OLD BUSINESS

A discussion regarding style, content and frequency of a community newsletter. Tom and Roberto brought examples of newsletters to be discussed in this meeting. After a period of discussion, it was decided that one of the examples be used as a template to make our newsletter. We will include excerpts from the monthly meeting(s), community concerns based on community input/feedback, ARC in general, finance news, highlight a portion of the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions, a section on home sales, a section focusing on ARC violation with a reference to the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions, a section about crime watch and crimes reported in our community. The first edition will contain a form to allow residents/homeowners to specify if they would like to receive the newsletter via email. Sending the newsletter via email would be preferred over other methods as it costs nothing. We will attach a one-page ARC form to each edition of the newsletter to give homeowners and/or residents a convenient means to submit their planned projects to the ARC for review and approval. We are not yet sure how often we want to put out a newsletter. We think it will come out either quarterly or monthly, depending on the needs of the community.

Tom to formerly notify the attorney that we are adopting them as our own. After later speaking with the attorney’s office, Tom later sent an email to them to this affect.

We are looking into our files for a couple current ARC violations.

The homeowner on Sandywood does not seem to be facing financial hardships.

NEW BUSINESS

We are going to look over the files to get a better understanding of how well they are organized.
