Sunny Meadows committee formed; auditor given approval authority for related finances
Summary
Members voted to form an advisory committee for Sunny Meadows, directed that Sunny Meadows financial transactions be approved by auditor Susan Sleeper, and approved Kellen as the commission representative; members said they will coordinate with the council to fill community and council seats.
Members in session voted to form a committee to guide Sunny Meadows' future and to require auditor Susan Sleeper to approve financial transactions tied to Sunny Meadows.
A committee member opened the motion, saying, "I would like to make a motion to put together a committee that's going to help facilitate Sunny Meadows' future," and a second followed. The motion passed by voice vote.
At the same meeting, a committee member moved that "all financial transactions have to be approved by Susan Sleeper, the auditor" for Sunny Meadows; that motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Susan Sleeper was identified in the discussion as the auditor responsible for approving those transactions.
The membership also approved appointing Kellen as the commissioner representative on the Sunny Meadows Committee after a motion to that effect; the motion passed by voice vote. During the roll call the chair asked "Opposed?" and the transcript records the name Joan Zagai as the sole named opposition. Exact vote tallies were not provided in the transcript.
Members discussed next steps for filling community and council representation and said they would "talk to the council" and consult Rick, described in the transcript as the liaison. One participant asked members to contact local leaders and the council to confirm appointees before finalizing committee membership.
Toward the end of the session a committee member raised a maintenance question about a portion of trim described in the transcript as a "bridal sticking out part," asking whether a preservation product or sealant could be offered as an alternative to installing a new fascia; another member said he would ask Ben to include that option in the follow-up letter and suggested checking with DNR on acceptable products. The transcript language for the trim issue is unclear; the committee recorded the item for follow up rather than making an immediate decision.
The committee did not set firm deadlines in the discussion; members said they would follow up with the council, the liaison Rick, and relevant staff to confirm representatives and product options.
