a. Bill reports nothing to add to the tentative confidential agreement with Coastal Shoring at this time.

b. AMA Amnesty is still delayed but we are getting there.  We want all information to be accurate and it’s not so easy with all the back records that have to be double checked.

c. Bill reports on the Pier gate repair status.  We tried a shortcut repair for the gate which did not work so the gate is open and we are waiting for parts to correctly repair the gate. 

d. Bill asked how we can repair the pier walkway and can it be done by Memorial Day weekend.  Randy and Billy say they can get it done by then. Ann noted there are some supplies in 1 Belaire that are probably needed for this repair. While we are talking about the pier Bill informs us that there were no lights on at the pier.  Tom had seen AEP (Electric Company) on the pier but did not know what they were doing.  Bill investigated and couldn’t determine where the problem was since the electric box was locked.  Harvey Holzman Electric was called and he determined that AEP had disconnected service by pulling the meter, turning it slightly and replacing it back.  The transfer orders from AEP to Nueces Co-op had not been received but Rose got in touch with the correct person and service was restored by 3:00 that same day. While Holzman Electric was at the pier, he enclosed a detailed list of electric hazards at the pier with his $75.00 service call bill.  Raymond Smith reported to Bill that the GFI plug was out at the fish cleaning sink and if we replace it, he will make a donation for the pier.

e. Ann Bagley has posted 4,782 Liens and Releases on the computer.  She is now checking to make sure all Lien Releases were posted.  In years past the association has at times released a lien, handed it to the homeowner and told them to go to the Courthouse and file it. Unfortunately everyone did not file their releases.  We also received notice of a judgment collected at the Aransas County Courthouse of which we could petition for the remainder of the judgment after fees, etc were paid.  The remainder would total $21.11.  The County also suggested that we might be able to educate the judge on how our lien’s work and how we might work our own petition in the judge’s chambers.

f. Rose reports that she has sold $1,000.00 worth of tickets for the raffle and hopes more have done the same.  Rose has also received more donations for the auction.  Some of these donations are an $85.00 deep massage, a hand painted duck decoy from Ann Bagley, $30.00 gift card from H.E.B. and a donation from The Griddle. Rose says that John Pavilka, our insurance man says he has a band and they will play at the Fish Fry.  Larry Meiser has donated a large tent. 

g. Bill has By Laws Revision #6 and reads them to verify changes were made. One suggestion was to change the number of board members needed for a quorum up to six or 2/3.  The date for the Membership Meeting and voting on this revision will now be May 3, 2008 at 10:00 a.m.  Walt Parker motioned to accept the proposed new By Laws revision as amended.  Jim Collins seconded the motion.  Walt Magness opposed. Motion carried.  Bill appointed a committee to
