MEMBER CONERNS

 

Jane Drolett, 6109 Haag

 

Ms. Drolett brought several issues to the Boards’ attention.  Unfortunately, because most of these issues happened in the past, the Board could not address them fully.  Ms. Drolett and other members present were reminded to always bring their issues/concerns/to the attention of Management or the Board when they are happening.  It is only at this time that issues/concerns can be investigated and dealt with appropriately.   

 

Jessica Sundeen, 1704 Georgetown

 

Ms. Sundeen was concerned about dog feces in her yard area.  Management asked that she wait until the Pet Policy was discussed later in the meeting.  Ms. Sundeen agreed.

 

Shelly Reimbold, 1704 Georgetown

 

Ms. Reimbold asked about access/use of Highlands’ property and materials by after hours or emergency maintenance staff.  Management will investigate her concerns.

 

Tracy Hale, 6130 Balfour

 

Ms. Hale indicated that she was very happy at Highlands, and thanked the Board for their work and commitment to keeping the property so nice. 

 

 

 

Helen Geiger, 6107 Haag

 

Ms. Geiger stated she had concerns about the lawn mowing in her area as it has some- times looked uncut.  Management identified both wet grass, and an adjustment to one of the mowers that was needed as a possible cause.  Hopefully this problem has been eliminated.   Ms. Geiger also indicated concern that the wrought iron railings throughout the cooperative are in need of maintenance, asked if there were any plans to do so, and suggested the product CLR as a possible solution.  Management will follow-up with maintenance regarding this concern.      

 

Pet Policy/Deck Policy/Privacy Fence Policy

 

Discussion regarding these policies included content changes, and grammatical corrections.  All three policies were tabled until next month.  Management will make corrections and present to Board then. 

 

OLD/NEW BUSINESS

 

Nothing was identified at this time.

 

Meeting Adjourned at 7:55 p.m.
