Minutes for the November 17, 2025, Special Meeting of Mar Cheri Community Club
On November 17 2025, at the Wayside Church in Federal Way, the Mar Cheri Community Club held a special meeting of the owners to ratify the attached special assessment budget, which was approved by the Board in the total amount of $40,000.00 ($600 per lot), to fund legal fees with respect to the lawsuit filed under King County Superior Court Case No. 25-2-27162-5 KNT.
Board President Ken Schiewetz called the meeting to order at 7:05 PM. Board members present were Ken Schiewetz, Anne Mesick, Gary Mesick and Larry Barlow. Roll call of the members showed 34 homeowners present.
Ken Schiewetz made a motion to appoint James Rolf and Steve Freeborn as the Tellers Committee to Certify the Ballot Count. Gary Mesick seconded the motion. A voice vote by the membership unanimously approved their appointment.
Following an explanation of the reason for the assessment and a period for clarification and discussion by the membership, ballots were distributed to each lot represented. The Tellers Committee collected and counted the ballots, and presented the president with the following results:
27 votes to ratify the special assessment budget.
6 votes against ratification of the special assessment budget.
1 abstention.
According to Washington State law, unless lot owners to which a majority of the votes in the association are allocated reject the budget, the budget and assessments against the lots included in the budget are ratified. Therefore, the special assessment budget is ratified and the Mar Cheri Community Club will levy a special assessment of $600 against each lot to support legal fees associated with the lawsuit. According to the special assessment budget, the $600 special assessment is due in four equal monthly installments of $150, commencing on December 15, 2025, and continuing on the 15th day of each month thereafter (January 15th, 2026, February 15th, 2026, and March 15th, 2026).
Respectfully Submitted
