Committee Reports
Fitness Center co chair Steve Smith reported that all is running smoothly at the Fitness Center.  He reported that two (2) treadmills needed a belt replaced.  This is the normal routine of equipment maintenance.  FC usage is flat or somewhat down for the year.
Marketing Committee – no report
Building and Grounds co-chairman reported the HVAC system is under assessment by Air Care of Washington.  The outdoor lighting project along the sidewalk to the Bay Club is delayed until July due to back order of lighting.  The 2008 Beautification/Regreening plan is complete.  The quarterly storm water inspections were recently completed.  Two sizable sinkholes were filled and ground work conducted around the sites between Fair View and Fair Oaks Road.  All of the dams are relatively dry.  Numerous culverts were found to be filling with sediment and vegetation.  FC driveway has begun to deteriorate again after last years repair.  The contractor will be contacted.  The committee is continuing to labor to save sizable sums and defray high maintenance issues on behalf of the Cypress Landing Homeowners.

New Business
Bay Club Pool Rules Revisions – Larry Howard voiced a concern with the behavior/safety of residents and guests at the Bay Club Pool if guests are allowed to be at the pool without their host.  He feels it is the responsibility of the residents to assure their guests are behaving accordingly.  If guests are allowed to use the pool without the resident host, who will monitor the guests behavior/safety?  Tomi Moody explained the pool monitors will be enforcing the rules and monitor behavior.  Pool monitors begin Memorial Day weekend and will be on a floating schedule. John Moore asked if the residents at the pool have some responsibility enforcing the rules.  The residents do if they feel comfortable doing so. Being no further discussion, Larry Howard moved and Kathy Lawson seconded the motion to accept the 2008 Revised Bay Club Pool Rules. (Attachment)
Kayak Storage Usage – A resident was given permission to store his inflatable on the Kayak racks near the docks.  A complaint was issued to the board as to why he was given permission since it is not a kayak or canoe.  He was given permission because there was extra room on the racks. The Board decided to allow the resident to continue to use the Kayak rack to store his inflatable.  If there is a need to have a lottery for a spot next year, the resident will have to remove his inflatable at that time.  Tomi will notify the resident.

Signal Flags – Jim Kloiber asked that the flags in front of the Bay Club be checked and replaced if too tattered and torn.  Tomi will look into it.
 
Discussion Topics:    
AD HOC Voting Material – Board Liaison Kathy Lawson presented a draft the committee has compiled to date. Kathy presented the revised Nominating Committee Charter and the Election/Voting Committee Charter.  Time was spent comparing the two charters and correcting any misstated facts etc. It was suggested that the Nominating Committee Charter become a job description instead of a charter.  Charlie Moore envisions the nominating committee and the election/voting committee becoming one committee.  Some time was spent on the responsibilities of the various groups involved in the election/voting process.  The Board also looked at a new policy establishing a review and comment period before voting.  No action was taken on any of the material.  The AD HOC Voting Committee will bring back a revised package to the June 17, 2008 meeting.
