Report on Perimeter Fence Completion and status of Communications with Grand Parkway Apartments on Cost Sharing - CO Holt reported that he has received a communication from the Grand Parkway Apartments’ regional manager, Shawn Sterman. CO reported that Mr. Sterman inquired as to the ownership of the fence between our two properties. The fence is owned by the Association; however the Grand Parkway Apartments, under the direction of Shawn Sterman, did set a precedent in 2017 when it contributed $3,000 towards the replacement project. As both the Association and the Grand Parkway Apartments enjoy the benefit of this fence the Board continues to pursue having it pay 50% of the cost of the balance of the fence replacement which was completed this year.
Community Events - Chris Cox stated that the Splash Day and Veterans Parade were a success. The next community event will be National Night Out to be held on Tuesday, October 1st. More details will be available later.
