HOA Meeting January 28, 2011

Hello fellow home owners!
For those of you who missed it, we had a great HOA meeting last night.  A very spirited assortment of home owners discussed the issues at hand.  Below you'll find the highlights:
  • We have a new ProCOMM association manager: Marisa Zavala
    E-mail: mzavala@procomm-mgmt.com
    Office: 210-545-1888
    Fax: 210-545-1940
  • A quorum was not achieved for the meeting (currently 20% of the home owners), and the dangers of this were discussed. (more about this later)
  • The lighting at the gate was reviewed as inadequate and alternatives were discussed.
  • Discomfort was expressed regarding the behavior of the Oxford home residents in the neighborhood.  Alternate approaches for correcting the situation were discussed.
  • The need for better communication was brought up.  This blog is an effort to address this, and we're going to give this a try for a year.  If this doesn't help we'll then consider a website hosted by ProCOMM.
The inability to achieve a quorum is a problem that we need to deal with.  If we don't achieve quorum during our official business (we have yet to have a meeting that achieves quorum that we can remember), our legitimacy as an organization can be called into question.  This can affect our ability to own property as an organization and collect dues.  To address this, it was agreed that we should change the quorum threshold to 10%.  The members in attendance also pledged to collect proxies to help legitimize our meeting last night.

If you have any questions just post comments on this entry and we'll answer back.
Thanks,
Your Braun Hollow HOA Board of Directors
