5.1    Proposed solar project: Jonathan spoke in regards to the solar project. Jonathan is still gathering all the information so it can be presented by the entire board detailing all the pros and cons. Mike meanwhile posted a “survey” on the Talmont google site with incomplete information on the project. This survey was not sent out by the Board of Directors. Jonathan was disappointed that it misrepresented the team; accurate info was not provided or evenly distributed making it confusing to the public. Conversation about being a team/group, not acting alone or putting out correspondence without the Boards consent.
Action: The Board will discuss at the next meeting a policy regarding social media, email, mailings and correspondence to the residents.
