 Priority Business:

  • HOAMS Contract was provided via e-mail. Danielle asked question regarding e-mail responses.  No further discussion. Kip motions to accept the HOAMS contract, Connie seconds; Motion carries 7-0.
  • Landscape planting plan presented by Brian. Brian took the landscape architect plan as well as bids from Bradys’, Hilltop, Treetop, Dusches Greenhouse, Taylor Lawncare, Hoangs, and Countryside to put this final plan together.  Brady’s bid came in lowest for trees.  Zogleman came in with the best overall plant/shrubs bid.  HOAMS noted the pricing for trees and plantings are all at great deals.  Tyler motions to use Brady for trees/install and Zogleman for plants/shrubs/install and Horsch for boulder install, Ryan seconds; motion carries 7-0.

  • Pool Vendor bids were sought to maintain and clean the pool. Bids came in from Personal Touch Pools, Platinum Pools, Aquasizers, and Shocker Pools.  Brian asked what HOAMS knows about Shocker Pools.  Jennifer noted she hasn’t managed any HOA’s that have used them.  Shocker pools came in as the lowest bid.  Aquasizers has been at Southern Ridge before but we didn’t feel they had the best service.  Connie asked if there was a winter check option with Personal Touch.  It was noted it isn’t in the bid but we could request more a bid for that.  Brian noted there was feedback with cleanliness of the pool under Personal Touch.  HOAMS noted that it was more likely an issue of being a new pool.  Ryan motions to use Shocker pools for full-service cleaning and testing, Danielle seconds; motion carries 7-0.  It was noted the pool opens Thursday, May 16th (same day as school is out).  Closing date is set as September 9, 2019.
  • Pool Rules are discussed. Brian noted that allowing alcohol had brought up before.  HOAMS noted the biggest reason we haven’t allowed drinking at the pool is because of insurance liability.  Tyler stated that we have a basic responsibility to be an adult and drink responsibly.  Tyler asked what the process was if someone was caught breaking the rules.  Jennifer noted that there is a pool resolution which addresses the consequences for breaking rules.  Danielle pointed out again that this rule was for liability and to help eliminate obtrusive behavior.  It was agreed by a majority of Board members that alcohol shall remain on the prohibited list.  The rule about how many guests are allowed at the pool was discussed.  There is currently only one guest allowed per household.  Tyler motions to allow for a maximum of 4 guests per household, Brian seconds; motion carries 7-0.  Connie noted a concern for food in the pool.  It was proposed that food should not be allowed within the gates of the pool.  Danielle motions that food, smoking (to include tobacco and vaping products), and obscene language or gestures should be added to the prohibited list in the pool rules, Tyler seconds; motion carries 7-0.  HOAMS will get the pool rules signs printed: four signs at 18”x12” and one at 36”x24”.  Rules for the Sport Court sign to include: 1. No: Climbing , hanging, pulling or sitting on nets, pets, glass items, alcohol, smoking, food, obscene language 2. Sport Court is for Southern Ridge Residents and their guest (max 4 guests per household).  Residents who cause damage will be held responsible.  Jennifer will order four 12’x18” signs for the sport court.  Additionally Jennifer will order 4 each (3”x12”) Sport court hours signs: 9am-8pm (fall, winter, spring) and 8am-9pm (Summer hours).
