The meeting agenda will be the same as years past and will be shared on your screen during the meeting so you can follow along. Each Board member and Committee member will share their assigned reports. The 2021 annual budget will be displayed during the Treasurer report as well. Due to the expected number of participants, everyone will be automatically muted to prevent excessive noise. Any questions residents might have for the Board should be typed into the comment box for the organizer. During the allotted Q&A time, the questions will be presented to the Board for their response.  Due to the virtual nature of the meeting and in lieu of taking board nominations from the floor, write in nominations can be submitted via the mailed proxy ballot. And as with all prior annual meetings, the newly elected Board of Directors will be announced on the community website, www.ghpoa.com. Thank you for your continued support. We are looking forward to a new year.

Voting for Amendment Issue Ends

Voting for Amendment Issue Ends

Voting for the amendment to the GHPOA Declaration of Restrictions ended on Oct 31,2020.

The amendment was to add language to the Declaration which would clarify the proper procedures for changing the Declaration in the future. Specifically, the amendment would have lowered the percentage of votes necessary to make any changes to our Declaration which was adopted in 1979, and has become outdated. Any change currently requires 75% of the membership to approve. With a community of 2380 residents, this would be approval from 1785 residents.   The Board proposed this amendment in an effort to allow the community to be able to achieve having updated and relevant governing documents. These would provide a more conducive environment to protect the value of our community.

Unfortunately, the measure failed.  The final vote on this amendment was 772 in favor to 311 opposed, far short of the 1785 votes required.  We believe there were a number of reasons why this amendment was not sufficiently supported by our residents, many having to do with incorrect interpretations of the goal of the effort, despite the Board’s best efforts to provide correct information. This in turn created inaccurate messaging on social media which greatly hurt the effort. The Board will continue to look for ways to try to update our governing documents in an effort to fulfill our responsibility of protecting and enhancing property values.
