Weekend Tree Vandals

This is an old established tree on East Townhouse Lane. Several people witnessed this, and one identified where one boy lived. One witness spoke with them, asking them to not chop on the tree and was assured they were not chopping on the tree. That proved to be a lie, as the photos below would indicate. One person saw them with a hatchet and a large knife.

We are in contact with the landlord’s representative where one boy lives. My understanding is it was 3 boys that did this, about 10-12 years old.

2020 Election Results

On the 2020 Ballots were 4 positions open and 4 people running for those positions.  One of those individuals, Ms, Jamese Broadnax, withdrew her interest in being on the Board a few weeks after the ballots were sent out which was due to personal reasons.  She is expecting and her life was going to get very hectic, we can understand that.

The other 3 people on the ballot, Robbie Jamison, David Barksdale, and myself were re-elected and Ivan Martinez was elected to the 4th position as write-in candidate. Board Officers were elected after the Membership meeting and they remain the same.

Let’s all welcome Ivan Martinez to the Board!

2020 Annual Membership Meeting

The 2020 Annual Membership Meeting will be held this Friday, July 24, 2020, at 7 PM via ZOOM virtual meeting due to COVID-19.

    • Agenda for Annual Meeting
      • Election of 4 Board Members
      • Following the Annual Meeting, we will have an Organizational Meeting to elect Officers.

We sent out postcards to homeowners with information regarding Absentee Ballots and Proxy votes. These signed Ballots or Proxies must be received prior to the start of the Meeting. If you need either an Absentee Ballot or Proxy, please contact the Office (office@gpmcha.org) and we will email them to you. Only one of these forms are necessary to vote.

For those who would like to attend the meeting via ZOOM, contact the Office and we can send you the link to join the meeting.

Pick up after your dogs

Directly behind the shop on the East side is a large common area between East MC Drive and East Townhouse Lane. In that same area is a Pet Sanitation Station with poop bags. However, residents unknown are allowing their dogs to defecate within 4-5 feet from this pet station, with bags available, and just walk away and leave it.  These are rather large dogs, too.

I have no idea why someone would think this was acceptable.  Picking up after your dogs on common property is not only responsible and reasonable, but is required by HOA rules and City Ordinances. We are fining dog owners who do not pick up after their dogs as a violation of Health and Safety, as well as getting GP Animal Services involved. These fines will escalate as long as the violation continues.

Entirely too many dog owners are fouling our common areas, and enough is enough.

 

 

Board Meeting Postponed

The next regularly scheduled Board meeting was set for June 4, 2020, but is postponed until a later date to be announced.  Due to close proximity in the Office and at the meeting table, we cannot maintain appropriate distancing at this time.

We are exploring other options, such as a virtual meeting,  so we can continue to have Board meetings and keep both our members and the Board safe and healthy in the process.

Once we decide on the media, we will notify members where they can attend the meeting. It would be much easier of we had email addresses for all members. but we do not.
