C.     Hiring of Subcontractors

Quote from Brickman Group based on the scope of the current contract is still the best bit (approx. $11,000 versus last year’s actual cost of $14,784). Tim will try to obtain some additional quotes, so that a decision can be made by March 1.

E.      Newsletter

Janet presented a draft of the Huntington Woods Newsletter and a new complaint form for homeowners. The newsletter together with a copy of the complaint form and an architectural review form will be mailed out with the next association fee statement in mid March.

Mike will send a copy of a draft architectural review form to Janet.

 

F.      Huntington Woods Web Site

Tom presented the new Huntington-Woods website (http://www.huntington-woods.com). The content of the website was reviewed. It was suggested to remove the birth dates of children currently listed in the resident directory. To log in as a board member use Username: **** and password: ****, to log in as a resident use Username: **** and password: ****.

Once the website goes online the proposal is to use the resident’s last name as the username and the last name plus street number as the password (e.g. Longest and Longest1171)

 

G.     Architectural Reviews

No new submissions

 

H.     Traffic Control at Entrance

Mike Latz talked to the Zionsville town planner, Ed Mitro, regarding installation of traffic control devices at the entrance of the subdivision. Mr. Mitro is familiar with the subdivision and felt that some traffic control would be appropriate at the ‘T’ intersection. However, his department does not handle such issues. This matter would be handled through the street department (Street Superintendent Lance Lantz). It would take an ordinance passed by the Town Council to install traffic control devices. Mike will talk to Lance Lantz regarding making such a request to the Town Council.

 

I.       Other Business

Jon proposed to remove the ‘No Soliciting’ sign at the entrance to the subdivision and replace it with a new more attractive and more visible sign. Approved by the Board.

 

Tim Isle received a complaint from a resident regarding old tires stored in trees and shrubs in a near by lot. Tim will follow up with the owner.
