2025 Board Accomplishments & 2026 Board Goals

2025 Board of Directors

• Walter Bolles, President
• Tricia McDonnell Garrison, Vice President
• Eileen Dills, Secretary & Treasurer
• Al Burgun, Arc Committee
• Chris Becker, Landscaping Committee

Accomplishments

Last year in 2025 we did an enormous push to formalize our HOA’s standard operating procedures across the board, so future boards and board members would have a much easier time understanding their roles and responsibilities. The board did not take on any new large initiatives relative to prior years, instead focusing on getting back to the basics.

This year was about maintaining and cultivating those changes and lessons learned, so the day-to-day volunteer workload for board members continues to be reduced to more sustainable levels, is more consistent, and everyone knows their roles and responsibilities. The board did respond to community feedback regarding mailbox maintenance and upkeep, and made that a focus of the fourth quarter. Thank you to everyone for your hard work in helping getting mailboxes up to covenant standards.

• Board Meetings: We’ve continued to maintain the standards we set in 2025. Homeowners continue to have consistent visibility into board discussions and decisions, with full documentation available. Meeting time management has also improved respecting everyone’s valuable time they’re setting aside for attendance.
• Continuity & Turnover: With documented procedures, clearly defined roles and responsibilities, a complete record keeping of prior board decisions, and a code of conduct, new board members have a structured foundation to step into where they can be quickly on-boarded. This year we had the addition of a new board member and they were smoothly integrated.
• Stability: We had no major unexpected roadblocks or urgent concerns. The board does continue to have intermittent issues with consistency of service with Cedar Management, but this is being actively addressed and closely monitored at all times by the executive committee.

Next year the board expects to continue the focus on stability and consistency, completing the final phases of the 2024 landscaping plan, and updating the rules and regulations to help better track rentals and hold them to the same covenant standards as the rest of the neighborhood.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you for your continued engagement and support. We remain committed to serving the best interests of our homeowners and ensuring our association operates with professionalism and integrity.
