Hello Neighbors -

We hope this post finds you all well. As we start looking toward the holidays, we’re grateful to live in such a beautiful neighborhood!

Our latest meeting minutes are up on the Documents section of the website….You’ll likely find the section regarding the possibility of working with a property management company for our future HOA management needs enlightening…

Please understand that the Board does not explore these options lightly. So why did we? Well, we cannot ignore some of the challenges we have come up against these last couple of years (Air BnB, Pool and relationship with the golf course, complicated neighbor issues, parking issues, etc.). We have learned, as I’m sure many of our previous Board members have, that taking on a role in a Board like this is not without its liabilities and risks. We make decisions that have legal implications as we carry out our duties in the Bylaws and enforce the Covenants. We often have to step in between neighbors and we are neighbors, ourselves….

Currently, there is no training for new Board members and while we have gifted folks on the Board, none of us has the time or honestly, the knowledge, to dedicate to developing something like that. We desperately want serving on the Board to be a little easier than it is currently and in doing so, we hope that you see the Board is able to serve the community more consistently and knowledgeably. In order to achieve that, we feel we need the kind of assistance and support that a property management company can offer us.

We will bring you much more information about this both in the annual meeting announcement and at the annual meeting, but long story short, we want serving on the Board to feel like serving without feeling like a sentence. Property management doesn’t take the Board out of the picture. It assists us with some of the more mundane tasks, supports us, trains us, guides us, and allows us to be more consistent with protection of the covenants. Most importantly, it allows those that serve to simply be neighbors that serve….not mediators, police of properties, or expected experts in interpretation of legal documents and situations.

We hope you can understand and upon reflection, support our position on this topic. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to any of us.
