BOARD OF DIRECTORS:
The Board of Directors meets monthly, on the first Tuesday of each month, at the AMI Office conference room, 900 Rockmead Suite 144. Meetings begin at 7:00 PM, and the meetings usually run until around 9:00 PM. There is no meeting in December. The first item on the agenda each month is public comments, and we welcome yours.

The Board consists of nine (9) members elected to three-year terms. Three directors are elected each year at the annual meeting in October. Current Board members are: Rick Marshall (President / Parks and Pool Committee); Toni Dupuis-Avata (Director); Sander Mak (Director / Trails Association Board Member); Michael Higgins (Director); Betty Millard (Director / Trails Association Board Member); Marcia Powell (Vice President/ Trails Association Board Member); Scott Wiggins (Director), JC Clifton (Director / Deed Restrictions Committee / Architectural Control Committee) and Terry Johnson (Treasurer).

While the Board has the primary fiduciary responsibility for all Community Association matters, we contract with three separate management companies for the day-to-day operations. One company - Association Management, Inc. - is the main point of contact for all matters pertaining to Deed Restrictions, Assessments, Architectural Control, etc. The village manager is currently Thomasene Smith. The second company - Jeff Ellis and Associates - manages the swimming pool and they hire another company to assist them in maintaining our pool. The third is Marshall Service who maintains our park and entrances. We also work very closely with our Gwendolyn Condoleo the Mayor's Assistance Office Representative.

COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES:
The main activity conducted by the Board for the community is the operation of the swimming pool and park, which is located at 2159 Fir Springs. The pool is open every day during the summer, from 10:00 AM until 9:00 PM (open until 10:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays). Last summer we had to update our pool with a new pump system, and during this process we added the new salt system. Our pool is 30 years old so it was time to update it to stay in compliance with the regulations. The salt system will also be better for the swimmers, keep the pool cleaner and cost less. The pool is open to all members of the Association in good standings and their guests.

Our playground equipment is some of the newest, biggest and best in Kingwood. It has certainly been a hit with the kids. And while our playground is as safe as any other, we do urge parents to monitor their children during play. We also have a full size basketball court at the park which also has been a big hit not only with the kids but adults alike. We also have a soda machine available to you everyday near the pool entrance. This machine is maintained by Wahoo’s Swim Team.

The Board hosts a get-together every year. This is a get-together which is a family oriented event, and is scheduled for the pool opening, the Saturday before Memorial Day from 2:00 until 6:00 PM, at the community pool on Fir Springs. We are also in the early stages of developing plans for a community pavilion to be located immediately west of the swimming pool, as well as a new parking area. We would love to have your input on these plans. We have completed a new patio area, new fence and vending machine area and also new bike parking. You will also notice some new picnic tables built for your use inside the pool fence. We are in the early stages of developing a monthly yard of the month program, anybody interested please let us know.

DEED RESTRICTIONS:
Of course, it wouldn't be a letter from the Association President if I didn't mention something about Restrictive Covenants or Deed restrictions!

The Community has certainly improved a lot in the last couple of years, and I commend you for that. While the Board does provide direction to, and contracts with, the management company to enforce these restrictions, final resolution of the violations comes directly from you and nowhere else. Thank you for your efforts and your cooperation for observing the deed restrictions.

I guess the biggest infraction we still find nowadays is garage sales, trash cans viewable from the street, and lawn/roof maintenance. Our Restrictive Covenants expressly forbid any commercial activity within the Community; and the courts have interpreted sales of this type as commercial activity. The board has voting to host two garage sales each year, one in the spring and the other in the fall. We would appreciate your help in keeping these violations down.

We have met with our village attorney about how to bring our Restrictive Covenants/Deed Restrictions up to date. Over the next year the board will be working to bring these up to current standards. Any time these are update they will require a vote of the homeowners in good standing. We are considering looking at what is the most critical part to fix first, bring that to you and then have the remainder ready for the next annual meeting.

In closing, let me again say that the Board invites your input into the operation of your Association. We welcome your attendance at the Board meetings and the annual meeting. Please remember there are a lot of kids on the streets when school is in session.

Richard Marshall, President
North Woodland Hills Village C.A.
