Board Meeting March 9th

The Board of directors met at the clubhouse March 9th and discussed the following topics: landscaping issues, maintenance of entry railings and Forest exterior doors, pool maintenance vendors, and a system for the pool that would monitor and adjust the chlorine levels.

Landscaping: Robert Littleton (Landscape Committee Chair) gave a report.  Half of our community had new plants installed.  The second half will be done in the next few months.   We have sent  plant list to our vendor for a quote.  Some rock has been installed in the landscape.  This also is still a work in progress.

Pool Maintenance: The Board agreed to install a system that will automatically monitor and adjust the chlorine in our pool.  At the next meeting will choose a maintenance vendor and pool monitors.

Forest doors refinishing: ‘Color Perfexion’ was hired to work on two Forest doors.  This work was compared to the work of Two Brothers.  The Board has decided to go with Color Perfexion.  Approximately 30 of the most needy doors will be addressed in the first phase this year.  (If you believe your door should be included in this group, please let the Board know ASAP.)

Ongoing maintenance: Crews will be in our neighborhood in March cleaning gutters (Windwood, Trillium, and Foresta), fixing some metal railings, and tree trimming.

In addition to the Board and a TMG representative, twelve homeowners were in attendance.  After the meeting, there was an informal gathering downstairs.

Meeting minutes will not be official until approved by the Board at the April 13th meeting.  All meeting minutes are posted on TMG’s site.

Board Meeting February 9th

The Board of directors met at the clubhouse February 9th and discussed the following topics: end of year financial statement, landscaping issues, maintenance of entry railings and Forest exterior doors, Clubhouse reservations, and a system for the pool that would monitor and/or adjust the chlorine levels.

Year end financial statement: We finished the year in the black.  One of the budget items was deferred until this budget year (plant replacements) .  Still, revenues exceeded expenses.

Landscaping issues: The Board agreed to a three year plan for tree pruning (funded from reserves).  This was recommended by the landscaping committee.  Also, a large broken tree behind 10152 SW Windwood Way will be removed on Feb 16th.   Landscapers will be at the clubhouse on the same day trimming trees. A proposal for fixing a drainage issue near 10198 SW Morrison was approved.

Exterior doors: Some of the Forest doors are in need of repair or refinishing.  We have been unable to make contact with the original vendor. The same vendor who recently painted our homes was hired to repair one door on Taylor.  The Board also tasked another vendor to repair one door on Windwood and one door on Morrison.  The work on these two doors is pending warmer weather.

The Board amended to Clubhouse Reservation Policy by removing the clause that limited the user to the lower level.

Repair work to some entry railings will be done in the next few weeks (weather permitting).
