Live feature was launched and some additional residents were virtually present.
Stephanie Brown (virtually present) opened with asking number of current residents who
haven’t paid 2024 HOA dues. Scott answered ten. Scott advised that unpaid dues historically
have been in the range of 2-5. All ten residents have been contacted concerning the outstanding
dues to be paid. Six out of those ten residents haven’t responded to the multiple attempts to
collect the dues. The remaining four residents have been in contact with Scott concerning
payment. Stephanie also asked about status of 2023 outstanding dues. Scott replied there are
two residents that haven’t paid since 2023. Scott is currently in contact with those residents as
well.
It was discussed that the lien process will be enforced for those non-paying residents. Further,
was discussed that attorney letters attempting to collect the debt cost $200 each. The question
came up whether those fees will come out of the HOA operation budget or can be passed onto
the resident. Madi Alexander (virtually present) stated she previously worked for an attorney
group that managed HOA’s and those fees can be passed to the resident. Scott was under the
impression that is not accurate according to the current bilaws. Susan Watson has a message
into Falcon Mire at the attorney office to determine what options the board has to extend legal
fees to residents for non-payment, liens, fines, etc.
A virtually present resident asked the question if nonpaying residents still have privileges to the
pool and clubhouse. The answer is no.
Scott is currently working with Falcon Mear on updating covenants and bilaws for the
subdivision. More discussion next meeting on the progress of this. Moreover, will be discussing
what fees should be for certain violations, etc. Current estimated cost for updating covenants
and restrictions is $1675.
Derrick Guillory offered for he and his son Tanner to freshen up front landscape provided the
board covers the cost of the materials.
Scott advised we are receiving two quotes from landscapers. One is from Mowmasters and the
other is from Watts Landscaping. Should receive revised quotes within a week and vote will be
made at that time.
Fencing: Highway 73 fence repair from car accident. Insurance adjuster must come out and
assess prior to making repairs. Status: In process and police reports purchased.
Highway 73 loose/damaged fence boards to be reattached/replaced. Rick Munch to look into
with help of Kenny Brown.
Pool/Clubhouse: underwater pool lights are being worked on. Repairs have been made to the
second pool pump motor. Both motors are up and running quietly. Repair has been made to the
irrigation system at clubhouse. Two zones are currently turned off due to leaks. Swing at the
playground has been repaired. Clubhouse cleaning twice weekly to begin immediately.
Scott made a motion nominating Susan Watson as secretary. Seconded by Alberta. Board voted
4/4 in favor, Susan successfully nominated as secretary.

Camera system in/around pool area.
Fence boards to be replaced/repaired.
Status of drafts with attorneys for violations, fees, unpaid dues.
