The Hickory Woods Board of Directors meeting on 23 March covered a wide range of agenda topics. We continued to interview property management companies looking for a company that will meet all of our needs at the right price.  After talking with three companies we are ready to move on to the next step of formally defining our specifications and getting bids from the prospective companies.

The Board has defined our process for reviewing and approving homeowner requests for “additions, alterations or improvements,” as defined in our Bylaws. We will be posting information and a form that should make the approval process quick and easy for both homeowners and the Board.  Using the new process and form we received, reviewed and approved the first three requests submitted to the Board.

In other business, we approved the purchase of folding tables and chairs for the clubhouse. These will allow us to have a more comfortable setting for dinners and other functions.  We also agreed to allocate some of the non-HOA money (funds collected through donations or from activities) to decorate the clubhouse for Italian night, next month.

We continue to look for ways to better communicate with all of the HW residents. To accomplish this we will be examining the website usage to see how well it is enabling our communication goals and we will be asking each of you how you would like to receive information and provide feedback.

Sincerely,

The Hickory Woods Board of Directors
