Hartridge Homeowners Association (HOA) Meeting Report

Minutes from the meeting that was held on April 13th, 2021

2 homeowners and 3 board members were present. 

The general meeting of the Hartridge Homeowners Association (HOA) was held at the Village of Hartland Community Center on April 13th, 2021.   Members of the board were present as follows:

President:  Ken Gebhard

Vice President/Secretary: Bob Phelps

Treasurer:  Sandy Gebhard

The annual election of the board was discussed.  Bob Phelps was up for re-election this year.  A motion was made to re-elect Bob to another three year term.  The motion carried unanimously.

Next up was a motion to increase annual HOA dues, by an HOA resident.  He thought, considering that many neighboring subdivisions  have dues double or triple ours, an increase of the dues would be smart.  The following costs have been rising yearly: general maintenance,  tree removal and clean up along with the entrance area upkeep and signage.  It was decided to revisit the cost increase next year after all  of the yearly projects have been completed.

We have hired a new snow removal company.  They have taken care of the paths this past winter.  Like all new companies they may have missed a few things.  We did our best to stay on top of this.  Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

We will be looking into new lights  this year for the sign at the front entrance.  We last replaced these lights over ten years ago.  We will be staying with some kind of solar powered lighting system again.  This is because the cost to have WE Energies install power to the sign would be very expensive and the Village of Hartland does not want us to put a power line under the street.  They are afraid that it could cause a bump in the road.

One of the residents also brought up the idea of putting signs around the trails and paths to remind pet owners to please pick up after your dog.  The signs would read something like – “Please remember if you’re walking your dog to be considerate and pick up the mess.”  This spring we will be putting some signs on the paths in the area to help remind everyone of this.

The same resident also brought up an issue with a tree on the property line that might need to be removed.  We will  be looking into trimming this tree instead of having it fully removed.

The meeting was adjourned at approximately  8:05 pm.

Respectfully,

Bob Phelps

Vice President/Secretary
