Board of Directors Meeting Minutes

November 6, 2012

The Board of Directors meeting was called to order at 5:07 PM by David Jeffreys, president.  Present were David Jeffreys, Rebecca Powell, Diane Walzer-Speer, board members, and Bob and Marilyn McKoy, Network Real Estate Association Management.

Minutes of the September 6, 2012 meeting were approved.

Financial report:  Marilyn reported that the balance on hand was $14,834.57.  Delinquent accounts were reviewed and the board discussed violations and fines issued.

Old business: 

After discussion, it was determined that no action would be taken at this time regarding the vines on 4172 Abbington as the vines had been cut away from the residence and the vines at the eaves of the house appeared to be dying.

The neighborhood yard sale was held and 5 homes participated.  Another yard sale will be considered for the spring.

Rebecca suggested that since there were several trees and shrubs that block the sidewalk, that she would do a walk around the neighborhood and make a list of the addresses that had limbs that needed removing and/or pruning.  Jeremy would be contacted to handle the work for the HOA as the majorities are on the street right way.

David reported on activity from the neighborhood blog.  He stated that since July 1^st, there were 100 visits to the site with 33 being unique visits and 1240 page views.  75% were returning users and 25% were new visits.

New business:

No report from the ARC.  Diane volunteered to serve on the committee as a liaison to the board.  Other committees were discussed and Rebecca volunteered to serve on a by-laws committee.

Question was raised regarding the possibility of owners renting section 8, but it was understood that this issue was a personal decision of the owner of the property and the HOA had no jurisdiction.

Parking on Picadilly and Abbington near the soccer fields was discussed.  Marilyn reported that the postman had notified her that if cars continued blocking the mailboxes that he had the right to hold the mail delivery to the homes.  She stated that she had spoken with Randall Glazier with the city streets division and had been advised that the options would be to re-install a gate with a lock keeping everyone out of the Hoggard field area, or put up no parking signs along the street in that area.  It was decided that the locked gate was not an option as many owners enjoyed walking their pets back in that area and no parking signs might not be visible.  Marilyn was to call Earl’s Towing to see if they had signage they could put up notifying violators that they would be towed.  Earl’s would then tow the cars.  Marilyn was to make sure that this would be allowed since the streets are city streets.

The next Board of Director’s meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, January 8, at 3:00 PM at Network College Road office.

There was no further business to come before the meeting and same adjourned at 6:15 PM.
