March 2018 HOA Meeting Minutes

Stonehurst Home Owners Association

Minutes from the March 7, 2018 meeting

  • New Board Members:

Co-President – Chris Opdyke

Co-President – Alex Menez

Treasurer – Lindsey Opdyke

Secretary – Annette Mangrum

 

The theme of this board will be action and transparency, with the goal being to address issues efficiently, openly & consistently, in order to maintain and improve the aesthetics of the community.

 

  • The budget was distributed – June 1,2017 to May, 31,2018,

which shows a current surplus of $8359.71 and unpaid dues from 2017 only, of $2740.

 

  • Common Grounds/Landscape

The city damaged some landscape, wiring and irrigation. They have been contacted and will address these issues.

Our new lawn care company is Hermes.

Any planting at the signed entrances will be very minimal until a sprinkler system is considered and while the urgent need is mailboxes.

 

  • Uncollected Dues

There are several homeowners who have not paid their dues, and even a few who have not paid for up to five years. A consistent schedule and procedure for past due notices and then, ultimately, if necessary, placing liens on people’s homes will be implemented and written into the by-laws as soon as possible.

 

  • Mailboxes

A few mailboxes have been identified as needing emergency repairs. Bids will be obtained and repairs done ASAP.

The long term options remain either the large ‘post office style’ metal boxes holding up to 10-16 individual boxes each, or a better version of the current 2-3 boxes per post. Of the homeowners in attendance, the preference seemed to be the latter.

Repair/replace options will be researched and then presented at the May meeting. The board will be reaching out to an established contact with the post office for guidance on placement of boxes.

 

  • Thanks so much to all of those who attended the March 7, 2018 meeting. We hope to see even more of you at the Annual SHOA Meeting in May.
