Date:    July 14th, 2020  7:00 pm  

Meeting held at the Amber Meadow Pool

Attendance:   Kyle Kuhlman, Matt Stevens, Patrick Thurmond, Karen Bartelli

Home Owners Present:  Mike Bretton, Lucy Nolana, and Paul Mwaniki 

Motions and Approval of Minutes:   

  • Previous Meeting minutes were approved by vote of board
  • Board voted to waive Robert’s Rules of Conduct

Old Action Items

  • 4/14/2020:  Reschedule Garage Sale dates  hold due to Covid – canceled fall sale , will have one in the spring 

Discussion items:

  • Patrick Thurmond reports there was an episode of verbal abuse at the Pool.  This “episode” included an adult male and a younger male child (7-10 years of age), making verbal statements regarding race/ethnicity to other homeowners entering the Pool.  These individuals have been identified on video and at this time are not believed to be Amber Meadow residents.  The Board would like to make it known that these types of statements violate the physical/verbal abuse policy and will not be tolerated.  The Board has spoken to the homeowners who were on the receiving end of these comments and although we can not erase the fact that this occurred we apologize on behalf of all homeowners.  Please be on alert and speak up if you hear any such speech and/or connect the authorities.  

Because of our current pool access system we are unable to connect these two individuals to an Amber Meadows residence.  This is just another unfortunate incident that is pushing the board towards purchase of a new pool access system that will log individual homeowner access into the pool with day/time identification.
