New Business:

Motion to Borrow $100,000 and Motion to Access $50: Ray Sturch made a motion that due to the uncertainty associated with accurately predicting income and expenses of the Association because of unpredictable amenity usage, cost increases, as well as natural events out of our control, such as weather events and failure of high dollar capital items that require repair make it advisable to:
