Mr. Bird gave a concise history of Mr. Garner's acquisition of Stoneridge. He purchased it out of bankruptcy and as such is the successor-in-interest to Bonner Company. Mr. Bird reviewed the voting rights as outlined in the Articles of Incorporation including cumulative voting and the subsection reading "there shall be no proxies permitted." The nominees Harold Pinkham, Donna Brown, Gloria Lawrence, Clark Likkel, Robert Ord, Paul Cook, and James Ackerman gave brief background introductions. Arnold Fluckiger was not present. Mr. Cunningham wanted the meeting recessed to give the lot owners who were present time to caucus without Mr. Garner present.

Susan Stewart counted the votes and gave the result to Mr. Bird. The results were as follows: Harold Pinkham 226 Donna Brown 217 Gloria Lawrence 217 Clark Likkel 217 Arnold Fluckiger Robert Ord 217 Paul Cook 217 James Ackerman 217 Keith Garner 217 Larry Cunningham 225 Mr. Cunningham expressed satisfaction at serving on the Board with Mr. Garner. Because nine Directors constitutes the Board and eight nominees each received 217 votes, Mr. Garner withdrew. At present the officers are President Keith E. Garner and Secretary Susan Stewart. There was discussion related to how payment is made for services such as snow removal which are provided to the Association. Mr. Garner has been footing these bills. In light of this the need to establish maintenance fees and what services are necessary was deemed appropriate and timely. Further discussion of this issue was tabled until the next annual meeting. Harold Pinkham had scheduled Interstate Concrete to begin this month the paving of Berkshire, Hanaford and Chatwold streets as initially proposed to Mr. Garner at the June 19, 1996 Annual Meeting. This was delayed until Spring of 1997 to allow questions concerning lake runoff and other physical problems regarding hard surface roads to be answered. Mr. Pinkham was a little dismayed since he would have to contact lot owners a second time but acquiesced. Gail Weaver raised the issue of an increase in trespassers on private property. Other members expressed uneasiness about the lack of access to on-site contacts for the Association since LSSPOA's officers both resided in Salt Lake City. It was requested that someone be appointed to deal with owners here in Blanchard. Mr. Pinkham suggested Donna Brown. Without opposition the members concurred and Mrs. Brown, a Board member, consented to being the contact for Association members at Stoneridge. Members were invited to stay for refreshments. Thirty three lot owners were in attendance. Roll attached.

Keith Garner, the Association President and the Class B Member of the Association, conducted the meeting. Linda Brehm was recognized from the floor. She introduced the O'Sheas and the Troutmans. She also expressed thanks to Harold Pinkham for his collection of the monies from the Owners along the new paved roads according to his Agreement with Keith Garner. It was noted that Mr. Garner had performed according to his agreement even though a few owners had still not participated. Harold Pinkham was then recognized and expressed thanks to Clark Likkel, Tom Brown, Doug Phares and Donna Brown for their good work which contributes to making Stoneridge such a nice community in which to live. Mr. Garner introduced Arnold Fluckiger and Robert Ord. Mr. Fluckiger spoke about his background as an architect, his association over many years with Mr. Garner and his enthusiasm for the Stoneridge project. Mr. Garner gave his feelings regarding the new types of timeshare operations which are now being marketed. He has mixed feelings as a developer about preserving the quiet peaceful undiscovered nature of Stoneridge and the chance to bring in more people. He was interested to know lot owners feelings. Mr. Fenske challenged the meeting on the grounds that in order to be in harmony with the Articles of Incorporation it needed to be held on the first Saturday in June. Mr. Garner introduced David Bird to conduct the meeting. Susan Stewart read the minutes. Gail Weaver said she had been given credit for raising the issue about trespassers but she had not been present. She stated it is an issue of concern. Mr. Bird explained again that these annual meetings were conducted very informally and until Mr. Garner acquired Stoneridge from Ted Nelson/Bonner Company Bankruptcy may not have been held at all. Further Mr. Garner was interested in following the Articles of Incorporation and Declaration and due to an accommodation of schedules the Annual Meeting was being held on this date. Steve Smith, an attorney invited by the Fenske's, question the validity of the meeting since it was not being held as stated in the Articles. John Galley asked when the Board had met to elect officers. Mr. Bird stated this was informal but the officers and their duties were in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation. Gail Weaver stated she didn't want there to be an adversarial relationship any longer. Steve Smith challenged Mr. Bird's ability to verify this meeting as the Annual Meeting since he is not an Idaho attorney. Mr. Bird asked Mr. Smith if he wanted to have the meeting dismissed and wait until next year for an annual meeting. Mr. Smith said to go ahead with the meeting as the Annual Meeting for 1997. Fenske was concerned about notices, maximum participation, when the roads would be deeded to the Association, who was responsible far the improvements, what liability the Association had, the cost of maintenance, what the speed limit was...He also wanted to know who could call Board of Directors meeting. Mr. Bird in answer to these questions noted that most of these issues are covered in the Articles of Incorporation and Declaration as follows: notices are to go out no later than ten days prior to the meeting and not sooner than 45 days; roads are to be deeded to Association five years after completion; four directors can call a Board meeting; the cost of road maintenance should be borne by the Association but is now paid for by Mr. Garner. In addition liability insurance is now carried by Mr. Garner but not the Association. Speed limits should conform with the Motor Vehicle code for residential areas. Fred Ghio described trespasser problems. One solution is to call the police. Mr. Ghio wondered about making this a gated community. Mr. Bird pointed out this would be an expense for which lot owners would need to be assessed. Mr. Fenske asked for assurance regarding the water quality. Clark Likkel responded that tests are done regularly in conformance with mandated requirements. No problems have been identified. Mrs. Fenske also asked for a clarification regarding full golf memberships tied to the sale of lots. Susan Stewart responded that this requirement is only for new lot sales and is not retroactive to existing lot owners who choose to sell their property. Mrs. Weaver asked about road signs being put in on the other side of the lake. No decision was reached but it was pointed out this was once again an expense lot owners were asking Mr. Garner to carry. Mr. Ghio asked about golf and rec facilities. Donna Brown told him the full golf members purchase includes privileges at the Carefree Recreation Center but Platinum does not. However, this new recreation building is open to the public. Mr. Cunningham asked about the addition of 101 lots. Mr. bird responded they would be annexed as provided in the Articles of Incorporation and Declaration when they were approved by the government entities involved. Mrs. Weaver stated these concerns could be an agenda item for the new board. Discussion ceased and Mr. Bird called for the election of the Board. Mr. Galley nominated Larry Cunningham; Mr. Littlemore seconded. There were no further nominations from the floor. Mr. Bird explained the rules of voting including cumulative voting. The proposed list of candidates submitted by Mr. Garner, Class B member, stood. Official ballots were distributed.

Susan Stewart, the Association Secretary, conducted the meeting. She turned the floor over to Gail Weaver to read a letter from Linda Brehm, an Association Director, to the members of the Association asking that she not be considered for a directorship for the next year and informing all that she and Alex had lost a son, 34, this very day. Gail gave the address for anyone wishing to send condolences of 317 Hanaford. Donna Brown read the minutes from the last Association Annual Meeting. There were no additions or corrections and were approved as read. Susan stated that there were four agenda items submitted by members of the Association. The first concerned Water tests. The Stoneridge Water Company had reported a bad test which was followed by four clean tests. Suzie King mentioned due to their water business experience that they had looked at our system and she reported it's good. The second concerned road speed limits and enforcement. This is a problem which is difficult to address since the roads are private property and to hire anyone to enforce the limits would require funds. The third concerned the procedure of minutes, reading, reporting and distributing. The articles do not require anything more than is now being done. However, this could be done if fees were collected to pay expenses of copying and mailing. The fourth concerned an Amendment to allow proxies by Class A membership. Many of the owners were absent. After some discussion Charles King moved we establish a proxy amendment. Larry Cunningham seconded. The motion carried. Nominees for the Board were introduced: Harold Pinkham, James Ackerman, Dorothy Tompkins, Larry Cunningham, Donna Brown, Keith Rusho, Keith Garner, Tom Brown and Doug Phares. Dick Corbit moved we elect all of the nominees by acclamation without balloting. Chuck King seconded and the motion passed. Tracy Ackerman asked about meters being read and discussion followed about water usage, consumption, rates, etc. Chuck King asked about Full Golf Members vs. Platinum users of Course and Carefree Rec Center. He was referred to the Stoneridge Country Club Rules Book which outlines membership classes and privileges. Twenty-three members were in attendance. The meeting adjourned at 8:15 p.m.
