General meeting:
There is a meeting for members at Beltrami Electric meeting room scheduled for Thursday, January 16, 2014 at 7:00 pm. Andrew will email invitation to members and past attenders to inform them of the upcoming meeting. The agenda for the upcoming meeting was discussed at length. First, it was agreed to have a treasurer/secretary report given with an income statement and the number of members now listed with the HLA. Second, MJB will give a brief 5 to 10 minute presentation. Third, there will be a presentation by Kathy and limited discussion on the Bemidji Township Rental Ordinance revisions made in August 2013. This will impact all rental owners in this township. Some of the main concerns are the amount of inspections required to obtain a rental permit in the township (fire/safety, plumbing, electrical, sewer and follow up with an administrator inspection). These inspections are required to be renewed every 5 years. It was suggested that a letter be drafted by HLA with questions to the township regarding the ordinance. Finally, Jeremy Klinger from Drahos, Kieson & Christopher P.A. Law Office will be speaking about unlawful detainers and eviction at approximately 7:30 pm. Andrew will send out an email to all HLA members regarding providing questions for Jeremy about the eviction process. Andrew will compile a list of questions for Jeremy and pick a few to ask. The decision was made to get Jeremy a Lueken’s gift certificate ($25-$50) since he is volunteering his time to come and speak at the meeting.
