has clear direction from the attorney, the board will vote on the fines schedule for
homeowners that rent out their homes on a short term basis.
It was discussed the Amy Volkmann did write a letter to a homeowner that wanted to know
if they could rent. The letter stated we did not allow renting, but the homeowner could get a
tourist license from the county. See changes to minutes from November 17, 2021 meeting.
The board has hired an attorney to get what the association can legally do to stop the renting

The board is hiring an attorney to review our by law, covenants and rules, so we have
options on how to handle the homeowners renting.
