John turned the floor over to Mr. Todd Billly, J.D. who shared his role in updating Dougherty Lake’s current indentures (which many homeowners feel is outdated) with new updated indentures using current language. Part of the process was Dougherty Lake becoming a Not for Profit Association which helps protect the trustees. For more information see attached full report from Mr. Billy.
Question from the floor: Are the proposed indentures totally new or an update of the old indentures? Answer by Mr. Billy was that they are totally new.
Trustee Carel Reynolds clarified that the trustees have spent considerable time making sure relevant parts of the old indentures were included in the new proposed indentures. After the trustees finish updating the proposed indentures, they will be mailed to every homeowner for review. A meeting will be set in the future to allow homeowners to bring their questions and comments to the Trustees and Mr. Billy for full clarification. All homeowners will vote on the indentures at a future date tbd.
