The Ballots regarding the proposed Amendments to the By-Laws were
counted by a committee composed of two volunteers from the members
present and two board members.
Volunteer George Paskert opened the sealed ballots and handed the ballot to volunteer Mary C. Berry who announced the member name on the ballot and whether YES or NO was checked on the ballot. She then placed the ballot in the appropriately marked YES or NO container. Board members Susan Leydon and Phyllis NeSmith checked the name announced against the membership list. A total of 106 ballots were opened.
The ballots in each container were counted.
The results were:
YES ballots -- 91
NO ballots -- 15
The proposed Amended By-Laws passed by 86% which was over the 2/3 needed. A committee will now re-district LGI into 5 districts of approximately 150 owners in each district.
By Jan. 26, 2010, a letter will be sent to all islanders informing them of their new district if the Survey results from the County, to be reported January 8th at the Advisory Committee meeting, are positive.
Then a new 5 member board will be elected by all islanders. The time line and requirements for applicants interested in running for the new board will be included in the Jan. 26 letter.
The LGIFR Board will meet on Jan. 9, 2010 at Chuck Soderquist’s home at 10:00 AM.

Draft of a status letter to all islanders was presented by Judy McCoy. Board members will email their additions or corrections to Judy by Tuesday, February 10.
In response to our flyers asking for new board members, one person, Paul Madsen, responded. He is a part-time resident of LGI. The board nominated Susan Leydon to a seat on the board and she is considering whether to accept. Linda Soderquist was also suggested by board members and she will be contacted.
LGPOA decided it did not need to keep a seat on the Fire Board, and its delegate, David Haynes has indicated he will send a formal letter of resignation. This means there are three vacancies on the board.
The Board agreed to contract with Michael Anderson $500 a month to maintain its equipment and to store it at his house, and to provide the use of his house as an outpost for Charlotte County Fire and EMS personnel when they respond to calls on LGI.
