New Business
The Annual meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 29th at 7:00pm in the Phase 1 park pavilion. The 2015 HOA Board members will be presented at this meeting.
This year, there were 4 board positions open for election. Nobody responded to the request for new nominees to run for election to fill these positions. Of the 4 current board members that have held these positions, 2 have decided to discontinue service to the HOA Board and two have decided to stay on. Very recently, two other Crossings residents have indicated a willingness to serve on the board if needed. In summary, there were 4 positions to fill, and 4 individuals willing to serve (2 current board members and 2 new volunteers). Therefore, the expense of conducting an election (envelopes, postage, etc.) was avoided. Board President Brian Kile will draft an amendment to clarify the current language in the bylaws regarding the election process in this circumstance. The board will review the amendment at the next meeting.
An inquiry was received from a homeowner regarding his options if he is able to determine where the dog droppings in his yard are coming from. Kevin Sullivan will respond to this resident and we will post another notice on the Crossings web-site asking that pet owners respect others’ properties and clean up after their pets.
The next regularly scheduled board meeting will be Wednesday, May 20th at 7:00pm. The location will be determined at the annual meeting. As always, Crossings residents are encouraged to attend the open floor portion of these meetings to share ideas, concerns and recommendations.
