2016 Q4 Activity




 
The fourth quarter of 2016 was much busier than any of us could have expected with two named storms, Hermine and Matthew, coming through. For this reason many of the priorities set at the beginning of September took a back seat to more pressing matters. There will be more information forthcoming about the clean up project we are working on.

2016 Q4
-    Annual Meeting:
        assigned board positions
        priorities for the year:
            balancing the budget
            website/communication
            state of the covenants
-    Received, voted and approved/denied ARC requests (again, many solar panel requests approved)
-    Answered real estate agent requests involving numerous home sales/purchases
-    Removed liens from homeowners who became current on dues
-    Replaced mailbox at entrance
-    Carolyn Lee helped paint neighborhood sign and lay sod on entrance; moved irrigation and finished mulching.
-    Hurricanes Hermine (September) and Matthew (October) caused extensive damage in neighborhood
-    Addressed specific tree damage with home owners and began drafting plan to remove/trim trees that were threatening personal property
-    Began collecting bids for cleaning project from multiple companies
