BOARD REPORT
Thanks to everyone that attended the Annual Meeting on May 25 this year. We had a good turnout at the meeting and excellent online voting! A total of 104 votes were cast and 80 were electronic. The Board thanked James Smith for all his efforts in the past 4 years on the HOA Board. Veronica Frederick and John Shumaker were re-elected to the Board and Bill Walters was elected as a new Board member. Bill was very helpful during the annexation efforts and we welcome his participation on the Board. The Board reviewed the 2015 finances, maintenance projects completed in 2015 and planned for 2016. Several topics of conversation included raising chickens, portable basketball goals and street parking. The Board also confirmed that an election would be required with 67% of the homes voting yes before any changes could be made to the current deed restrictions. The Board suggested a committee of homeowners could be formed to investigate the feasibility and costs for adding a covered pavilion
or sport court near the pool. We are currently seeking volunteers to help with publicity and yard of the month programs. The Board approved the purchase of replacement commercial grade pool furniture including 4 new chairs and 2 new tables in June.

Water Conservation Tips of the Month • When you are washing your hands, don't let the water run while you lather. • If you accidentally drop ice cubes when filling your glass from the freezer, don't throw them in the sink. Drop them in a house plant instead. • Keep a bucket in the shower to catch water as it warms up or runs. Use this water to water inside or outside. Copyright © 2016 Peel, Inc.
