1. Welcome, identification of SGNA Board of Directors and introductions of neighbors and visitors.
2. Introduction and Problem Statement

In the past two to three weeks, there have been numerous reports from Board members and neighbors of comments and remarks misrepresenting the intent and work of the Board and maligning specific Board Members and the Board as a whole. Further, the reports, whether by direct statement or implication potentially do damage to the reputation of the Board and the neighborhood, and as such interfere with the business of the Board and of the neighborhood. The good name and intentions of the Board and the neighborhood are essential to the work and all we really have to count on as we work together. The Board must take action, before the next Regular Board Meeting to understand the circumstances and act immediately to protect the name and work of the Board and the neighborhood.

1. Background information, reports
2. Discussion to reach consensus and understanding of the problem, and to identify and consider alternate course(s) of action
3. Call for Motion(s), if required.
4. Discussion of Motion(s).
5. Public questions and comments.
