I would like to ask you sa.cruiser, as well as every other homeowner, what type of improvements would you like to see.
Please do NOT include a park as that has been my personal mission for more than 6 years and was on track until the county stalled the process 2 months ago.
So, please do tell me... WITHOUT CAPS or cursing, what exactly do you want the board to do for you... other that what the board (being unpaid volunteers) to do for you that we have not already done?
What is it that we DO for Kriewald?
1. ensure that CCRs are enforced within the limitations of the law.
2. we have implemented the yard of the Quarter/Year program
3. Ensure that tagging is removed
4. monitor the crime as well as, fully participate in the COP program and ensure that it is fully finded within the community.
5. notify residents of the activities held within the community and the cancellation due to NON-volunteerism (tons of people COMPLAIN.. but usually those are the ones that do NOT volunteer to HELP)
6. We pay to maintain the drainage ditches and common areas as well as the are in front of the housing addition (look at the difference between the area in front of AMBERWOOD VS. ours to see the difference)
7. We recognize and praise our volunteers.
8. We pay for those wonderful streetlights and the replacement of bulbs (which can take a while on CPS's part)
9.We CURRENTLY send out newsletters via the US mail to ALL homeowners to let them know of the activities in the neighborhood...... NOTE this will soon END as I am proposing a paperless option and a website at our next board meeting::::::
10. We ensure that people who are $500 or more BEHIND in thier annual assessments (which means they havent payed in at least 3 years) go to collections. It isnt fair that people who pay should be penalized because of the 15% of people who don't.
11. We pay for and maintain the street signs within the borders of our HOA and there are a few that are currently on special order ::: Calico Corner/Krie Trail :::
12. The Board ALSO ensures that we keep construction trucks OUT of as many residential areas as possible.
13. We call and ensure that the Animal Control Services come out to our neighborhood when it is necessary.
14. We are STILL petitioning the county to take over several sections of our neighborhood. This would save the HOA money and allow us to do MUCH MUCH MORE for our neighborhood.
15. We hold the annual HOA meeting, which... if you had attended.... you would know EXACTLY what the Board is doing, as well as our plans for the future.
So, Sir or Ma'am, what MORE would you like your Board, being VOLUNTEERS, to do for you?
Please do not reply in all caps as it give me a headache to read and feels like you are screaming at me.
Thank you.
