FUNDS ALLOCATED FOR GREEN CREW
Landscape Manager George Hilder asked for the release of funds, approved in October by the Board, to add three additional landscapers to Green Crew at a cost of $13,600 per month. The additional manpower will address property-wide overgrowth, improve tree care, and help regular maintenance get back on a three-month schedule. The Board approved this, 5 to 3, with one abstention. The allocation will be revisited during the 2027 budget discussion.

SPEED WARNING IN GARAGE COURT DRIVES
The VG Court Council, in an effort to curtail speeding drivers and delivery trucks, proposed a “Slow Down” message to be stenciled on Garage Court driveways. As the proposal did not lay out costs, the Board chose not to move forward with the recommendation for now.

ANNUAL MEET THE CANDIDATES EVENT FORMALIZED
At the urging of Court Council, the Board passed a resolution to schedule one in-person and one virtual Meet the Candidates event prior to each Board election.

SIDEWALK REMOVAL BENEATH OAK
George Hilder requested permission to remove the buckling sidewalk under Oak Tree #1166 in the East Circle garage court. Maintenance will do the work at no extra expense to the Association. It was approved.

Thirty-two people attended the Board Meeting held November 14, 2023, including seven Board directors and Management representatives, which was very brief owing to the Thanksgiving Holiday. 
​
There was little in the way of official business; the Board discussed letters and correspondence brought by residents about everything from cats and coyotes to clubhouse rentals, but actionable items were minimal.

Compiled by Patrick Comiskey

Thirty people attended the Board Meeting including six Board directors and Management representatives. Three Board members, Ashley Fondrevay, Haleh Shoah, and Steve Haggerty, were absent.
