8:10 – New Business: It was brought up that maybe we could see about doing a small Solar Powered Ring type Camera on the poll at the entrance to Rhody Lane and Eric said he’d check on it. Discussed that we’re waiting on requested Landscaping Bids. So far, of the five we reached out to, one declined for now, one wanted $900 a month which is way too much. Expecting two more bids by month's end that have confirmed they’ll bid. Board Members, mainly Eric, Dan & Randy agreed to keep doing what they can to keep up with our landscaping needs like they did all of 2020, till we find an affordable landscape. We will also piece-meal out work if we need something done we can’t do, or just can’t get too.
2021 Dues: Will remain the same at $400 with a new option to pay Semi-Annually at $220 by March 30th and $220 by September 30th. The extra $40 is to cover admin time but will go straight into our reserves for future needs.
2022 Dues: It was discussed that we had some of the lowest Dues in the surrounding neighborhoods and due to raising cost of landscaping, future maintenance needs, Etc., a motion was made to increase our Dues to $500 starting in 2022 with and option to pay Semi-Annually at $270 by March 30th and $270 by September 30th. The extra $40 is to cover admin time but will go straight into our reserves for future needs. The motion was seconded and the vote was unanimous in the affirmative.
