CAT MOUNTAIN VIEW
FEBRUARY 2016
VOLUME 4, NUMBER 2
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY
February is a big month for us! It is election time and we have an opportunity to bring new talent to the Board as well as the committees. As the annual term comes to a close, I would like to say thank you to all the residents who have given of their time and energy to make Cat Mountain Villas a better place in the past year! The Villas has become a much more social community in the past couple of years, much of that credit goes to our social committee and the wine club. The Annual Meeting of the Members is scheduled for February 17th, 2016 at 7:00 PM. I hope you will consider coming out to join us; we will have the honor of hosting City of Austin District 10 Council member Ms. Sheri Gallo. Sheri will fill us in on what is happening downtown at City Hall. You should have received the agenda, candidate bios and ballot / proxy forms in the mail by Mid-January. We will be electing 3 seats on the Board of Directors. I think we have a great group of candidates that will work very hard over the next two years to oversee the operations of the neighborhood. I am sad to say we will be losing Mr. Davison Grant this year after what has been probably the longest held positions on the board at approximately 19 years. Davison has also retired this year from his legal career. I would like to sincerely thank him and wish him all the best in the future. His donation of time, experience and guidance to this Board has been invaluable. After serving as Board President the past 4 years, I can say that I am very proud of the job done by the current Board. We Copyright © 2016 Peel, Inc.
have worked well together, have managed our neighborhood and its assets with a conservative, long term approach and have undertaken numerous litigious situations and resolved them without undue expense to the Association. We are looking for help with our committees, specifically someone to oversee the social committee and communications committee. I know there are numerous residents who would be a fantastic fit for these positions. We are also looking for a newsletter editor to help oversee the publishing of the Cat Mountain View. You would interface with the Communications Committee and publish a simple 4-8 page newsletter every month. Our publisher Peel Inc. actually does the publication work; we just have to organize the content for them. Typically it consists of the social (wine, book, yoga, tennis) information and presidents message along with information from the manager. If you have any interest in helping out please contact myself or Jesse. Don’t forget you can stay updated on happenings in the neighborhood via our “Cat Mountain Community” FaceBook Page or by joining our neighborhood on NEXTDOOR. com. There is good local information as well as police related information available to you on the site. Looking forward to a great year! Best Regards, Bryan Harter Cat Mountain HOA | President
