The Villages at Mt. Hood made minor changes in its board of directors in the
June meeting.

Bob Reeves was unanimously approved to serve a second term as chair.
Pat Buckley, asking to step down as vice-chair gave the nod to the board to
serve as treasurer for the next term.

Board member Pat Sharp, recently voted in for a full term, was approved
unanimously to take Buckley’s seat in the vice-chair’s position.

Judith Norval was appointed the new secretary of the board.

Rhododendron SHA
In an attempt to improve the water system for the Rhododendron Summer
Home Association, President Steve Graeper announced the failure of the
association’s attempt to attract stimulus funds from county, state and federal
governments.

Graeper cited the reason as income levels in the 97049 zip code exceeds the
minimum qualification requirements for grants and the association is a private
non-governmental not-for-profit association, which makes it ineligible for
stimulus funds.

He indicated the board is exploring all options for funds but in all likelihood a
rate increase will be put in place in 2010.
