Does this include any new requests for money, which does require a vote....

This would have been perfect for the e-vote system. we need a way for people not present to be able to participate in the meeting such as Skype. That way they could place their vote on a topic that could change part way through the meeting

Was the Venables Lake dam a good investment?

I'm concerned about the health of the lake in reguards to next years breeding season. I understand its a manmade lake but it is now an established ecosystem that many rare waterfowl now rely on for their survival. This can drastically effect migration and dwindling populations. This day and age birds don't get much mercy and every little bit helps. I would just love to hear that not only is it being discussed but that everyone is just as concerned as myself. The whole planet is in rough shape and birds are disappearing the fastest especially song birds.

Dogs should be fenced or tied as to not roam freely in our village

Owners can fence their own property. 5 acres is a lot of land for a roaming.

Proposal: Vacancy Farm Tax

Proposal description

Many active and absentee shareholders who have farm land as part of their shares are not maintaining the land and fences.  The result is that valuable farm land is not being used, fences are not maintained causing danger to animals and humans, and an eye-sore. (broken fences are also illegal)

Vacancy Farm Tax Rules:

  • Shareholders who do not maintain their fences on farm land will be charged a vacancy farm tax
  • Shareholders who not cultivate their farm land or use their land for grazing SVHI member cows will be charged the vacancy farm tax.
  • The vacancy farm tax will be $108 per acre per year.  
  • Shareholders unable to farm or fix their fences are encouraged to swap farm land with other SVHI land to avoid paying the tax
  • The vacancy farm tax starts on January 1, 2020
  • Taxes collected will be used to fix exiting broken fences on farm land

The goals of this proposal are:

A. encourage owners of farm land to use their land

B. beautify our land by fixing broken fences around existing farm land
