August 7, 2020 Fellow Homeowners, Last night, the Board of Directors met in a special meeting and approved extending the voting for acceptance of new CCR’s and Bylaws to November 16, 2020 at 5:00 PM local time. Just under 29% of the members have yet to vote.  As president, I will continue to ask the BOD to extend the vote until we have a clear consensus on approval or rejection of these documents.  At the beginning of this process, I was told by those knowledgeable of it that it may take a year.  I am optimistic that we can have an outcome before the end of 2020.   Based on recent comments that suggest confusion about what is in our…

We as a Board have received some questions about the extension of the vote, specifically whether the vote can be extended when conducting the vote by secret ballot. We have consulted with the Association’s legal counsel, who informed us that the Oregon Planned Community Act expressly allows the Board to extend the vote even when voting by secret ballot.
