Board Decides to Split its Time
Citing ever-lengthening monthly board meetings and their impact on Board and staff productivity, Board President Laura Civiello proposed splitting the public and executive sessions into two separate meetings. The resolution to move the executive sessions to a different day/time was passed unanimously. Management will post the schedule per VGOA requirements.

In other Board business, the eight directors approved three additional paid holidays for VG staff, reflecting the current roster of California state holidays. They also agreed to Treasurer Claire Knowlton’s resolution to open the air-conditioned clubhouse as a cooling center during business hours to residents seeking relief from the heat when temperatures meet or exceed 95 degrees. Rules for use of the clubhouse will be posted by the clubhouse doors.
Per a suggestion from a resident, the Board asked the Cultural Affairs Committee to modify the language on event mailers to allow residents to set up chairs on the Main Green the day before official Village Green concerts and special events. Previously, residents were only allowed to set up the day of. Residents are still required to remove all personal items immediately after the events.
