SPECIAL MEETING OF THE MEMBERSHIP OF PLAZA EAST ASSOCIATION
December 17, 2008
Pursuant to notice the Membership of Plaza East Association, Inc. met in special session on Wednesday December 17, 2008 at 6:30 P.M. in the Ocean Room, 4300 N. Ocean Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308. Directors in attendance were Rafick Henein, Richard Madey, Tim Smith, DiAnne Shumard, Alex Soufrine and John Toklucu. Also present was Property Manager David Beswick. Mr. Smith chaired the meeting and Mr. Beswick recorded the proceedings. The meeting was called to order at 6:45 P.M. and began with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Being that there is no Secretary, President Smith directed Mr. Beswick to proceed with Roll Call.
Board Member Jeanne Poore arrived immediately after the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and Roll Call.
Being that this was a special meeting of the Membership to count the votes to move the Plaza East Reserve Funds from the Restricted (or Line-Item) Reserve, to the Pooled (or Cash-Flow)reserve, and that attendance could be accomplished in person or by proxy, it was announced that a quorum had not been attained.
Thereafter, Manager David Beswick reported that he was told by Accountant Ted Perrella that Mr. Perrella had a conversation with Ms. Constance McCallum of the Florida DBPR and that during said conversation, Ms. McCallum informed Mr. Perrella that, in her opinion, it was not necessary to hold a membership vote to move the funds and that this action could be taken by Board action. Mr. Beswick was directed to contact Ms. McCallum and get a confirmation of this in writing or via e-mail. I was also decided to continue collecting proxies to attain a quorum, and that upon attaining a quorum, Mr. Beswick would prepare a Business Clearance Memo in this regard that could be signed by the Board Members and read into the minutes of the next meeting.
Thereafter, upon motion by Mr. Toklucu, seconded by Mr. Soufrine, it was voted to move the funds in the Restricted Reserve to the Pooled Reserve. All present voted in favor of the motion except Mr. Madey and Mrs. Poore who abstained from voting.
Thereafter, upon motion by Mr. Soufrine, seconded by Mr. Toklucu, it was unanimously voted to adjourn the meeting at 6:58 P.M.
Respectfully Submitted,
