VILLAGE AT INWOOD ANNUAL HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION MTG 23 May, 2009


The meeting was called to order at 6 p.m. by Ms. Kathy Kraft, HOA President. She thanked the former President, Mr. Martin Litofsky for his service. Approximately 60 participants attended as well as numerous proxies. Food was provided for the meeting.

OLD BUSINESS: Copies of the current budget and expenditures report was provided in advance of the meeting.

NEW BUSINESS: An agenda was provided in advance and the following items were discussed:

1. Projects approved by the Board to date (see article on our website for more detail):
a. Replace broken boards/repaint all of our common area fences. This includes priming & painting the metal entry gates/entry stop sign/common entry wood fence. A contract was let in March - on-going.
b. Repaint entire playscape and repair fencing. Contract let in March, completed May.
c. Replace missing tree on entry island, completed by Horton in April.
d. Repaint crosswalks - completed Feb.
e. Repaint recreation area bathrooms. Contract let in March/completed


2. Projects approved at the meeting that are pending completion this summer:
a. Resurface basketball court and restripe to regulation half court. Replace backboard and install breakaway hoop. Contract let May.
b. Resurface tennis court/make repairs/replace nets etc. Replace wind screens. Contract let May..
C. Replace missing tree on Ashton Village/entry street left hand side of street as you enter.
D. Replace bark/mulch in playground area.

3. Projects under feasibility study:
A. Install a fence/gate at the end of Worthington where the drainage ditch is located and the commercial property begins. This is being studied for cost, requirements of city permits, security issues ect. However, if this is all within reason the members voted to proceed with closing off the subdivision.  The issue of installing a gate as well is still under discussion.  This is considered to be a security issue for the neighborhood. One resident volunteered to contact the commercial property owner behind us to try and share costs - once all information is available a Board decision will be made.
B. The discussion regarding speeders and installation of speed bumps resurfaced. The previous study will be located and reviewed; however, there was no approval to proceed with speed bumps at this time.

4. Approval of annual Village yard sale held in June.

5. New gate codes for both rec area and tennis courts - call Assn President for AMS for codes.

Current Initiatives that have been or are now being addressed following the meeting:
--Commencement of on-line dues pay capability
--Installation of an alternate hand watering system due to drought conditions. Install two hose bibs and purchase 2 100’ hoses.
--Funding of First Annual 4th of July celebration
--Signs being purchased requesting NO Wheels/bikes etc in our new BB courts.

NOTE: These are not official minutes; we are waiting on AMS to publish and mail official minutes.

Thanks, Kathy Kraft 7/6/09
