VPHOA Board of Directors Meeting Minutes - Feb. 4, 2014

Rebecca Powell called the meeting to order at 5:31 pm.  Others in attendance were, Diane Speer (vice president) Tamara Putnam (treasurer), Marilyn and Bob McKoy and Madeline Bostic (HOA management).

The minutes from the annual meeting held on Nov. 19th, 2013 were read by Diane Speer and approved.

Financial Report:  Marilyn reported that our balances as to date total $19,043.69.  Our reserve fund has a balance of $10,005.54 and the operating expenses at $9,038.15.

There were extensive reports on properties that have liens against them and others that are close to having liens placed on them.  This was agreed a difficult situation with hopes that owners may reach a payment plan with management to result in having their liens removed.

Old Business:

Board members turned over their respective binders to the officer now holding the elected position.

Concern about the exterior condition of some properties was discussed.  If necessary the board will continue to have the property/s cleaned up at the owner’s expense.

New Business:

Diane proposed a Care Committee for our neighborhood.  She would like to find a resident who would be willing to work on this with her.  It would mean sending a card to residents concerning; surgeries, illness, or sympathy.  We can only do this if someone will take the time to notify a person working on this committee of someone’s situation.  Cards and stamps can be reimbursed.  We will put more information in regards to this in the next newsletter.

The appearance of mold on many homes is unsightly to the neighborhood.  Board members will be compiling a list of homes needing attention and will ask our management to send letters to those homeowners.  There will be a period of time in which to comply.  A power wash is not necessary, but a mild bleach solution that will not harm plants, sprayed on and washed off does wonders.  It was suggested more information be included in the newsletter.

The board discussed the months in which to again have the neighborhood spruced up by our landscaper, Jeremy Peeler.  This involves edging of the sidewalks thru out the neighborhood as needed.  We will also ask for the common areas of Galahad and Picadilly to be spruced up.

Diane reported that there was only one ARC request since our last meeting, which was approved.  It was also related to the board that our current chairperson, Sally Egan, would like for someone else to take over the chairman’s position.  She is willing to remain a member on the committee.  We hope to find someone to replace Sally.

Rebecca has requested a Soccer and Lacrosse schedule for the soccer fields.  We wish to again remind those attending games to be respectful of parking on Picadilly and the surrounding area.

The meeting was adjourned at 6:30 and the next meeting scheduled for April 29, 2014 at 5:30.
