Financial Report:  The financial report and 2017 budget were approved.   Kelly Mitchell explained that our CD was converted from a one year to a two year CD because of the better interest rate, and if we needed the funds, the penalty would less than the lost interest.

Committee Reports:

  1. Architectural Review Committee:

Committee to check with golf course on dead tree on hole 7 and dead trees by back gate.

Shortcut off Ridgemark Drive used by some golfers by hole 8 needs to be addressed.   We are considering more bushes or boulders to block the path used by the carts.

Lot 643:  Trailer has been in driveway over 48 hours.

Lot 631:  Semi-truck has been parked on street for over 48 hours.

Lot 609:  Request for approval of solar panels.

  1. Ridgemark Estates Guards and Roads Council:

New security cameras are being considered for the security gates.

Two months ago, a truck drove across several lawns on South Ridgemark Drive.   In October, a truck did the same on Ridgemark Drive.  It was reported by one of our homeowners that it happened again on South Ridgemark Drive.  Both times the security guards were informed and recorded the incidents but the culprits have not been identified.

Old Business:

Speeding Awareness Campaign:

The original speeding awareness signs were stolen.  The signs were  vandalized and some were left in front of a homeowner’s property and also on the radar speed trailer on loan from the county.  The sheriff’s department is involved and is investigating the case.   There is a video showing the thief stealing one of the signs from the front of one home.  It has been traced back to a tenant of a homeowner.  The board will be requesting a meeting with the homeowner and tenant.   Signs have been replaced by board members.

If speeding awareness campaign does not work, the board will consider speed humps at our meeting in February.   There will be vote of all homeowners before any speed humps are installed.

Block Party:

Approximately 50 homeowners attended the party.   The weather was hot but the company was great.  The board is discussing another block party for the fall of 2017.

New Business:

Board of Directors Openings:

There will be two openings on the board next year.  If you are interested in becoming a candidate, please go to the RMXIHOA website, (https://ridgemarkhoaxi.com/) and download and complete a statement of candidacy.   The form will also be attached to this email.
