Community Letter and Final Voting Ballot Tally

Hello Everyone,

We want to start by saying thank you to everyone who came out and joined us for the HOA annual meeting/potluck. The weather was great and it was nice to be outside and visiting; we are grateful for the opportunity for all of us to get to know each other a little better.

The following is an overview for everyone to keep current on the topics that were discussed.

            We are excited to add some additional security features that were approved such as the tree’s to block off access from 19^th which will be implemented as soon as the weather permits. The lighting for the common area park was also passed and will be integrated very soon. Thank you to all who showed up and gave their opinions on the House Rules and Regulations, we are working on the second revision and will submit it for review promptly.

The community asked for payment options for our dues and it was decided to allow quarterly, bi-annual and yearly payments. We did vote on raising the dues to $400 due to the fact that we are in need of adding revenue back to savings which was taken out to minimize the impact of the lost income due to foreclosures that did not pay dues.

Please watch for future updates from us.  We will be in touch soon! 

Thanks all!

Bordeaux HOA
