Sign-in sheet attached.
A quorum is present.
Secretary Report- Bethany requested to establish assigned duties for website, Facebook page,
Reservations, Calendar, and email responses. Glenn Hunter (Chairman) proposed to form a committee
with himself, Bethany (Secretary), Charlee Thompson, Vonda, and Phyllis. Lisa Kirby offered to join
committee as she has experience/degree in web design, etc… Glenn tabled this request to see what
the committee needs were once the committee met. The chairman for this committee will be chosen
at the first meeting. Motion made, seconded, and vote was to approve committee.
Membership Report – Jesse reported that 2000 keys were purchased from Keaton and through the
transition of supplies he is missing a lot- Evelyn (Treasurer) stated she just picked up the remainder
from Keaton this past week and made arrangements to get them to Jesse. Jesse reported that each box
has a quantity of 250; however each box has 5 extra keys in them.
Minutes from November’s meeting – presented by Linda (filled in for Bethany) were read and
approved.
2021 Budget Report – Evelyn presented the upcoming budget that was reviewed in the budget
meeting the week before and a motion was made, seconded, and vote was to approve the 2021
budget.
1. Request was made to review the following attorney invoices:
4/18/20-Ck# 3190-$1820 10/23/20- Ck#- $3400.65
7/10/20-Ck# 3242- $2419.20 8/8/20- Ck# 3256- $935.65
Check’s # 3190 & 3291.
2. Bethany asked if TREPO had a credit card, Evelyn answered yes and Bethany asked if the card
was being used for purchases at restaurants and member money should not be used to pay for
meals. John Bryant (Card Holder) stated that they have not intentionally used the TREPO credit
card and if he pulled the wrong one out he would make it right. Bethany stated she was given
the information right before she got to the meeting and did not have a copy of the info with
her.
CORRECTION: Bethany obtained the “receipt” for breakfast and emailed it to Evelyn. Evelyn reviewed
the receipt and responded to Bethany and Board the card used was a Visa and TREPO has an American
Express, therefore, TREPO funds were not used to pay for this breakfast.
**Note from Bethany(Secretary) – I would like to express my apologies to Evelyn, board members, and
members of TREPO for jumping the gun on this without researching it further before bringing it to a
meeting of the board.
OLD BUSINESS
 From November 2020 meeting –Bethany stated Per Bylaws the President (Terri Hester) is the
official spokesperson of the corporation and the Secretary (Bethany Pierce) handles all
correspondence for the corporation which includes making the Agenda for meetings that the
chairman must follow per RONR (12th ed.) 47:33(10).  Bethany presented the board with a “Member Question Form” for members to complete prior
to the meeting and turn into the secretary so they can be called before the end of the meeting
to speak. Board reviewed, motions made, seconded, and vote taken and Form was approved.
o Jesse Crane stated he could get a podium for members to speak from.  Linda Hizer board seat status- Tom Trammel read a statement as to why Linda should not have
her board seat. However, I asked for a copy to complete minutes to attach to minutes and have
not received. Tom Trammel stated in his written notes at the meeting, that Linda gave up the
appointed seat because she ran for office and did not get elected. There was a motion and a
second as well as a vote – Linda is not on board.
o Linda responded that she was told by the board she had to run to keep the seat. Linda
stated she would not have run for office had she known this would take her from the
seat, which is now occupied by Tom Trammel.  Who is A and B? – Need to clarify A&B Board member seats. Bethany had researched this and
found the following and read to the board:
o Group A* – Charlee Thompson, Joan Nano, Mike Wilson, Phyllis Rea.
o Group B* – Charlie Arnett, Glenn Hunter, John Bryant, Tom Trammel, Sammy Keen.
* This will be further researched for a complete list and presented at a later meeting.  Suwannee County Restrictions & Covenants sent out incorrectly – This was presented to the
