Summary of Hammocks HOA Projects Discussed:
- Signs to prevent pickup and drop off of students in place at all three entrances.
- Sprinklers are being maintained and tested by the President and Vice President due to cost associated with the previous company.
- The lights for the Hammocks entrance are new and are now LED lights. Last longer and cheaper to operate.
- Flower beds have grown in nicely and thank you to all who help maintain the beds
- Mowing and trimming is a major expense but necessary.
- Fence is completed. Now have a gate at the West end since the section was torn down numerous times. Will stain in early November once the fence has cured.
- Treasury Report Given. Fence fund generated just over 50% of the cost for the fence. Reserves are still around $10,000. Dues do not cover complete cost of maintenance and repairs. 71% of homeowners paid dues last year. $7,325.00 brought in by dues. Thanked the homeowners who paid additional funds toward dues.
- Discussed increasing dues. All in attendance agreed dues should be raised to $75 a year. Also agreed to start dues drive at the beginning to February vice January since some families may still be recovering from Christmas bills in January.
- Next project being explored is the pond South of Foxcroft Drive East, East of Hammock drive, and North of Spottswood Circle. Pond needs to be evaluated by professionals. Discussed placing a bench near the pond for all homeowners to utilize. The pond is home to an abundance of wildlife.
- Questions taken. One homeowner asked about sending letters out about parking on the street or in the grass. Courtesy letter. Asked about no soliciting in the Hammocks.
- President to retire in January of 2023. Joe Lopez to become President. Jil Prantner to become Vice President. Ivanna Downs to become Secretary. Treasurer position open.
- Meeting adjourned.
