D. Architectural Control Committee. Barbara reported that Jason Kirkpatrick has expressed interested in becoming member.

E. Readdress Driveway Issue 4229 SW 68th Terrace. Barbara reported that because of depth of parking lot, she can understand resident’s complaint. Since architecturally, the aprons on either side of driveway must match, Geoff suggested a solution might be to expand the parking lot. Martha Graham made motion to allow expansion of driveway if neighbors agree. Or expansion of apron would be approved—as long as neighbors do the same. It is the resident’s responsibility to get agreement among her neighbors. Barbara seconded. Approved.

F. Tree Damage (discussed in depth at Sept meeting). Public Works agrees that the tree is their responsibility.

New Business:

A. Neighborhood yard sale and budget. Tiffany requested purchase of 6 permanent yard sale signs. Board requested that she get estimated cost and present to Board.

B. Increase in Dues. As previously agreed, 2012 annual dues are to be raised by 5% (from $69 to $72.45). Christy motioned 2012 dues to be $72, Tiffany seconded. A signature approval of Board members will be presented at a later meeting.

OCTOBER 13, 2011

Attendance: Geoff Spiegel*, Alisha Jordan*, Tiffany Ireland*, Barbara Fish*, Carol Couch, 3 community residents.

Quorum Established, meeting called to order at 7:03pm.

Approval of September 15, 2011 Board Meeting minutes.

Officer Reports

President:

A. Homeowners’ Associations must enforce Restrictive Covenants.

B. Procedure for Enforcement: A notice of violation sent with 30 days to comply. If homeowner has not complied at end of 30 period, HOA has right to take matter to court. Then the court will enforce compliance, which can include placing a lien on the property. It is up to the Board to see that the covenants are enforced.

C. Common Areas Report: A common area is defined as any land set aside for neighborhood use and drainage right of ways owned by Public Works. And then there are common areas which bring up the question are they common to the building or common to Green Leaf, which has been investigated recently by Real Estate attorney Chic Holden. Geoff provided some insight in his presentation.

D. Architectural Control Committee: (Same information under Agenda New Business A). Geoff reported a previous misunderstanding that this Committee served the Board in an advisory capacity. However, the Architectural Control Committee has the sole responsibility in architectural decisions as they apply to the Covenants. Therefore, the Committee can be comprised solely of Board members or, what is preferable, a combination of Board members and community residents. Tiffany and Barbara each have talked to a resident who has expressed interest in serving on this Committee.

Other Officer Reports:

A. Tiffany Ireland is preparing neighborhood newsletter which will include information on annual Trick or Treat Canned Food Drive for the Bread of the Mighty Food Bank, Community Yard Sale (Check GLHOA Facebook page on this topic), and other news of community interest.

B. Also check out Facebook page to give your vote for a leash-free area for dogs in our neighborhood.

C. Tiffany requested a budget for Halloween event. Geoff made a motion for a budget of $100, seconded by Barbara. Unanimously approved.

D. Reported need for doggie bags for the Doggie Pots.

Business Manager Report: Carol Couch reported 60 units still have not paid dues and that there is a $500 attorney fee to file liens. September 2011 financial statement given to each Board member/resident present. Also on file with Secretary and available for review by residents.

Security Officer Report: Officer Pagel reported a “rash of residential burglaries” during September. And suggested making sure doors are locked using as many auxiliary locking devices as possible, keeping valuables out of sight.

Calls to Alachua County Sheriff’s Office during September
Suspicious Activity – 1 Suspicious Person – 1
Burglary of Conveyance – 1 Burglary of Residence – 5
Disturbance – 1 Juvenile Problem – 1
Assist Citizen - 1

Old Business:

A. Spring Festival Report – Although Christy Lopez not available for report, it was agreed among the members present that it was a success and a good way for community to come together.

B. Covenant Violations at 4304 SW 70 Terrace. First and second letters have been sent.

C. Other Covenant Violations: Board may periodically walk the neighborhood to check for violations and appropriate letters will then be sent by the Board.

D. My Community Plus discussion - tabled until next meeting.

New Business:

A. Architectural Control Committee – See above president’s report.

B. Broken Pipe Issue @ 7026 SW 46th Ave – Resident believes that G-Leaf’s lawn care service’s mower ran over it. However, the Board did not see the resident’s letter until nearly 2 months later. Because of delay in receiving the information, we can’t refute; so Geoff recommended Green Leaf pay for the damage ($110.41). His motion passed unanimously.

C. Driveway Issue @ 4229 SW 68th Terrace, Unit A – Resident complains of not having enough room to enter her parking area; wants to alter the curb to make entrance easier. Request was denied by the Board 3-1.

D. Carol Couch, in response to difficulties in enforcing covenant violations, suggested applying the same procedure for collecting dues to covenant violations. She handed out a “WARNING” notice which would be provided to homeowners notifying them of the procedure to be effective January 1, 2012. Tiffany made a motion to approve the procedure, Alisha seconded. After discussion, Alisha amended the motion to “Accept the process, but reword the Warning statement”. Approved unanimously. A draft will be presented at next meeting.

Neighbor Concerns: 3 residents were present to discuss who is responsible for the tree damage to their residences on 46th Street. Geoff’s research revealed that Green Leaf does own this particular common area; however, it is a dedicated easement maintained by Public Works and is enclosed by a locked chained fence. Geoff’s opinion is that since it is restricted by the locked fence, it is not our responsibility. Geoff, on behalf of Green Leaf, spoke with GL’s insurance company and suggested that the homeowners speak with their insurance companies. Now that the affected residents have more insight, they expressed interest in contacting Public Works themselves regarding a resolution.

Next Board Meeting November 10 @ 7pm.

Meeting adjourned 10pm

SEPTEMBER 13, 2011

Available by Phone:  Donald Powell, Treasurer.  Tiffany Ireland, Director.  Martha Graham, Director.

This month’s meeting turned out to be not a formal meeting, with only 3 Board members plus the Business Manager present.  However, the following business was discussed.

The financial statement was presented by C. Couch and is attached to these minutes.  The checking account balance as of e/o January is $10,097.64.

Harassing Phone Calls – 1   Assist Citizen – 5   Hazardous Conditions – 1

57 Patrols were made.

Old business:  C. Couch investigated an improperly-placed street light and found that we have been paying for a light (at the 69th/67th intersection) that we don’t actually have since April, 2007.  GRU will credit GreenLeaf $889.93.  And concerning a new light at our common area, GreenLeaf would need to pay to have a cable run to that area, and GRU would then put up the light at no cost.  The new light would then be part of our utility bill.  Due to the expense of running the cable, GreenLeaf will not at this time be doing this.

There is nothing new to report on covenant violations.

Spring Festival:  Food and event sponsors are being lined up.  We need more donors, organizations, who will contribute gift certificates or free services.  Booths may also be set up by non-profit, community-related, and yard-oriented groups/artists/craftsman.  There will be fun events, giveaways and activities for children.  SATURDAY, MARCH 19.

Biannual Spring Festival, lead by Christy Lopez, will be held weekend of March 19. A budget of $1800 was approved, which includes plant give-away, food, printing and Crime Watch.

Business Manager’s Presentation (Nov. Meeting), copy of which was on hand for each member. Due to time constraints, the only item discussed was the request by Bus. Mgr. for an unlimited calling plan for long distance service to be paid to her by GreenLeaf.  The Board expressed reluctance to do this because the latest Bus. Mgr.’s contract had raised her salary by 52% and that she was an independent contractor hired by the Board, not an employee.  Other possible suggestions, such as Magic Jack, which would also serve to give GreenLeaf a permanent business telephone number, were opposed by Ms. Couch.  Barbara Fish made a motion to grant request for this contract period, provided the detailed call section from the monthly telephone bill be presented at each meeting.  Seconded by Martha Graham.  Vote was 3 in favor, 1 opposed and 2 abstaining.                                                                                                                 
                    

New Business:  None.  And no homeowner’s issues presented.

Spring Yard Sale:  Will be held around April 16, 2011.

Biannual Spring Festival:  Christy suggested that it possibly be held weekend March 19 and requested $1800 be approved for this Festival.  Treasurer objected in that budget is not on the agenda.  Martha suggested we lower our spending and consider other options, such as potluck.  Christy said that it is the one event the community participates in and that it includes a Crime Watch meeting, that the caters usually give us a significantly-reduced price.  Kathy Medlock suggested smoothies instead of food.  Result of discussion is that date was set for weekend of March 19; budget for the event was tabled.

Meeting Locations:  Barbara Fish made a motion that, since the library has become unreliable as a regular meeting place, we hold our monthly Board meeting on Saturdays at which time the library would be available.  It was voted down due to other members work schedules.  Barbara will look into a couple of places. 

Carol Couch, our Business Manager, presented her thoughts and requests on fiscal responsibility to the Board (A copy of which has been provided to each Board member).  There was some discussion with no decisions.  Will be addressed at the next meeting.

Disseminating information- Carol Couch brought up the subject for disseminating information.  If a home in Greenleaf is being sold the realtor needs disseminating information for the sale.  Carol Couch informed the board that most HOAs charge for this service but GL does not.  Carol Couch suggested to the board that a charge of $150 should be implemented for disseminating papers as a way to off set the fiscal deficit GLHOA is facing.   The discussion led to a lower cost for GLHOA members of $50 for the papers.  Carol Couch provided a copy of the request form to the board.  Carol Couch also asked for a long distance phone stipend for faxing and returning calls to realtors.  Suggestions of an online request form for realtors to fax and e-mail and stating on voice mail that long distance calls would not be returned where alternate suggestions.  The board decided to place a request form on the GL website but a vote for adding an additional stipend for long distance was tabled until the next meeting.  

New Business:  We are still looking for a meeting space for our GLHOA Board meetings.  Jason Kirkpatrick has offered use of his home for the next meeting.
