Treasurer\u2019s Report<\/span>\u2014Treasurer Frank McKay distributed copies of the annual financial statement, dating from 5\/1\/2014 \u2013 4\/30\/2015. This report reflected an ending balance above last year.<\/p>\n Board of Directors<\/span>: Randy reported that Elaine Brainard, Dell Cantrell, Spencer Carnes, Tim Christiansen (newly elected members), Mary Bagwell, Mary Ann Beltz, Randy Dickey, and Frank McKay (\u201ccarry over\u201d members with one more year to serve) will serve as this year\u2019s board of directors.<\/p>\n Deed Restrictions<\/span>\u2014Randy provided a brief overview of the basic approach the board plans to take. He noted that the attorney the board has retained to assist in this process is currently reviewing the board\u2019s last set of revisions. He went on to explain that the subdivision of Lakewood consists of numerous sections and that the deed restrictions often vary from section to section. In some sections a 50% majority approval is needed for passage of deed restrictions; in others, that percentage is 67%.<\/p>\n City Charter Amendments<\/span>\u2014Randy Dickey, a member of the City Charter Amendments Committee, briefly discussed the scope and purpose of this committee which has been meeting for slightly over one year. He noted that the charter is similar to a constitution rather than a set of ordinances. In its 67 years, Baytown\u2019s City Charter has been modified only four times. It is currently extremely out of date with regard to elections, annexations, and other city operations.<\/p>\n City Council Representative Report<\/span>\u2014District 3 City Council Representative Brandon Capetillo\u2019s \u201cState of the District\u201d report touched on many topics.
