Adjournment: Meeting adjourned by Neil Gavrich due to time constraint of virtual platform
  • Discussion regarding political signs/flags from 2020 election to continue via email and board to make a determination on direction for appeal from Nancy Hall.

Next Regular Board Meeting:  October 5th, 2021 7:00PM, likely to be held virtually due to Covid-19. Normal meetings at the Fire Station to be conducted the first Tuesday of the month that follows, except in August and December when there will be no meeting.
Appeal of Nancy Hall
    It was noted in May that Nancy was displaying a presidential election flag on her property. At the time, no other households were displaying political candidate signs or otherwise for the 2020 election (6 months before). Nancy was informed via letter that she was not in compliance with HOA rules regarding political signs (to be removed immediately after elections). She requested an appeal but refused to join a virtual meeting, so an email appeal was submitted by her before the September meeting. Nancy made an appeal that 1) he flag is not a sign 2) BLM flags and “In our America” signs are still  in peoples yards (she believes them to be political in nature) 3) She is being singled out based on her political affiliation 4) The rules regarding political signs, adopted in 2007, were not properly adopted based on homeowner votes.
Board members discussed the appeal and the following determination was made:
  • Nancy Hall is NOT in compliance with HOA rules (rules and fines adopted in 2007) due to the 2020 election ending in November (now over 9 months ago)
  • Based on voting members (via email); 6 voted she is not compliant, 1 abstained
  • Nancy Hall is to remove her flag from the 2020 election or face fines (based on previous letter in May 2021).
    Board member discussions via email
  • Board members discussed at length, the verbiage of the “signs” section of the original covenants, stating “no signs allowed, with exception of... one professional sign”. Interpretation of “professional sign” has been, per precedent, signs that are professionally made and in compliance with size restrictions. Majority of the board agrees with this interpretation.
  • Board members discussed Nancy claiming to be singled out based on political affiliation; the neighborhood was inspected prior to the September meeting and only 1 household was found to display anything related to ANY 2020 election candidates campaigns (Nancy Hall). One household was found to be displaying two signs and that was brought to the attention of the board prior to the meeting. Majority of the board agreed that she is not singled out based on political beliefs or affiliation, but rather she is the only one not in compliance with the rules.
  • Board members discussed having an in person meeting regarding Nancy’s appeal; the majority of the board did not see a reason for an in person event, given current situation of Covid-19 cases  and the ability to conduct business virtually.

Homeowners Concerns:
  • Chris: Large improvement / Remodel (plans submitted early May to the board). Discussion about vehicle lift being installed in lower garage portion (to be used for personal use, not commercial). Discussion about timeline of construction. Chris hoping to finish this year, but still waiting on permits to begin moving forward on parts of the project. Board approved tentative design. Will continue to keep in touch with Architecture chair during process

Treasurer: John Chapman
  • Roughly $19k in dues paid so far (better than previous years)
 
Secretary: Josh Gavrich

Safety:  Steve Schroeder
  • Meeting with Fire Department about green spaces. Fire department assessment is that our green spaces are predominantly well positioned if a fire exists in the area. Tree limbs <10 ft from ground should be removed. Cleanup of ground cover looks good, but picking up broken branches and leaves would help to suppress fires. Ferns (which we are abundant with) are great due to fire resistant nature. Worst area is SW end of east woods (very overgrown). Steve to look into some companies for helping us clear out the area (limbs, ground cover, etc). Steve to write up a blurb to communicate on the website and facebook about the fire department assessment.
  • Discussion about a flashing stop sign. Neil to do some more research and find ones that Happy Valley uses so we can match those.
 
Covenants:
  • Not present

  • Roof replacement on King Way. Board not informed ahead of time, but seems to be right after storm.  Josh to follow up
