Guest speaker for the evening was Tommy Nolan from Montgomery City Planning
Control.

The Treasurer’s report was presented and is attached to these minutes.

Minutes for the January meeting were approved as read.

Terry Robinson reported our issue to be presented to the Board of Adjustment was postponed, through no fault of the association, to February 16, 2006 at 5:00 PM. Our contact for the Board neglected to add our item to the agenda.

Lynn Bryant reported the Capitol Heights Angels are now planning to work on the siding for the Merrill’s home on Saturday, February 25th. Weather has been a major cause for the delay in completing this project.

The attached proposal for changes to the Bylaws was presented to the members present. Discussion of these proposed changed will continue at the next regular meeting.
