Several NOHOA board members and homeowners gathered to visit, review the HOA document modernization proposals, and discuss overall neighborhood ideas.  Highlights of this discussion include:

• The proposed updates to the documents seem to be appropriate and received overall approval from those present.  Specific comments included:

  • Sex offender ban  - this is an important provision. a question as to how this would be enforceable was brought up.  Board members can contact our attorneys to gather further information.

  • Short-term rentals - as this doesn't seem to be an issue right now, some wondered if we needed to include this provision at this time

  • Electronic communications and voting - this should be explored for future votes and to enable easier owner participation in the HOA 

  • Indemnification of Board Members  -  this provision is primarily to align our document language with statute and be more clear.

• Abbott Downing median - can we ​approach the Bob Webb neighborhood to seek their contribution to the upkeep of the trees/lawn in the median.  Board will follow-up

• Future neighborhood activities - strong consensus to establish some type of annual neighborhood "fun" activity, such as Kids Parade and block party, Party in the Park (aka SUNY95 party a few years ago)

• Overland Trail speeding - the new signs seem to be working overall (a few exceptions not withstanding)

• Annual Meeting - a reminder to attend the annual meeting and/or send in proxy forms to vote for a next board member.
