LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Hello fellow residents. As fall season approaches, so do the end of year activities in the neighborhood. Hopefully you were able to attend the October Board meeting and met the candidates that are running for the three open board positions. If you did not get a chance to attend the meeting, please see the candidate bios later in this newsletter. The Annual Meeting notice and Proxy/Absentee ballots should be in the mail to each resident on or about 10/24/16. This is an important process for the neighborhood and the three folks that get elected will join the other existing four board members that will have the responsibility of allocating your assessment money towards running the community and for any capital improvements. Board members also spend a considerable amount of time on administrative functions such as working to ensure deed restrictions are followed and taking related action as necessary; developing and maintaining the TPOA budget; planning and staffing the various neighborhood social events; and much more. It is very important to the community that you do your part and cast your vote, either by proxy vote, absentee ballot, or casting your vote at the Annual Meeting. We must have at least 270 votes to make quorum. If you choose to vote by absentee ballot, please read the ballot carefully and send your ballot via email to contact@spectrumam.com before 5:00 p.m. December 2, 2016. The Halloween event is one of the largest events of the year. If you’ve never been to a Halloween event, I highly recommend it, even if you don’t have children of the Trick or Treating age. This event is one of the best examples of what makes Timberwood Park a great place to live. As I mentioned in last month’s letter, we will be doing things a bit differently this year with regards to access to the park. We will have security folks at the gates to ensure safety. Only residents will be permitted to park inside the park and admission will be granted to folks with gate cards and wristbands. There is limited parking
inside the gates so even if you don’t get to park inside the gates, make sure to bring your gate card or have wristbands for your guests to gain entry. The rear gate to the park from Harmony Hills will be for pedestrian use only. The event is for Timberwood Park residents AND their guests. Please see the article later in this newsletter for more information. The possible clubhouse project continues to be a hot topic. At the well-attended August Board meeting, residents proposed that we have a community vote on the project due to the size and scope of this project. The Board agreed and a paper ballot vote for the clubhouse project will be sent in the mail to all residents along with the Board Election ballot around October 24th. This vote will be completely separate from the election ballots and will not be tied to the board election votes. Please read both ballots carefully and follow the directions on how to cast your vote. There will only be one vote per household. There will be no proxy votes for the clubhouse project. Spectrum will tally the votes for the clubhouse before the end of November and the Board will share the results of the clubhouse votes with the community. Should the project move forward, there will be many additional meetings Continued inside
