HOA Board Meeting Minutes – May 2, 2023

Meeting Duration: 6:30pm to 7:30pm
Board Members Present: Sean Riley, Scott Aurand, Marc Bohn, ST Womack, Pat Friel, and Mike Willemin
Non-Board Homeowners Present: Dana Correll

  • Meeting Management: HOA President Sean Riley chaired the meeting.
  • Meeting Minutes: Minutes from April 18, 2023 Board Meeting and March Annual Meeting are still being drafted and will be approved at a future Board Meeting.
  • General Business:
    • Trash Cans: The Board began by discussing a Homeowner email to the Board about residents failing to retrieve their empty trash cans after trash collection and simply leaving them on the street for days (and in some cases the entire week). He pointed out that the cans were an eye sore and a potential traffic hazard. Given that the Covenants require residents to retrieve their trash receptacles and store them off the street, he asked the Board to send friendly reminders to any homeowners who are neglecting to retrieve their receptacles. The Board acknowledged the Homeowners concerns, and Scott Aurand volunteered to reach out to any residents out of compliance.
    • Banner on Entrance Sign: A Board member noted that there was currently a banner tied to the Homestead community sign off 285. Marc Bohn noted that the Board had given Sharon Malek email approval to hang the sign during the week leading up to “Community Wildfire Preparedness Day” on May 6th.
  • Treasurer Update: ST Womack provided a financial update:
    • There are now five homeowners that have yet to pay their 2023 annual dues, which were due on March 11.
    • Pursuant to our HOA policies, ST sent a “first notice” to six homeowners with unpaid dues on April 15 using the format recommended by the HOA’s law firm. He is now preparing to send a second notice to those homeowners whose dues remain unpaid as of May 15.
    • ST made only one payment this past month, which was to Jefferson County for Property Tax.
  • Architectural Update: The Architectural Committee had no update.
  • Maintenance Update: Scott Aurand reported that:
    • Potholes: Jefferson County closed out his request to have the potholes on Flint, Mariposa and Ault repaired, and Scott said his understanding is that they would be patching (as opposed to repaving) the potholes this month.
    • Speed Limit Signs: He has also continued to reach out to Jefferson County and leave messages to request installation of new speed limit signs and monitoring by the traffic radar trailer.
  • Secretary’s Report: Marc Bohn had no report.
  • Social Committee Update: No Social Committee update.
  • Miscellaneous Updates:
    • Fire District Consolidation: Area Fire Departments are holding open houses about the proposed plan to consolidate the Fire Districts, including three coming up on Saturdays in May. Residents should have received a mailer about these events. Information is also available on the local Fire Station’s website.
    • Homestead Website: It was noted that the Homestead’s website still listed the HOA’s old Board members, which Marc Bohn said he would correct.
  • Next Meeting: Tentatively June 6, 2023.
