Meeting Minutes- Windgate Farms II Annual Homeowners Meeting 11/23/09

Election of Board Members:
Brian Leister and Heather Mighton were both re-elected to the Board of Directors for another 2 year term.
Old Business:
This past year, improvements were made to the Aftons Circle open space by seeding the grassy area. In addition, grate covers were installed over all the drainage openings in the basins for safety purposes. Our subcontracted landscaper, Doug, will ensure that branches and leaves do not become trapped in the coverings and homeowners are asked to let a board member know if they notice this happening.
New Business:
Neighborhood entrance signs and lighting are a potential improvement project for 2010. We are in the process of contacting contractors, designing what the signs will look like and obtaining bids. We will keep homeowners updated as we narrow down the design aspects and cost of this project. We plan to allow homeowners to vote on the final choices after the holidays. In addition, we are obtaining bids and considering installing low wattage, discreet, street lights in a few of the dark corners of the neighborhood. More information on this at a later date as well.
Safety Reminders:
Please remember to replace lamp post bulbs when they burn out and remember to lock all doors and windows, especially when many of our neighbors are away for the holidays. Report any suspicious behavior to the East Vincent Police.
Speeding in our Neighborhood:
Please slow down in the neighborhood! The posted speed limit signs are 25 mph and are the absolute maximum speed in our neighborhood. Ideally, we should be driving slower throughout our neighborhood because of all the small children. Please remind your family members, neighbors and visitors to your home to slow down. If you see someone speeding, please get the license number, make and model and contact the East Vincent Police. We have talked to them and they will follow up on any speeding violations.
Website Reminder:
We have gone green and done away with our quarterly printed newsletter. You can now see all our happenings on this website. Please email Heather Mighton at heathermighton@comcast.net if you have any neighborhood or community information you would like added to the site.
