Motion to accept and approve was made by Sue and Brad , 2nd&amp;nbsp; and minutes were approved.&lt;br /&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;By laws (no changes).&lt;br /&gt;4.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Maintenance Report.&lt;br /&gt;Greg provided an update on the gate incident (please see report of emails detailing from long hollow residents).&amp;nbsp; As indicated on the last page of the report , the gate code log helped to identify who might be responsible for the damage.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; A landscaper hired by a long hollow home owner took responsibility. An insurance&amp;nbsp; appraiser&amp;nbsp; came out and a quote for repair is 5k .&amp;nbsp; Insurance will deal with trucking company. The gate and metal work will take approximately 3 weeks to repair.&amp;nbsp; It is unknown if the steel post has been damaged. Greg asked if residents are interested in repairing the gate or not.&amp;nbsp; The consensus is yes to have the gate repaired.&amp;nbsp; It was reported the loops in the pavement prevent the gate from closing. Other suggestions regarding the gate include painting a line in the road&amp;nbsp; or a sign informing guests about the exit gate.&amp;nbsp; A recommendation to delete old gate codes #1431&amp;nbsp; and # 5432, fix the clock to match up with actual time, make the gate stay open longer, continue to manage gate codes, put up a sign to notify routine delivery trucks such as Fed Ex, UPS of changes to the&amp;nbsp; standard codes including a phone number of who to call.&amp;nbsp; Other issues relating to the gate, the other gate is in need of repair and $300 was approved to take care of improvements. A few residents indicated they did not have a gate remote. Greg provided information about entry lights and fence painting which was done 5-6 years ago.&amp;nbsp; All fencing will be painted once gates are repaired.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lawn maintenance provided by Geoscapes, Inc.&amp;nbsp; , Thomas Money (512 )259-1157 company provided services July, August , September and beginning in October provided services at an accelerated pace. Long Hollow Estates may need to find another company.&amp;nbsp; There was discussion about contracting for services every 4 weeks instead of every 6 weeks.&amp;nbsp; Since irrigation is an issue with any plants in the front entrance perhaps a rock feature is the best alternative.&amp;nbsp; Joe expressed an interest in helping with the committee. Budget for maintenance is $7200 &lt;br /&gt;Discussion about fill-in and stamp the cul-de-sac circle at a cost of 15 k was determined to be too costly. &lt;br /&gt;Road work needs to be done this summer June/ July to repair cracks and provide a sealing coat. Discussion turned to making sure the company seals the cracks manually and treat between the concrete and road with Roundup if necessary.&amp;nbsp; The company hired for the work needs to apply the sealing product evenly.&amp;nbsp; John, Brad, Bill and Jim volunteered to oversee and make sure the work is done properly. &lt;br /&gt;5)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Architectural Committee&lt;br /&gt;Joe said they are putting in a new pool and suggestion was made to check with Jonestown about water restrictions.&lt;br /&gt;6)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Treasury Report&amp;nbsp; SueAnderson entered report&amp;nbsp; with a balance&amp;nbsp; of $55,006 with available funds of&lt;br /&gt;$59,244. 14.4K is being budgeted for the road and an increase for lawn maintenance. Up to $7200.00 will cover both maintenance as well as landscaping upgrades to the front entrance.&lt;br /&gt;7)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Budget quarterly dues will remain $100 per quarter per lot with a possible increase to $115 in 3 years.&amp;nbsp; There is not a problem with delinquent quarterly dues.&lt;br /&gt;9)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Board election - all current members will serve another year.&lt;br /&gt;10)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Round Table Discussion&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;a)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Emergency Contact List-an updated contact list was provided to homeowners attending the meeting for review and members were encouraged to make any changes or corrections (especially for LHE homeowners).&lt;br /&gt;b)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Discussion about whether a KnoxBox of each residence's home key would be a good idea in the case of an emergency.&amp;nbsp; It was decided by the owners not to follow up with a Knox Box.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;c} Fire Protection-discussion regarding whether to buy fire hoses, clear brush and have a Fire Department inspection.&amp;nbsp; Fire hydrants are checked every six months and LHE needs to make sure they have a gate code for the neighborhood.&amp;nbsp; After discussion, no action was needed at this time.&lt;br /&gt;d) The owners decided to put up two no trespassing signs in the front entrance area which will allow for prosecution if necessary.

Biggi&amp;nbsp;Sund&amp;nbsp;brought&amp;nbsp;up&amp;nbsp;a&amp;nbsp;concern&amp;nbsp;about&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;condition&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;front&amp;nbsp;gate&amp;nbsp;planting.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The&amp;nbsp;group discussed the situation and James Baldwin made a motion to add a “Front Gate Improvement Project” to the survey, thus potentially putting it up for vote by the lot/home owners.&amp;nbsp; The Project guidelines are as follows:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;•&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Plants must be able to handle extreme drought conditions&lt;br /&gt;•&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Plants must not require any additional watering&lt;br /&gt;•&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Utilize hardscape (i.e. rocks) in the design&lt;br /&gt;•&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Possibly include a sculpture&lt;br /&gt;•&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Remove all weeds as part of project&lt;br /&gt;•&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Provide for ongoing weed maintenance of the area&lt;br /&gt;•&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Does not exceed $4k – if more is required another vote must be taken&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Leonard Liboon seconded the motion.&amp;nbsp; This project will be added to the survey, thus it will be taken to vote by the lot/home owners. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. Greg&amp;nbsp;Behrens&amp;nbsp;asked&amp;nbsp;how&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;quarterly&amp;nbsp;dues&amp;nbsp;are&amp;nbsp;billed.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Sue&amp;nbsp;explained&amp;nbsp;that&amp;nbsp;Susan&amp;nbsp;Friedrich manages the billing and that there is an effort to go electronic billing (i.e. bills sent via e-mail). Bill then noted that the dues are billed in the rears, so dues are due upon receipt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There were no further questions, Sue then returned the control of the meeting to Bill. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bill then thanked to Dave Eberhardt for repairing the gate when it was damaged last summer.&amp;nbsp; He also thanked Patty Rosado for beautifying the gate with the holiday lights along with a wreath. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bill then moved on to discuss the board.&amp;nbsp; He indicated that both Brad and he will not be running for the board.&amp;nbsp; The following persons have come forward to be included in the survey for voting: &lt;br /&gt;•&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Sue Anderson&lt;br /&gt;•&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Greg Behrens&lt;br /&gt;•&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Birgit Sund&lt;br /&gt;•&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Julia Baldwin&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If anyone would like to be considered for the board of directors please use the Other field in the election portion of the survey. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Plus, if anyone wants to learn more about the roles and the process please refer to the HOA website:&amp;nbsp; Article V in the bylaws page at http://www.longhollowestates.org/Bylaws.aspx. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There were no further questions or comments.&amp;nbsp; The meeting adjourned at 2:50pm. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><pubDate>Thu, 01 Mar 2012 00:00:00 Z</pubDate><a10:link href="http://www.longhollowestates.org/2012/3/1/Annual-Meeting-Minutes-from-222012.aspx" /><a10:rights type="text" /><trackback:ping>http://www.LongHollowEstates.org/trackback.aspx?id=6e2016c2-79c1-47ef-9cb8-191a8ae0a8a4&amp;type=5</trackback:ping><pingback:server>http://www.LongHollowEstates.org/pingback.aspx</pingback:server><pingback:target>http://www.LongHollowEstates.org/2012/3/1/Annual-Meeting-Minutes-from-222012.aspx</pingback:target></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">0a2e2174-b40a-4a09-b7a5-ac843bbf8975</guid><link>http://www.longhollowestates.org/2011/7/21/Annual-Meeting-Minutes-from-2132011.aspx</link><title>Annual Meeting Minutes from 2/13/2011</title><description>The ninth annual meeting of the Long Hollow Estates Owners Association, Inc. was held on February 13, 2011 beginning at 2:02pm at True Grits restaurant in Jonestown. The following are the minutes of that meeting:&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;Members attending:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;Roy Eggenberger&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;Michael Danahy&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;James &amp;amp; Julia Baldwin&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;Sue Anderson &amp;amp; Dave Eberhardt&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;Bill &amp;amp; Brenda Carr                                                                                                                                               &lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;Renwin &amp;amp; Isabella Yee                                                                                                                                                                                                  &lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;Tracy Bunnell&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;Paul &amp;amp; Karen Miller&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;David &amp;amp; Patty Rosado&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;Curtis &amp;amp; Birgit Sund&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;Curtis Sund called the meeting to order at 2:02 PM.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;The Feb 14, 2010 minutes were reviewed. Paul Miller made a motion to approve the minutes. Roy Eggenberger seconded that motion. The minutes were approved unanimously.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;Curtis reviewed the most recent changes to the By-laws all of which were reviewed at the previous meeting, but never officially amended. They will be amended and sent out.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;Curtis gave the maintenance report starting with the Fence. The Board will look at getting the fence painted next year. Last year, quotes were obtained from several lawn maintenance companies.  The Board made a change to the company that was used in the past and are happy with the service as well as a significant savings due to the change. Paul asked to obtain quotes on maintaining the cul-de-sac areas including the trees that are within the cul-de-sac.  Sue discussed the need to look at having the road resealed since this year will be the third year since it was last sealed. The last quote given was $10K. We will look at getting another quote. Karen Miller asked if we are sure it really needs to be sealed every 3 yrs considering there is so little traffic. The Board will ask again to ensure it is necessary. Curtis discussed the Gate. The codes (1431/5432) will be changed. The temporary code will be ‘LAKE’. Curtis went over how difficult the software is in dealing with our gate and getting multiple codes. Due to the difficulty in programming the gate, Curtis has offered to take the ‘gatekeeper’ role and maintain the codes.  Curtis will put a note on the gate asking FedEx, UPS, etc… to contact him directly for their new code.   Each lot owner will be asked for a code that they will use.  Usage reports will be run periodically and reported on.  A knox box will be installed by the gate company. The only solution for power outages on the gate are taking it apart or installing batteries to each gate that will automatically open them should the power go out. The battery for each side of the gate is $550 each and $300 to install. We will ask about getting a battery for just one side to save money and will also inquire about how to test the batteries and the battery life.  Being a new feature, the addition of this will need to be voted on by the community.  In the meantime, Paul Miller offered to document how to disassemble the gate should a power outage occur.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;Patty Rosado provided an update on the Architectural Committee. She reminded everyone of the need to submit plans for any new construction or improvement. Patty also asked that everyone make sure that you survey and put up lines when taking down trees so you don’t accidentally take down your neighbors trees. You also cannot take down trees between March-August unless you receive a special permit (due to golden cheek warblers). There have been 2 plans submitted this year and both were approved. One for new construction and one for an improvement. Curtis gave an update that the Board has asked the Architectural Committee that they take before and after pictures with new construction so we are aware of road conditions pre and post construction.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;Curtis reviewed the voting procedures and announced the new web site he created with all of the community information (www.longhollowestates.org). He also reminded informed everyone of new Board email addresses (hoa@longhollowestates.org) and the address for the Architectural Committee (acc@longhollowestates.org) if needing to submit plans.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;Sue Anderson, the treasurer of the board, reviewed the profits and losses. She also discussed the budget and the potential need to raise dues by $10 should we decide to reseal the road this year. Paul asked if we all feel okay with the current reserves and whether we need that much. The decision was made that we have enough reserves but that we should redistribute the targets (specifically not needing so much in the legal) and that we can keep the dues at $100 for this year.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;Curtis reviewed Board Elections and that each position runs each year. He asked who would like to serve on the Board this year. Sue Anderson and Bill Carr expressed their interest. No one else volunteered. Paul Miller expressed that it is very important that every lot/home owner take his/her turn to serve on the Board.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;Curtis asked whether we should have a 3rd party manage the HOA. It is difficult to serve on the Board and enforce things when relationships with neighbors are at stake. We discussed an intermediary. Karen asked if Susan Friedrich could serve that role. Karen said that Susan had mentioned she would be willing to take on more with her current role.
