Thank you to the 36 homeowners from 21 homes who attended our 2023 annual meeting!
The tacos were a big hit, and there were plenty of yummy sides and desserts. Even the weather cooperated, as it wasn’t too hot or cold.
The meeting lasted about an hour and we got a lot accomplished. View full meeting minutes here. Here’s a quick recap:
- Park is being maintained and updated as needed. 20 families reserved the park in the past year.
- New play structure is too expensive; we’re going to paint the tires and continue saving for this or other updates (like new roofs for the shed or picnic area)
- Pickleball lines on freshly washed courts; join a clinic by contacting Jim Cole
- Budget approved for July 2023 – June 2024 fiscal year
- All board members and officers were re-elected unanimously, unopposed (although several people offered to help Mary stuff dues notices in the fall)
- Everyone is invited to a movie night on Friday, July 21 at the Price/Benefiel home. View the invitation and RSVP here.
- Our annual garage sale is now set for the last weekend in July, every year beginning in 2024.
As a point of interest, Becky made a chart and pointed out that our expenses had a large jump between 2018 and 2022, while dues have remained fairly level. While our spending has been stable for the past few years, our current dues income just covers our expenses. We will not be able to save for any larger projects like we have in the past. See chart below.
*In 2018, we received a lump payment of unpaid dues with interest with the sale of a home. The normal dues income would have been below $12,000 otherwise.
