VM Meeting Notes, Jan. 2012: VMs Pass Bulk of Changes to Westchase Rules

After lacking enough votes to pass amendments to Westchase’s governing rules in November, VMs opened 2012 by passing all but two of the proposed changes. At the November meeting of the Westchase Voting Members (VMs), VM absenteeism prevented attending VMs from mustering enough votes to pass proposed amendments to the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CCRs), Bylaws or Residential Guidelines. VMs therefore agreed to retain the homeowners polls on the CCRs and Bylaws changes and carry them forward to the January meeting.

The first meeting of the Westchase Community Association (WCA) Board of Directors in 2012 kicked off with fireworks. The Jan. 12 session began with the residents forum that saw two voting members, Carlos Quiros (Villas of West Park Village) and Gene McArthur (Woodbay), express concerns about fireworks being set off in the community over the recent holiday season. McArthur said a pick-up truck parked in front of his house on New Year’s Eve and set off canister-style fireworks, which burned a neighbor’s screen enclosure. McArthur described the fireworks as, “…not kids’ stuff but major explosives.”
