(g) Covenants Update President Farrell Odom gave an update on this agenda item. In his report, (copy attached), President Odom stated that the POA Board had been evaluating the status of the covenants in Tansi this past year, some of which potentially expire within the next two to eight years. He stated that on June 11 th, a Town Hall meeting was held to initiate the very beginning of a campaign to help make the membership and Lake Tansi Village aware of some of the information we have obtained. The update for this meeting was intended only as that same beginning of awareness for addressing an issue that is important to members and the community.

In concluding his report, President Odom stated that the POA Board of Directors and the Covenant Committee believes extension or amendment of these covenants is in the best interest of the POA and our community and the purpose of this update was to simply make the membership aware that a process was being developed to best offer the members and community an opportunity to accomplish this.
