Nominating Committee

Pam asked that all Board members advise her whether they were planning on running for the Board for 2020.

Budget

On a motion made and seconded, the Board agreed that the annual assessment for 2020 would be $250. The purpose of the increase was, to rebuild reserves and add a cushion. On a motion made and seconded, the Board agreed to add a line to the 2020 budget for Strategic Projects. It was noted that no funds were budget for such projects at this time. On a motion made and seconded, the Board agreed to present only the 2020 budget to HFCA homeowners at the annual meeting.

Deed and Declaration

Bruce reported that the effort to collect enough signatures to amend the Deed and Declaration had failed, and he would prepare a report to include in the newsletter.

Common Grounds

The condition of the bridges over Rabbit Run were discussed. The ground beneath the bridges (and beneath the path itself) was being eroded away. It was noted that permits would be required for repairing or replacing such bridges, being that they were in a Resource Protection area.
