June Board Meeting Recap

Thank you to all who logged in to the Virtual HOA Board Meeting Tuesday evening. HOA business has continued through this period of COVID even though we have not had General Meetings. We understand that some were frustrated at the lack of interaction on the Zoom call. We are looking into options for the next meeting to incorporate Homeowner discussion into the next meeting while still maintaining order in the virtual setting with a large group.

Financials through April 2020 are now posted on the website.

Here is a brief summary of current HOA initiatives:

Roof and Skylight Replacement – The roof and skylight project is nearly complete. Classic is working directly with several homeowners to finish up a few items. If you have an outstanding issue and have not heard from Classic regarding the resolution of that issue, please contact Classic at CopperfieldTownhomes@classicconstruction.com

Current Roofing  – This is the company which invoiced the HOA for work they claim was done in 2019.. The HOA has been negotiating with Current Roofing through our attorney to accept a settlement only for verifiable work done.

Tree Trimming – With the roofing project done, it’s time to trim all trees that are brushing the roofs. Tree trimming notices are being sent by Goodwin.  If a tree is in your backyard it is your responsibility to have it trimmed so it does not touch your roof or your neighbor’s roof.  Any roof damage caused by a tree on your property becomes your responsibility for repair. Be on the lookout for notices with when homeowners need to have this completed.

Driveway Repairs – Critical driveway repairs are being addressed  and we are waiting for a quote for this work.

Retaining wall repairs – The retaining wall on Barnaby and Brittania Way is failing.  It has been patched over the years and is holding up the back yard of some of those houses.  Getting a quote to have this repaired.

Sprinklers, Irrigation  and Landscape – Louis with Goodwin had a meeting with Exterior Expressions to address the lack of sprinkler repair issues and watering schedule.  Kip met with Jim Anderson to discuss clean up from the renovation/roof project.  The Landscape committee will coordinate with Kip to make a multi-year plan to phase in landscape.updates.

VIP (Volunteers In Patrol ) – Thanks to  hard work by Darlene we now have 23 members of VIP with a couple new members joining.  Virtual training is now available.

Street Signs – Darlene has contacted the City of Dallas and arranged for some new street signs and red strips on Stop signs along with some additional VIP/Crime Watch/Neighborhood Patrol signs to be placed throughout our neighborhood.  Again, Darlene – Thank You !!

Pool and COVID – Reminder to please distance at the pool and clean up after yourself.  The area where the trash cans are located has been cleaned up.  There is one can for trash and one can for recyclables.

Volunteer needed – We are seeking a volunteer to be a temporary pool helper while we look for a porter. This person would empty the trash cans at the pool and outside the pool gate each week. If you can volunteer for this, please Contact the Board Thank you in advance!
