SPECIAL MEETING
MARCH 16, 2026

ATTENDANCE: Joshua Lawrence, Jim Onik, Shawn Taber, Kelly Carrington

HOMEOWNERS: Brenda McGillen, Janet Hernandez, Karen Brock, John Brock, Michael Carrington, Bo Depaoli

PROXY VOTES: Bryan Schuch gives his proxy vote to Shawn Taber, Yolla Blair gives her proxy vote to Joshua Lawrence

Meeting was called to order at 6:32PM

  • Janet Hernandez expressed concerns as there are already flooding issues between her house, the neighboring house, and easement. This causes concerns about watershed management and what changes might planned.
  • Brenda McGillen commented that we should know what he is planning to do with the property exactly before reaching any decisions.
  • A resident (name not given) stated they intend to install a fence along the new proposed border. They believed an engineering study should be performed.
  • Brenda McGillen expressed her disapproval due to concerns over setting a precedent regarding selling off sections of PIRCA common areas.
  • John Brock stated that after reviewing our covenants and bylaws, he didn’t see that the board has the authority to sell common areas. Mr. Lawrence replied that the board consulted with legal counsel on the matter and had received guidance. John stated that he has consulted with his own attorney, who disagreed; explaining that while there is a provision for the management/care of common areas, this is very different than selling common areas.
  • John Brock expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of consensus from the overall voting body, stating that the number of responses is inconsequential compared to the number of actual residents.
  • Karen Brock expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of provided information; this led to a general discussion of how the process had been conducted. Several questions were asked regarding the specifics of the sale:
    • What is the sale price
    • Exactly how much property is being sold (as well as why there were discrepancies in the amount)
    • How is the sale price being determined
    • What is the process for selling the common areas to other interested parties in the future
  • Mr. Lawrence expressed frustration and apologized for the board’s inability to answer some questions raised as he was not part of the process. He further expressed frustration over the scheduling of the meeting in that the vote was already concluded prior to the meeting. He then inquired about the purpose of holding a meeting where the voting deadline had already passed and decisions were already made; a clear answer was not provided.
  • Ms. McGillen stated she is very upset that we are selling our common areas, especially since we have not sold them in the past yet are considering doing so in this case. She stated she does not approve of the way this has been handled.
  • With no further information or questions; the meeting was adjourned
