I think we may have to make a revision to the new voting procedures as we just might have a legal problem relating to the absentee vote. It has come to my attention that at least 2 homeowners to date were denied the right to attain an absentee ballot because their request was after the July 1st deadline. It was pointed out that there is no reasonable possibility of predicting unforeseen events a month ahead of time such as a death in the family or an invitation to an event & so on. By not allowing a person to obtain a absentee ballot under these circumstances is in effect denying their right to vote & probably not legal under the voting right laws. We need to rethink the July 1st deadline & allow people to obtain a ballot to vote right up to the day before election. We have also had homeowners say they do not want to stay fora meeting to vote. They just want to drop off their ballots & go. Something to consider such as early voting.
The Board has voted to allow Management to purchase a 2016 Chevy Impala to replace the old Chevy. It was by far the best deal of all they looked at. Hopefully it will give us the same good performance the old Chevy did. The out the door price was $16,675 with a year bumper to bumper warranty by the dealer & the remaining warranty by GM which is 60000 miles or 2020.We will probably have to replace the Jeep next year pending on performance & repairs.
Last Thursday Bernie & I & our engineer met with the Town to discuss the parking lot situation. Bernie will give you the details in his report. I thought the meeting went as well as can be expected.
I'm sure you all saw that F&F paving was in this week working on our roads. Hopefully the inconvenience was short.
