Meeting & Information Announcement

May 16, 2020
Update on membership meetings meetings and COVID19 news related to beaches
Meetings:  There will be another special BOG meeting on Thursday, May 21, and a regular BOG meeting on Thursday, May 28.  Watch the website www.blackpointbeachclub.com  for postings of times, agendas, and teleconference access number.  Public comments will be heard at the regular meeting on May 28.  Please continue to email concerns and questions to bog@blackpointbeachclub.com before then.
Budget:  The annual membership meeting has been postponed indefinitely.  As you may know, the BOG was directed to to adopt a budget without a public vote by Executive Order 7I.  The board proposed a budget and mill rate (see minutes of April 23 meeting), which it will vote to adopt on May 28.  However, this budget was proposed before potential expenses related to COVID could be considered, so it is possible that there will be discussion and modification of the proposed budget before voting to adopt on May 28.
Elections to Board of Governors  (2 seats): The governor has determined (Executive Order 7OO) that municipalities and quasi-municipal corporations ( BPBCA) must hold elections of officials between the dates of June 27 and June 30, using remote means if possible, and that no other business can be addressed at that meeting. The Board will discuss the procedures necessary for this process and inform the membership via the website.
Beaches: DEEP will publish a detailed operations plan early this week that municipalities may adapt to their needs, which will be published online at www.ct.gov/DEEP/Parks.  In addition, we expect an update of executive orders related to COVID,  that are effective until at least May 20, by that date.
Please keep in mind, as we all try to balance recreation with safety, that facemasks “are meant to protect other people in case you are infected” (CDC, April 24).   (CDC, April 24). This practice is for the good of our friends and neighbors.  Let’s all try to take care of ourselves and each other this summer.

BPBCA BOG April 23rd, 2020 Meeting Information

April 19, 2020

BOG meeting, April 23:  Clarification and Procedure

Dear Members,

As many of you know, the BOG must adopt a budget without a public vote this year (see “Budget Adoption Announcement” posted April 4 on the website).  With the help of legal council, we have arrived at a procedure which will allow for as much membership participation as possible.

At the April 23 BOG meeting, the proposed budget will be reviewed, but not adopted.  The meeting will be held via teleconference, and members will be recognized to speak during Public Comments.  Following the BOG vote to present the proposed budget and mill rate for membership review and comment, the results will be posted on the association website. 

The BOG vote to adopt the budget and mill rate for 2020-2021 will take place during the May 28 meeting, and results posted on the website.

The current proposed budget is posted.  If changes are made to the proposal, that will be posted following the April 23 meeting.

To access the April 23 BOG meeting at 6PM, call in at (425) 436-6363, using either landline or cell phone.  When asked for a pin, it is 436260. After a brief wait, you will hear the proceedings.  When it is time for Public Comments, instructions for “raising your hand” will be provided by the Chair.

The meeting will be recorded and posted on our website.

Following the meeting, comments from the membership are welcome at bog@blackpointbeachclub.com.  These will be reviewed and considered prior to the May 28 BOG vote to adopt.

We are looking forward to the day when we can all reunite in person.

Cheryl Colangelo, Chairs

Budget Adoption Announcement

April 4, 2020
Budget adoption
 
To the members of Black Point,
Another casualty of the pandemic is our ability to congregate as a community in order to govern ourselves until the crisis abates.  While many issues can wait, we must address the budget in order to determine the mill rate and collect taxes for the fiscal year starting July 1.
The governor recently issued executive orders, particularly EO 7I,  in regards to public meetings and budget adoptions.  We have consulted with our attorney to clarify how this affects us all.  In summary, there can be no vote on the budget by members this year.  The BOG, as the “budget making authority”, is directed to adopt a budget and set a mill rate without an annual meeting vote.
The BOG will hold the regular meeting of April 23 remotely, with provisions for the public to listen in.  As with all BOG meetings, the agenda and relevant documents will be posted prior to the meeting and minutes will be posted following the meeting.
When we determine the most effective vehicle for members to access the meeting in real time, we will post that information and directions.
Rest assured that the Board does not take this responsibility lightly, and that we will work together in the best interests of all Black Pointers.
Be well.
Cheryl Colangelo, Chair
