BUSINESS:
Election of Officers: Lance Wells was elected Vice President and Lauren

FY 05 Budget: There were three budget proposal options submitted to
the membership. Option A) Included basic day-to-day expenses, Option B)
Included adding a street light with wooden pole and a cobra head light
at the second entrance, Option C) Included underground wiring with a metal
pole at the 2 nd entrance.
It was motioned by Bob Leiter and seconded by Herbert
Barden that Option B be accepted and that the budget include a homeowners’ block
party. The motion passed and annual dues are thus set at $89.00 per household.
There was discussion about adding more lighting such as a flood light
at the first entrance so that people could find our subdivision easier.
The Board will look into this.
Recommended Committees:
There was discussion about the block party for the Homeowners.
An Events Planning Committee will be formed and details will be developed
and distributed. Overall the owner’s felt that this is a good idea
and an opportunity for everyone to get to know each other.
The Owner’s voted to form two other committees
in addition to the Events Planning Committee. These are the Neighbor Assistance
Committee and The Old Lexington Trace Walking Club.
The Neighbor Assistance Committee will help residents who are experiencing
difficult times with yard work and errands. The Walking Club will be the
healthy group that wants to stay in shape, encourage others to stay in
shape, and support each other by walking together.
UPDATES:
Lili Hill presented the new OLT Homeowner’s Directory. The group
thanked Lili and her husband Mike for their work on this project. The
Directory will be copied and distributed to homeowners. It was mentioned
that this Directory is for homeowner’s use only and not to be distributed
beyond the neighborhood.
DUES ARE DUE, now that the budget is set, the annual
homeowners’ dues
are $89 per household. All homeowners are expected to pay dues annually.
These dues are used to pay for the lighting, maintenance of common areas
and entrances, functions of the Homeowner’s Association and enforcing
the covenants and bylaws of the neighborhood. The purpose of the Homeowner’s
Association is to protect the property value and investment that each
of us has in our home. CHECKS SHOULD BE MADE PAYABLE TO THE OLD LEXINGTON
TRACE HOMEOWNER’S ASSOCIATION (OLT/HOA). Please mail or deliver
your check to Lauren Fleming at 180 Lexington Circle.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS:
Venessa distributed 3x5 cards and pointed out that there was a suggestion
basket in the back of the room for people to place their cards with their
ideas.
PRESENTATION:
Katie Jones from the Neighborhood Watch Program made a presentation
on the merits of the NWP. Brochures are included with the minutes. This
is a good thing for our neighborhood and we have met all of the qualifications.
A sign will be posted at each of the entrances and Lili Hill has agreed
to be our NWP Captain. Thank you Lili.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 P.M.
