richard Ebers, resident Carol Orr and Santa/Riddle. Riddle was responding to Parcel’s comment. “I’m not going to listen to you Monty” and Riddle said, “Why because I don’t have any Balls.”

Meeting adjourned with no Executive Session required.
