All,
The minutes for the May 10, 2010 HOA Board Meeting are available here.
The main focus of this meeting (1st after annual meeting) was for the introduction of the new board and hand-offs of various duties, tasks, etc. There were two other key topics discussed:
1. how to save to pay for a new exterior fence and a timeframe for replacement
2. how to properly update the Declarations & Bylaws
The board met again last week to review a set of proposed Declaration/By-Law changes, look for an official packet with proposed changes and general meeting to follow for ratification sometime in September (a copy will be posted on this blog as well). The minutes to last week's meeting will be posted once they have been completed.
To reiterate, nothing with the fence or declarations/by-laws has been officially decided. Any changes will require an official vote of the general members (not just the board), more details will be forthcoming, probably in early September.

Other news:
- The board has approved painting of the neighborhood street light poles, look for this to be done in the coming weeks.
- We will be replacing the lights that shine on the exterior neighborhood sign on the corner of Baze & Glade. The current lights tend to leak and cause the bulbs to burn out prematurely. Installation of the new lights will cost approximately $200-$225, but will hopefully result in longer lasting light bulbs. A big thanks to Steve Papathopoulos for doing a lot of the leg work on this issue (and the street light painting as well).
- There is an issue with a "powdery mildew" on some of the common area Crepe Myrtles, one theory here is that because the sprinklers come on in the middle of the night, the Myrtles don't get a chance to dry out, we will try switching the watering time closer to dawn to alleviate this problem.
- There have been some issues with The Lawn Firm leaving the bags of grass clippings out after they mow (presumably for the Grapevine trash collectors to pick-up on Friday), we plan to address this with them as it violates the accepted neighborhood practice of putting out trash before 7:00 pm the night before trash is collected
