Minutes of Meeting

 

Welcome - John Tomlinson, HOA President.  The meeting was attended by Marc Everson, homeowner; Charlene Fletcher, Treasurer; Doc O’Conner, Vice President; Kent Kiernan, Vice President, and Anina McMurdo, Landscape Coordinator.

 

Marc Everson attended to respond to a letter sent to his household about his and neighborhood children playing in the park and possible vandalism.  His concern was the manner of communication by the Board and the fact that there are larger concerns than neighborhood children playing and digging in the park.  Police have been called and arrests made concerning drug use and sales, drug paraphernalia left behind, and promiscuous behavior on weekends and late evenings.
