HAWKES BLUFF HOMEOWNERS' ASSOCIATION
Board Meeting
Date: Tuesday, November 23, 1999
Location: Fire Station/Community Room
Directors
Present: Howard Neu, Mo Christie, Gretchen Farmer, John Pickett, Jeff Stoller, and Jay Stahl
Director
Absent: Mike Murphy
The meeting was commenced at approximately 7:40 P.M. (in the parking lot). The Directors met with Officer Steve Rachlin with the Davie Police Department. Topics discussed with Officer Rachlin involved the recent neighborhood break-ins, need for increased police presence, use of radar guns. Officer Rachlin advised that the police would be out in force shortly enforcing the speed limits and that he would follow up regarding neighborhood patrols concerning the break-ins. Officer Rachlin gave each director his business card and Jay asked if it could be put on the web page. He had no problem with this.
[After the Park Ranger arrived, the meeting then continued in the community room.]
Old Business:
1. Halloween Decorating Award. The Pilgers would be sent a letter advising them of the gift certificate awarded by the Association and would be asked to attend the January meeting.
2. Picnic. Since only approximately 35-40 people attended the picnic, the Board would look into having it moved earlier in the year, i.e., third Sunday in May or the last Sunday in April. Hopefully, this will encourage increased attendance. It was reported that the steaks and chicken were enjoyed by all.
3. Lighting. Since the power to the center island at Stirling is there, on motion made, seconded and unanimously passed, the Board would purchase holiday lights. Gretchen volunteered to purchase these lights.
4. Holiday Awards. The Board would again judge the homes in the community for the six (6) categories established. The list of all homes in the community would be given to the directors at the next meeting and all directors will be asked to complete their judging by December 16th. Howard will again do the final tabulation. The Board would also look into the possibility of purchasing signs to be placed on lawns informing that they were a prior winner.
5. Budget. Jeff will attempt to meet with Don Elbert (prior Treasurer) to facilitate the preparation of the 1999-2000 budget, which is to be discussed at the Board's December 7, 1999 meeting.
6. Landscape. Pan American would be replacing the annuals at the Stirling Road entrance, as well as planting the additional hedge on the west side.
7. Dykes Road Entrance. Jay has been following up with the Town in an attempt to repair the damage to the sod, sprinklers, pavement, etc. He has sent numerous e-mails to various representatives. The Town would be doing the sprinklers and sodding. Jay advised that the Town had called in the contractor's bond which would effectively put them out of business.
8. Huntridge Lots. John will make an attempt to contact the owner (SI Plaster Corporation - Carmello Sclafani) re clearing the lots. The Board would authorize Pan American to clear and cut.
9. Association Computer. Jay purchased Access 2000. He advised that the Association is now Y2K compliant.
The next Board meeting would be December 7, 1999 to discuss the budget.
There being no further business, upon motion duly made and seconded, the meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:00 p.m.
Respectfully submitted
