The Board will have its first official meeting this Friday, Oct. 30th, by conference call.

The Interim Board will be meeting almost weekly over the next few months (either by conference call or in person) to aid in the transition to any new developer, to respond to property owners' submitted questions, and to put in action the following agenda.

1. Review CHPOA management, maintenance, landscaping, insurance, and other contracts and choose to either continue such contracts or research and enact alternative contracts with the same or new contractors.

2. Secure an independent Georgia licensed CPA to audit all CHPOA accounting records to gain an understanding of past accounting practices and to streamline and set forth a new budget for the CHPOA.

3. Once the audit has been completed and a new budget determined, then a CHPOA Annual Meeting date will be set. The Interim Board is planning this Annual Meeting to be within 90 days after the close of the CHPOA's fiscal year (endingDecember 31, 2009) per the CHPOA Bylaws. The Interim Board will open discussions with any new developer to initiate an election of a new CHPOA Boardof Directors at this Annual Meeting.

4. Audit the CHPOA lot owner assessment records to determine whether all property owners and builders owning lots are current in the payment of theirCHPOA assessments per the Bylaws. Action will be taken to collect overdue CHPOAassessments.

5. Review the usage policies for the common areas for social gatherings by both Cumberland Harbour property owners and outside entities, and revise these policies as necessary to maintain the facilities.

6. Maintain discussions with the City of St. Marys and work with any new developer regarding the enforcement of the bonds for the construction of the incomplete infrastructure (roads and utilities) to move such constructionforward.

7. Communicate frequently with the property owners through a community website and answer specific property owner questions by email or phone conversations. Minutes of all Interim Board meetings will be posted on this website, once thewebsite is established.

8. Provide all owners with a community directory of property owners' contact information for property owners who wish to be listed in the directory. (The Board will be mailing such a request for contact information with this letter to property owners, so that a directory will be available by the Annual Meeting date.)

The Interim Board is open to any suggestions by property owners for other agenda items. Property owner questions during this interim period will be answered by the Board each time the Board meets (which will be almost weekly over the nextfew months). The Board will then respond to the property owner by email orphone. Please email any questions to the interim Board at cumberlandharbourowners@yahoo.com .

Additionally, any property owner who has an area of expertise or interest and would like to volunteer for a CHPOA committee assignment or other work that needs to be completed by the CHPOA, please contact the Board at the email listedabove to discuss how you would like to help.

The Interim Board looks forward to serving the best interests and needs of the property owners. All Interim CHPOA Board members are Cumberland Harbour property owners who have no affiliation with the former Land Resource, LLC or Point Peter, LLLP. The Interim Board will be working hard over the next few months to make Cumberland Harbour a showplace community.
