Highlights from the Board of Directors Meeting,
March 15th 2010
1. Reviewed the new landscaping at the entranceway that was installed last week. Everyone seems to agree it looks great. Additional mulch for the area was ordered
2. There was a minor accident at the Round About that knocked about 10 feet of bricks off the wall and damaged the irrigation. Plans were approved to have all damage fixed.
3. New pavers in front of the school bus stop are set to be installed Wednesday the 17th
4. Treasurer reported we are doing significantly better this year with the ratio of money spent on legal fees to the money received thru the collection process.
5. There are 7 homes under contract to new buyers that should generate almost $9000 in past dues collections.
6. Considerable time was spent discussing the fining process and monitoring and making decisions on moving forward against long time offenders of HOA violations
7. Board announced they are negotiating with a security firm to monitor cars that are repeatedly parked in the street overnight in violation of HOA rules and regulations that would start with notices, progress to fines and ultimately having cars towed away. There are serious safety issues at stake here.
8. Board announced they are negotiating with a landscape service to provide minimal mowing and edging to 8 homes deemed abandoned. By spending a little money on these homes, the Board is hoping to keep everyone’s property values from being dragged down by unsightly properties in the neighborhood. Every attempt will be made to recoup our costs here from the owners.
9. Board did receive one volunteer to work with the ARC committee but still needs one more.
10. Board is still looking for volunteers for the Social Committee, including a chairperson. Without a Social Committee to organize it, the annual Easter Egg Hunt will not be held this year.
11. Three homeowners participated in the Hearing Process for HOA violations and had decisions made on their individual cases.
At the April BOD meeting, the Board discussed the possibility of a Spring Community Garage Sale. Typically we have our Social Committee coordinate this but we are currently without a Chairperson to do so. The Board will consider doing this directly and if it is a go, will include an announcement in the May mailing regarding the Annual Homeowners meeting.
Will the community be having a spring or early summer garage sale this year?
