- Sidewalk Repairs – Tree Removal Impact
- Board discussed impact and specific instances within the community. No action from the Board was taken at this time. AMS will review CC&R’s, community guidelines, Washington County policies, etc. and inform homeowners to possibly replace the tree and/or repair the sidewalks.
- Weekly Trash Bin Compliance Enforcement – March/April Update, Compliance Services – May
-
- Board discussed this issue at length. AMS detailed the current process: first violation is a friendly reminder, second violation is a “notice to correct” where the homeowner has 14 days to request a board hearing, and third violation results in a fine.
- AMS performed a compliance check in the beginning of March and noted approximately 67 violations but failed to process them, of which the HOA will not be charged. A second compliance check occurred in early April where approximately 50 violations of visible trash cans were reported and processed, of which only a handful of those resulted in fines.
- Board members requested AMS to pause on the third compliance check due to garbage pickup dates changing across the community. Board members reported the new trash day is Monday so AMS can continue checks on Wednesdays.
- Board moved to table the topic for now. Joe and Kay to discuss forming a compliance committee to handle this situation with systematic regular monitoring and reporting. Previously, Arbor Ridge had such a monitoring/reporting group.
