Dear Marie's Vineyard Homeowners, On May 16th, 2002, we had the third Marie's Vineyard Homeowners Association (HOA) meeting, all Marie's Vineyard Homeowners were invited. Board
Members: Non-officer
Board Members: * = unable to attend. MINUTES I. Introductions- Sarah Boyer, President, introduced everyone. Mark Russell and Ron Formanek were introduced as new officers. II. Treasurer's Report- A detailed treasurer's report was circulated among those present. There were no significant questions regarding our finances. We are close to buying insurance for the neighborhood. III. Neighborwoods Program- Tina Wagner, board member, expressed thanks for all the help with the mulching project and tree protector project. IV. Fence- A metal fence was damaged near the entrance of the neighborhood. No one volunteered to head a project to repair the fence. The board will see to it getting repaired when it is able to. V. Graffiti- We are looking for neighborhood volunteer to be prepared to see that graffiti gets painted quickly. No on volunteered. The board will seek volunteers again when the problem returns. VI. Volunteers anyone?- 3 individuals signed up for a volunteers list, saying that they would be willing to be called when we need help. If you are interested in volunteering, please let us know. VII. Speeding- Our speeding problem is still present. Some thought it was improving, but many expressed concern. Some voiced a very good idea of getting the city to post "children at play" signs. It was generally thought that these signs would be more significant in reducing speed than a 25 MPH speed limit sign. VIII. Picnic/Block Party- There was broad support for a neighborhood block party. A date in the first 2 weeks of August 1st was suggested. IX. Kid's Group- The concept of a mother's club or kid's group was discussed. X. Garage Sale- There was general interest in a neighborhood garage sale at the same date that Kempton Down's would do theirs. XI. Covenants- The vote for changes in the covenants was a vote of 28 votes for , 10 votes against. However, the total number of votes was not sufficient to count the vote as valid. There was general approval for trying to get changes made again at a future date. It was suggested that we try a process of letting each item be voted for individually. A few individuals were strongly disturbed with the phrasing of the proposed nuisance clause, and it's restriction of "use of premises for any other purpose whatsoever except for the purpose of a private dwelling or residence". XII.
Questions FUTURE MEETINGS: Next full HOA meeting is tentatively planned for August 18th, 2002. This is planned to be a picnic and HOA meeting. MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR THIS PICNIC AND FUN OTHER POINTS: MOWING: Some home owners have expressed concerns since the quarterly meeting that some people don't know that they are responsible for mowing the area between their sidewalk and the road. TREES: Plan on a planting party in October. The HOA has received a promise of about 27 trees from the City's Neighborwoods program. If you have a mark on your curb, then the City Forrester plans on having a tree planted next to the road near that mark. Diseased trees will be replaced too. The labor for planting these trees is not donated, even though the trees are free. Volunteers will be needed. JULY 4TH PARADE: Everyone is invited to a children's 4th of July Parade at Kempton Down's on July 4th at 9:30 am. SAVE YOUR MONEY: The HOA's money is your money too. Save it by sending us your email address, and having this letter delivered by email. YEARLY ASSESSMENTS: Don't forget to plan for the HOA yearly assessment of $120 due to each home owner on December 31, 2002.
