PORT LUDLOW VILLAGE COUNCIL
Workshop Meeting Minutes
May 22, 2007
The meeting was convened at 3 p.m. at the Bay Club. Present were Larry Nobles, Don Clark, Tom McCay, Bill Browne, Adele Govert, Gene Carmody, Allen Panasuk, Tony Durham, Frank Siler, Lani McCarry and Vaughn Bradshaw. (Absent: Suzanne Graber)
There were 4 guests in attendance.
Items discussed included:
New Board member: Vaughn Bradshaw was introduced as the new LMC Board president.
Treasurer Report: Gene Carmody explained the changes he was making in the account balances, merging some and placing added funds in accounts bearing higher interest.
Funfest: While the efforts are off to a fast and well organized start, there is need for added community involvement. The next Funfest meeting is scheduled for June 13, 9 a.m. at the Beach Club. Interested volunteers are invited to attend.
Insurance: There have been no replies to the RFPs on PLVC’s two policies. The general liability policy has been renewed for a year and second (Officers and Directors Liability Insurance), which does not come due until later in the year, will be reviewed again.
Resort Core Update: The county is seeking an independent appellant hearing examiner. Currently responses to phone calls by board members to county offices concerning the status of the hearing plans and scheduling have been tardy. Bradshaw said that involved parties, including LMC, have agreed to mediation and a mediator is being identified.
Communications Committee Report: Key communicators (~150 residents) have been surveyed to get a pulse on community priorities. The highest interest was to develop a single community and not one divided by the Bay. The residents surveyed are looking at PLVC as a leader in the process of bringing the community together.
It appears that most community residents do not recognize the PLVC’s role in community events/undertakings (i.e. Natural Resources/Trails Committee, Phone Directory preparation and publication, Friday Market, Funfest, etc.). These are community events/activities offered to residents under the umbrella of the PLVC.
Critical Areas Ordinance: The County is reviewing rules that could affect each homeowners rights to manage the landscape (tree cutting) on their property. An informational meeting, including LMC and SBCA together with other interested parties (PLVC CDC, i.e.) with a representative of the County DCD will be held in late June. This meeting with the County regarding tree issues within the Critical Area Ordinance will be held at the Beach Club on June 27 at 3 P.M. It will be in everyone's interest to attend, as it affects our ability to maintain cutting, trimming and view maintenance issues.
One Port Ludlow: Discussed the possibilities of bringing the officers of LMC, SBCA and PLVC together and opening a discussion regarding improved cooperation and relations among the residents of Port Ludlow. A process was outlined for defining and developing plans, and then monitoring and/or adjusting those plans to address priority issues that come before the Council. It is recommended that Board members make a copy and review the attached process for future reference. (See attached exhibits 1-4)
Port Ludlow Medical Facility: Allan Panasuk summarized the discussions with medical practices in Jefferson County Health Care regard to opening a local facility. Suitable property has not been identified at this time.
Meeting ended 5:25 p.m.
There were no motions made and no votes taken.
Respectfully,
Bill Browne
PLVC Secretary (05/22/07)
