1.      Susie Lefebvre is officially new HOA VP. Gina Simmering is officially new HOA Secretary. Laura Wolf to remain HOA Board Member and Newsletter Editor.

 

2.      We have $6,658 in HOA funds.  Income for the year is approx. $4,000, before the amount used to landscape the south entrance is subtracted.

 

3.      It was decided that a HOA general meeting is to take place on one of these dates, TBA: October 24, 26 or 25^th. The main topic of the meeting will center on the park initiative.

 

4.      Joe Lanzoni received two complaints recently from Heatherwood homeowners. The correct course of action with complaints will be as follows: they must be submitted in writing which, in turn will generate a letter to the offender stating the complaint.

 

5.      What to do with HOA Funds. Homeowners and board members need to look at the short term/long-term goals of the Heatherwood neighborhood and ultimately the amount of money we have for these projects.  If we cannot find a project manager to volunteer for the tree-trimming project, the next most likely use of HOA money will be the bus stop benches.  These are the items listed in order of how the Heatherwood homeowners voted to use HOA money:

1)      Landscaping (done).

2)      Trimming Shrubs: Need someone to volunteer as project manager; ad will be placed in next newsletter for this position.

3)      Park (will be voted on in November election).

4)      Sidewalks with wheelchair access.

5)      Bus stop benches.

6)      Bike paths.

7)      Traffic Lights?

 

5.      Park Initiative Revisited: A few issues were brought up regarding the use of HOA funds to promote the park initiative. The general feeling was not to use HOA funds for Pro Park propaganda. In anticipation of negative park propaganda the park committee is currently brainstorming on ways to positively promote the park prior to the November election. A special newsletter will come out prior to the general meeting with information about the proposed park, a second flyer will be sent out the last week in October with Q & A regarding common questions about the park initiative.
