Procedures Governing the Operations of Committees
The Board of Directors (BOD) may designate an Executive Committee and one or more other committees, each to consist of two or more directors of the Association. The Board may also appoint other homeowners as members.
The BOD may create an Architectural and Landscaping Review Committee (ALRC) consisting of three or more persons appointed by the Board, or, in the Board’s discretion, the Board from time to time may constitute itself as the ALRC.
Other committees shall have such functions and may exercise such powers of the BOD as can be lawfully delegated. They are subject to the same rules as the Board when the committee will be making a final decision regarding the expenditure of funds. Funding decisions will be retained by the BOD who may allocate funds for each given project; committees must operate within the parameters provided them by the BOD. Operation of committees will be in accordance with Florida statutes and the Association By-Laws.
Meetings of the committees may be held without notice to the residents of Lakeside Townhomes. Meetings may be called by any member of the committee thereof upon two-day’s notice of the date, with date, time and place of the meeting being given to each of the other members of such committees. A majority of the total members of the committee shall constitute a quorum.
Committees shall keep regular minutes of proceedings and report the same to the BOD when required.
Committees shall act within the requirements and guidance of the Board for each project. Tasking of the Property Manager or vendors shall be accomplished through the BOD.
It was moved by Walter Evans and seconded by David Taylor that Alan Schneider serve with David Taylor on the Landscape Committee and Vicki Glennon serve with Tom Williams on the Communications Committee. The motion was accepted unanimously.

David Taylor moved and Alan Schneider seconded a motion directing the Lakeside Townhome attorney to prepare an amendment to Article 7, Section 1, page 9 of the Association By-Laws for approval at the Annual Meeting, said amendment adjusting By-Law language to reflect that one or more of the Association directors serve on each committee, rather than two or more directors serving.
