And the Winner is…


During the Eaglewood Neighborhood Meeting held February 15th at Oakleaf Village Retirement Community, homeowners voted the sign above as the winning design! The meeting was called to order at 7:35pm. The Eaglewood Homeowners Association President, Emily Ordorica thanked everyone attending for coming to participate in selecting the sign to be constructed to replace the existing neighborhood sign. Emily reviewed the events regarding discussion and planning for the sign replacement project since the previous neighborhood wide meeting held in September 2006.

Emily introduced her brother, whom will be the landscaper that will be re-landscaping the island around the sign. The landscaping design was presented to the attendees – with details of the types of plants to be planted. The cost of landscaping being presented was stated to be the cost for the plants to be planted, with the landscaper providing his services at no cost to the association as a gratuity. The need for volunteer help to prepare and install the new landscaping was conveyed, along with a volunteer signup sheet being passed among the attendees.

Emily introduced Bob Bertke from the Sign Replacement Project Committee to outline the process the committee underwent in researching and selecting the sign designs that were to be presented. Bob explained that the committee had met several times during the months of November, December and January. Bob outlined the committee discussing various types of sign construction, including custom built masonry and wood options. The custom designs were eliminated by the committee for reasons such as cost and future maintenance and upkeep. The signs being presented were chosen for their attractiveness, the expected low maintenance and upkeep, along with expected long life of the type of sign (pre-cast foam – sealed in acrylic). Scott Brady, a representative from the Harmon Sign Company that provided the sign designs being presented was in attendance, and answered several question throughout the meeting.

Emily outlined the current status of the Eaglewood HOA financial situation, providing attendees with the current account balance, along with projecting expenses for the association through September of this year (when next years dues will be collected). The cost for each of the two design options were presented with a detailed breakdown of the expected cost allocation per homeowner. The attendees were informed that the cost per homeowner of Design #1 would be $66, and the cost per homeowner of Design # 2 would be $79. Emily explained that whichever sign is voted as the winner, the cost per homeowner will be assessed as a one time allocation in addition to the normal annual dues. This one time allocation will be due by April 1, 2007.

A call for a motion to proceed with a vote for the sign was put forth. Terry Awls put the motion forward, which was seconded by John Sundheimer. Prior to the vote, Emily Ordorica advised that she received approximately eight call in votes for homeowners that could not be in attendance. The vote was then put forward by show of hands. The results of those in attendance were a unanimous vote for Design #2. Emily stated that the secretary will prepare a newsletter announcing the winning design to be sent out as soon as possible. The newsletter will include a “cut-off” invoice to fill out and submit with payment of the $79 cost per homeowner.
