MOTION: That the Board directs the General Manager to publish the attached proposed changes to the Clubhouse Policy 5.10 and Rule R-5.10.20 which would allow the General Manager to sponsor outside individuals and groups to use the LWA Clubhouse facilities (Cedar Room, Meeting Room and Pine Room). These changes would also allow sales presentations and events with “commercial overtones” in the Clubhouse if a fee is paid. This new fee would be addressed in the Association’s fee schedule.

He recommended that outside caterers pay a fee such as $500 and be in possession of a kitchen license and insurance. Director Doscher mentioned a possible staffing problem with the Clubhouse restaurant, if it were asked to work all of the banquets. President Domagala talked about liability issues.

It was suggested that we check with our accountants regarding commercial events and associated fees and our 501c4 non profit status.

MOTION: That the Board tables the motion and refines the language in the rule changes.

The motion was unanimously carried.

President Domagala reminded Members of several changes in the Davis-Stirling Act as regards to conduct at Community Association Board of Directors’ meetings.

Board of Directors’ actions could only occur after proper agenda notice was given to Members prior to a Board of Directors’ Meeting. The Board could take action without notice only in instances of an emergency situation, or if the Board was meeting in Executive Session. Members were reminded of the three minute rule when making a presentation.
