1. Paul Zettek, the current HOA President
started the meeting. Paul announced that
he will be moving and that a new president would need to be elected.
2. There is a web page for our association. Juan Ramos is the web master and has attained
www.meadowsofpagehurst.com
and
www.meadowsatpagehurst.com
for our site. He is looking for
volunteers and ideas for the site. You
can email him or the board through the site.
3. Introduction of Batts
and Ramsey representative Diana Ellis. Diana is our representative from Batts and Ramsey.
She visits our community twice a month and makes note of all the
covenants violations. So far there has
been a positive response from most residents.
B&R was chosen to be our management service primarily for financial
reasons and the services they provided.
The president noted that we get more for a lesser cost than TLC.
4. Batts and Ramsey
representative Diana Ellis discussed the budget and answered questions from the
residents. B&R is still pursuing
people who have not paid their dues. We
are still behind around $2,000 in back dues.
Reminder:
Next years dues will begin in January. There will be a coupon book sent out to every
home. It will have 4 coupons. Dues will be collected quarterly. You will be responsible for sending them in
on time. No reminders will be
given. There is a late fee. The dues are now $240 dollars a year, 60 per
quarter.
5. Juan Santiago of Tru
Source Inc. is our current landscaper.
He has been asked to continue next year and will provide a new contract
to the board. He has been involved with
a number of residents putting in sod.
Please contact him if you would like an estimate for sod. This is a great deal especially for those on
the old phase of the community. One example
is the home next to the playground on
6. The president wanted to set up a day to paint
and clean up the playground. That has
since been cancelled due to weather and time issues.
There is
also a plan to remove the playground set on Raj Drive and put it in the
playground area on
7. A petition has been submitted for the speed
bumps to be installed on Raj Drive.
There were some concerns about snow removal after they put in the speed
bumps. However, 75%+ of the residents on
Raj drive signed the petition so they will be installed. This is a street by street petition. If you want them on your street, a petition
with at least 75% of the residents on that street must be completed.
Also: One
of the residents reported that a petition was submitted for Raj Drive to have
no parking signs put in on both sides of the street.
8. Some future Ideas the board is looking into:
The first
plan is to do something with the entrance. The board is looking into putting stone work
around the current entry signs on
The
second idea is for a vinyl coated chain link fence to be installed
around the playground area on
9. Community Reminders:
Garbage Cans. - Please remember to
put your garbage can away. It should not
be seen from the front of your house. It
is permissible to put it out Sunday night and then put it away Monday after the
pickup.
Satellite
dishes - Satellite
dishes are not allowed to be installed in a location that can be seen from the
front of your house. Anything that can be
seen from the front of your home should have a request submitted to the architectural
approval committee. If there is
absolutely no way of installing the dish in a location that can not be seen,
then specific approval can be given.
NOTE: The people who install these dishes know about
home owners associations. Almost No
association allows these to be seen. The
installers know this, and have no problem coming out an additional time to move
them. However, you will have to pay for
it.
Architectural

approval. Please be sure to submit
architectural approval request. The
forms can be attained from the Batts and Ramsey web page.
