President’s Comments (Attachment)
President Ernie Uhr opened the meeting with comments highlighting the working session of the Board on October 16, 2007.  Ernie announced the Cypress Landing Endowment Scholarship Fund at the Beaufort Community College has passed the $5000 milestone. Helen Sommerkamp was recognized for her leadership in this endowment. 
Ernie announced the funds have been committed from the Buildings and Grounds budget to: remove columns and replace the dance floor in the Bay Club - $6500; replace Bay Club walkway lights to increase visibility - $4000; and replace the four Cypress Landing entrance flags - $1400.
The president asked that residents cooperate with Buildings and Grounds efforts to identify opportunities to share spaces in the storage lots so the residents on the waiting list can be accommodated.
Ernie announced the formation of an Ad Hoc Community Tree Management Review Committee to develop a Tree Management Program that preserves the park like setting of the community.  The committee will recommend changes to existing policies and guidelines taking into account the needs and concerns of individual property owners.  It will also prepare an information document which identifies trees that are suitable for this community and climate.  Bill Lord will be the Board Liaison.
Ernie reported that the Board plans to vigorously pursue funding in the near future for the Bay Club Handicap Access Driveway.  The Board believes a super majority of the Cypress Landing Community is willing to approve funding for the Bay Club Handicap Access Driveway and intends to call a special meeting of the Homeowner’s Association to vote on the required assessment.
 
Open Forum
            Dan Bergbauer’s question concerning the Golf Ad Hoc Committee was delayed until new business.
Jim Kloiber raised a point in regards to the HOA Annual Election of the Board of Directors.  He believes the election is flawed because all residents did not vote for four (4) candidates. He would like a recount.  The Board will not do a recount.
Reg Smith asked if there were three (3) bids received for the proposed Handicap Access Driveway.  The answer was no.  Reg feels that the B&G should explain why.
