Proper Spring Maintenance
The Board kindly reminds everyone in Woodland Ridge to keep up the appearance of their home. This includes removing trash bins on non-collecting days, pressure washing siding, keeping grass at appropriate lengths, and removing weeds from lawns. The Board has reported a number of violations this year and needs your help to keep our property values up for everyone in the neighborhood. If you see any violations contact a member of the Board and we will issue a formal letter. Thank you!
Potentially Hazardous Tree Limbs
A tree located on Woodland Ridge HOA land is leaning over the property line and growing dangerously close to a non-neighborhood house. The owner of the house has asked us to take down the limb because she is afraid that it may cause damage or injure the occupants. The Board is currently in discussions with the Property Managers and the HOA lawyers about possible resolutions and the liability of the HOA. The Board is also working on getting a quote to cut down the large branches. We will update the blog with the final resolution.

Time: 8:25pm
Meeting called to order at 8:25 pm.
Keith opened the meeting with the following in discussion:
1.) The urinal in the clubhouse must be fixed
2.) We discussed economic times and the possibility of people not paying their dues on time: it was voted and passed 5 to 0 that a cut off time will be May 1st for a flexible payment plan when residents approach the board with hardship cases and it will be decided on a case by case scenario. Interest that has been added will not be waived. The board will also consider for a new payment plan for next year.

Neighborhood Watch Established
The HOA held a Neighborhood Watch training class on February 3, 2009 to establish the program in our neighborhood. The Cobb County Police officer provided us with many tips on how to protect your home and how to look out for your fellow neighbors. The biggest tip is to report anything suspicious! Whether is a car that doesn't belong in the neighborhood, children loitering around during school hours, or solicitors who are a bit too nosey--call 911! By establishing a police presence we will prevent future break-ins and other incidents from occurring.
We will use this blog to notify our neighbors about incidents happening in our community. When an alert goes this blog and the HOA distribution list will be updated with the pertinent information. Please contact Curt or anyone on the board for more information.
