ATTENTION COUNTRY LANE ASSOCIATION HOMEOWNERS
The Annual Meeting for Country Lane HOA will be held on Tuesday,
September 15, 2015 at 6:00 pm at the Vassar Elementary School. This is the official notice of the meeting
as required by the declaration and by-laws of the Association.
The membership will elect three board members at the
meeting. Keith Taphorn & Pat Shipley, terms have expired. Both Keith & Pat will seek
re-election. We also have an Un-expired
One-year term position available as Bruce Manual has decided to step down after
spending two-years on the Board and initiating the Neighborhood-Watch and
hosting the National Night Out against Crime.
The remaining members and their terms of expiration:
Jim Donahue – 2016
Joseph Morrissey – 2017Kelly Genel - 2017
Two positions are a (3) year term. Any homeowner can be
elected to the board and nominations will be taken from the floor. If
interested, please fill out the enclosed questionnaire form, so if you can not
make the meeting and still want to be considered we can present you to the rest
of the membership.
At the annual meeting, the Board will formally
present the membership with the annual budget– which is enclosed for your
review - for fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016. The new budget calls for a ten-dollar ($10)
increase in dues, which is an increase from $65.00 to $75.00 every month.
The primary reasons for the dues increase will
go towards Pool House Rust
Abatement Solutions, and increased expenses towards Trash
Services, Landscape Services and Wall Maintenance. The Board anticipates increased monies towards landscape
contracts, landscape improvements, and also snow removal.
Since state law requires that the Association, as a
non-profit corporation, must meet at least once per year, your participation is
not only welcomed, it is important. At least 28 owners must be present in
person or by proxy in order to elect new board members and fulfill our legal
annual meeting requirement.
If you cannot attend the meeting, please fill out the enclosed
proxy postcard so that we can meet our quorum requirements. You may email your signed Proxy to shane@cchoapros.com, you can mail your
proxy to the office address listed above or fax it to (303) 693-8803.
Please make sure you are signed up on the Association’s
website to get updates on community announcements.
Thank you in advance!
