1. Election of officers (all board members reelected to offices held in prior fiscal year);
2. Participation in and funding of Template Initiative for rewrite of governing documents (to be paid from contingency funds);
3. New procedure for approval of minutes (ministerial vote to approve subject to 14 day period for objection — see note below re substantive challenges);
4. Replacement of website with HOAExpress platform (subject to successful 30 day free trial);
5. Hiring of replacement bookkeeper;
6. Related modification of insurance (possible because bookkeeper carries her own insurance);

The 14 day deadline to submit corrections to the minutes is to correct inaccuracies or errors in the minutes. Absent such a correction, the minutes will become final on September 22, 2026. The deadline for substantive challenges to board action taken during the meeting is 90 days after the minutes become final. See RCW 64.90.445(l).
