Bay Harbor Improvement Association
Minutes of Annual Meeting
Saturday, June 10, 2017
President Charlie Winsor called the annual meeting of Bay Harbor Improvement Association to order at the pavilion at the boat basin at 5PM Saturday, June 10, 2017. A quorum was established with over41 property owners signing in and15 proxies. There were additional property owners who had not signed in and quite a few guests.
Charlie welcomed the group and encouraged everyone to get their neighbors to join the association. Charlie noted that lights and power had been added to the pavilion. The pavilion is for the use of association members and paid property owners may ask for use of the pavilion by contacting the secretary, Gail Choate. She will have the key that turns on the lights. Charlie also stated that the area has no trash receptacles so you must provide your own. Charlie also wanted to thank Tim Kurtin and Jack Hopkins for all their help with the pavilion. Charlie also voiced a bit of honest humor when he said in case of a hurricane, tie yourself to the pilings, cause the pavilion will stay.
The President asked for a reading of the minutes of the past meeting. The secretary asked that the reading be waived and a motion was made by May Bonno and seconded to accept the minutes as distributed. Motion carried.
