West Galveston Island Property Owners Association 

The West Galveston Island Property Owners Association elected its current slate of officers to a new term at the group's annual meeting on Saturday.  Jerry Mohn will continue as president, Sydney McClendon as vice president, Dave Boyd as secretary and Al Birdwell as treasurer.

“The nominating committee and the board felt the association has come a long way and we would like to continue on as it is,” Mohn said.

The group also reelected Jim Steinbeck from Jamaica Beach, Bill Aimone from Terramar and Dave Boyd from Spanish Grant to the board of directors.

Mohn reported that the CEPRA II program is continuing, and subdivisions will be visited in two to three weeks by representatives of the Texas General Land Office to design the sand nourishment project for each subdivision. 

The board unanimously approved a $500 contract with Kathy Barr to research, write and distribute a press release on the organization's fifth anniversary.

“We really would like to get more information out about the West Galveston Island Property Owners Association to the public,” Mohn said. “We feel that we are having more of an influence on what is happening on the West End and to let the people know that we are there and we have a voice.”
