Board of Directors Report

Marie Barnes, President

I want to extend a sincere welcome to our newest Board members. We have had a very busy year. We approved a new security contract with substantial savings for our community. We also took the landscape task force recommendations which resulted in additional reduction of expense.

We found storage solutions and are planning for long-term storage needs. To provide additional security at the Sports Plaza, we upgraded our lighting and added cameras. I am sure you noticed the Meridian makeover. That is just the beginning. There is more to come. We are building a better business model for the Kilaga Café, which should result in an enhanced experience. We enhanced our employee compensation and benefits to more closely align with our community at large. We will also continue making accessibility improvements.

These were not easily accomplished. Some were controversial or perceived as problematic, however, they were necessary and have placed us on a more solid footing for the future refresh and refurbishment of our Homeowners Association as outlined in the Strategic Planning Process and forthcoming Master Plan.

Our newest board members will discover there are no easy decisions. I am of the belief that everyone who has been elected to the board or selected to serve on our various committees seeks the common good for the Association. I am certain our new board members will join us in working diligently to keep Lincoln Hills the best it can be.
