President’s Newsletter for January 2009

First of all - a special thanks to Mary Lou Heslop, Treasurer 2006 through 2008, for her dedication and commitment to ensuring our books were always up to date and balanced to the penny! We wish her the very best and know she will be spending her free time with family and watching her grand kids grow and have fun.

At this time, we welcome Sherri Roby as the new SCRA Treasurer. Mary Lou and Sherri have reviewed the books for a smooth and seamless transition.

We also appreciate Adam Stuart for the time and effort he dedicated to the Board and Association during his tenure. We bid Adam farewell and welcome Joel Stewart to the Board and look forward to working with him. Joel brings a wealth of knowledge and most of all, enthusiasm for supporting the Association.

For those of you who signed up at our November General Meeting to be involved on committees, and met to start the ball rolling on gathering information on gated communities, we couldn’t have gotten this much information and action without you – we are really working together as a cohesive Association and it is amazing what can be accomplished when we work together as a team – again, a debt of gratitude to you all.

Many thanks to those of you who have donated to the SCRA Legal Fund. Our lawyer is proceeding as planned, and we are still waiting to hear the exact date of our meeting with Cache County. We will keep you posted on this.

As a Board, we are discussing the issue of keys and hunting permits to equalize the fairness of each paying Association member, and how we can better support your needs within the guidance of the By Laws.

On the matter of “draft minutes” after consulting with various counties, cities, and the State of Utah, the general consensus is “the minutes are not minutes until they have been read and approved at the next meeting”; therefore, draft minutes will not be posted on the web. However, we will keep open lines of communication and post our meeting agendas, and as soon as the minutes are read and approved, they will be posted to the web in a timely manner. Remember – if something is considered sensitive and close hold it should not be posted in the interest of the Association, you can contact me and I will update you.

Mark your calendars for March, 10 2009 for the March General Meeting, It will start at 7:00 p.m. at the Marriott‑Slaterville City Offices, 1570 W. 400 N., Ogden UT 84404. From I-15 take Exit # 346 (400 North) turn East and travel just past Toads (old Mulligans Mini-Golf) and you’ll see the offices. Looking forward to seeing you all.Happy New Year and most of all – be safe in the snow whether driving in town, or enjoying the great snow while snowmobiling at Scare Canyon !!
