SBHA Annual Members Meeting August 31, 2016

Stonebrook Homeowner’s Association (SBHOA)

Annual Board Meeting 8/31/2016

In Attendance - Rick Beem, President was called away for a work emergency and unable to attend.  Ted Heckathorn, Vice President, conducted the meeting in his place.  All other board members were in attendance.  There were approximately 15 other homeowners in attendance.

NEWS/ACCOMPLISHMENTS – Ted updated on garage sale turnout and new signs that were purchased. 

TREE TRIMMING - The issue of untrimmed trees was brought up.  Vick Jacobsen suggested we work with the City to help get residents to keep their trees trimmed.  Garbage trucks, sweepers and plows cannot do their jobs with trees that are not trimmed to appropriate heights.    

NEWSLETTER SUGGESTIONS – Lee Dayton suggested adding to the newsletter consequences of violations and how many homes are in Stonebrook

RENTERS – There was a brief discussion on how to handle renters.  It was suggested that we look at hiring a management company to enforce policies.  A management company would know what we can do legally and they will ensure follow up is made on violators.  It was brought up that fees may have to be raised to do this.  Research will have to be done to find out what a management company would do and how much it would cost.  This company could also replace Rudd & Company.   One management company name that was given was Boardwalk Management. 

 FINANCES – Cindy gave a brief financial rundown.  It was brought up that fees may need to be raised if we hire a management company.  Those in attendance were for raising fees if necessary.

ELECTIONS – The following names were nominated and seconded for the ballot of the new board of directors:
