BOARD MEETING

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 05, 2002

 

The meeting was called to order at 7:35 by president, Arnold Martin

 

Board members present were Esther Nachimson, John Taylor, Don McGee, Don Jensen, Charles Schmidt, Martin Kahn, Mollie Kahn, Nell Anne Hunt.  Scott Wilson from TLCA and Mary Oberlin were also present.  Not present were:  Frank Murphy, James Spriggs, and Jim Wilson.

 

Minutes of the last meeting were postponed until the next meeting on March 5, 2002.

 

The Treasurer, Don Jensen, passed out the financial report to date.  Total Assets of UHAOH are $4,972.59.  The assets are low and have been impacted because collecting dues from our homeowners is down.  A report has been filed.

 

116 members who paid dues in 2001 have not paid their dues for this year.  104 members have paid their dues.  The list of homeowners is hard to keep up to date because of communication between us and TLCA.  A letter will go out on February 8, with the new brochure about the association.

 

John Taylor stated that the newsletter will not be mailed before the end of February.  Articles of interest to our homeowners are badly needed to fill up the space. 

 

Scott Wilson from TLCA reported that some projects have been put on hold because of the economy.  There are still sections of sidewalks in need of replacement and walks to connect the two parks.  Walk lights are needed at Rochelle and Northgate.  They have started to paint the hydrants and TXU boxes in UH.  TLCA will start installing a centralized irrigation system that will help in the conservation of water.

 

UHOAH is submitting a grant application for $4,000.00 to the City of Irving. This is due on February 15, for a neighborhood project to support beautification by planting shrubs and perennials.  TLCA has agreed to supply planning expertise.  TLCA will also submit a separate request for Rochelle Park and Old Rochelle Park to be planted with wildflowers and a perennial bed at Pea Patch Lake. 

 

Our “Spring Fling” is just around the corner.  Molly Kahn has agreed to chair this committee.  A date has been set for Saturday, May 4^th and it will tentatively be a Cinco de Mayo theme.  Volunteers are needed for this affair.

 

Martin Kahn made a motion to apply for a grant of $2,000.00 for Holiday Season Decoration and Lighting at Pea Patch Lake and decorations on street light poles.  Molly Kahn, seconded the motion.  The motion passed.  Next year we will work on an effort to encourage homeowners to put up more lights and decorations for our neighborhood.  Charles Schmidt and Esther Nachimson were asked to work with TLCA for this project. 

 

TLCA is asking homeowners with crossties in their landscaping to replace them with permanent material such as concrete blocks or bricks.  The crossties are rotting, falling down and are, also, a great source of termites. 

 

The next meeting will be March 5, 2002 at the Las Colinas Country Club at 7:30 A. M.

 

Respectively submitted,

 

 

Esther Nachimson, Secretary
