Victoria Place Homeowners Association Annual Meeting

November 19, 2013
The Victoria Place HOA held its annual meeting at Pine Valley Baptist Church on Nov. 19th, 2013 at 7:00 pm.  President David Jeffreys called the meeting to order at 7 pm.

Quorum:  David Jeffreys explained to those in attendance that 10% of homeowners (which equals 11) would determine a quorum.  There were 12 members in attendance plus the board of directors and our management team, Marilyn and Bob McKoy.  With 22 proxies received and those attending, a quorum was more than met.

Proof of Notice:  David Jeffreys explained that the meeting notice was mailed 30 days prior to the meeting as proved by a copy received back to Network Real Estate on time.

Previous Year Minutes:  Minutes were read by Diane Speer, Vice President, and approved by a show of hands.

Financial Report:  Rebecca Powell, Treasurer, introduced the budget for 2014, pointing out that this would now end the 17 month budget and begin a 12 month budget.  She also informed the attendees of the $10,000 which was put into a separate, interest earning account.  Rebecca then introduced Marilyn McKoy to go over the budget in detail.

Marilyn covered the budget in detail and opened the floor to questions regarding any expenses.  After discussion / explanation of areas concerning grounds maintenance and postage costs, the budget was motioned for approval, seconded and approved by a show of hands.

Nominating Committee:  As chairperson of the nominating committee, Rebecca Powell reminded members that our President, David Jeffreys was finishing his term on the board and a replacement board member was needed.  With no prior volunteers to commit to serving on the board, the floor was opened for any nominations.  Tamara Putnam volunteered to serve on the board, and explained her interest.  After a secret ballot vote by the membership, Tamara was elected to serve on the board.

Past Year Board Business:  Diane Speer informed the members of some of the issues their board members have worked on this past year.  Highlights were cleaning up fence lines bordering homeowner’s properties along the soccer fields and NHC education property.  The topic of fence ownership along the soccer fields generated much discussion.   The BOD also determined to clean up sidewalks and right away along sidewalks and yards in serious need of sprucing up.  We talked about the newsletter and the soon to come, doggie bag stations.  Residents were encouraged to please notify a board member if they have concerns or ideas for the future to be addressed.

Adjourn:  The annual meeting was adjourned at 8:10pm.  A card of appreciation, small gift and cupcakes were presented to David for his outstanding service and all were invited to enjoy cupcakes.
