Several negative comments re: sign’s appearance.

 “Possibly different sign”

 “Put this in for now, but plan for better sign in the future.”

The board looked into other sign possibilities, but found the quotes and options to be much more expensive or unattractive. 

 

The sign approved by the majority of homeowners should immediately provide a landmark to folks coming to the neighborhood.   If you are interested in planning for a more attractive sign for the future, please contact the board.

“I think the issue of having the city maintain, insure, etc. should be further researched at this point.”

 

 

Our plats state that the Homeowners Association is responsible for the maintenance of these areas.  The plats set the responsibility for maintenance.

 

Becky Moore (city mayor) and Joe Hoffman (city attorney) stated they would be willing to consider taking over these areas. This proposal would have to be approved by the city council, and would be a difficult measure to justify.

 

Larry Mitchum is heading a committee to research this further, and will present a proposal to our Civic Action committee to take before the City Council.  Contact Larry if you are interested in helping.

Obtain liability for the common areas and HOA directors / officers for an annual premium between $1,800-$2,300.

“I can’t believe it would be this high when no structures are involved.  I believe you need to talk with other insurance companies.”

It was difficult to get responses from companies, especially as an insurance agent (other companies view it as competition).

 

Larry Mitchum obtained other quotes; Mary Legge is reviewing them, and will recommend the best offer.  The prices came in at $1,300 and $1,775 respectively. 

 

Mary and Larry will recommend the lowest cost insurance that meets our requirements.
