September 1 Board Meeting
Sorry I was not available to report on the June 30 boardmeeting. The Board provided a detailed report to members on the specialelection concerning number of directors but, as usual, did not provide any informationabout their regular board meeting. In order to know what was discussed, we willhave to wait until they post the minutes around 3 months after the meeting.
Here are my notes from the board meeting that was just heldon Wednesday, Sep 1, 2021. I am reporting what was discussed; if the words arenot clear it is because not enough information was provided.
On-line meeting was attended by board members, Judy Parkerfrom Wildwood and 6 HOA members.
Homeowners forum: Paul Braden asked whether there had beenany discussion with TXDOT about making it safer to exit the highway and enterthe subdivision. Tom Agnotti said they had worked with TXDOT on the location ofthe exit and would bring the issue up with them.
A question was asked on the status of the park equipment.The details are covered in Old Business below but the gist is that we stillhave no idea when replacement parts will be ordered, who will cover the costs,and when the work will be completed.
Bruce Anderson asked what the procedure was for requestingcandidates for election to the board and the annual meeting. Neither the boardor Wildwood had thought about this yet but it seems that the request forcandidates should come out sometime this month and the annual meetinginvitation in early October.
The meeting was called to order at 7:19 pm. Minutes of theprevious special meeting and June 30 board meeting were approved. Reid Cain discussedfinancials stating that the HOA was doing fine, assets continued to increaseahead of budget. Tom asked if the 14k was correct and Reid confirmed. There isan upcoming large expenditure for seal coat. Motion to approve was made andseconded then approved without a vote. Wildwood is updating the financials tobe ready in mid-late Sep. The amended by-laws changing the number of boardmembers still needs to be filed.
Delinquency report: Wildwood did not provide any details butsaid there was nothing out of the ordinary. Tom asked if she had made a drivethrough the neighborhood. She said she had and observed some trees needingattention and some landscaping. It looked OK but there was room to improve thecurb appeal. The welcoming committee has reached out to several new residents. GregAnderson said several ACC approvals had been given and some items were beingmanaged without ACC requests.
Old Business: Playground - Rainbow came in June and recently sent a report to the board. Ten days ago, a list of parts was sent to the manufacturerand is being reviewed but there is no response yet. The 6 week project is nowentering a 4th month with no clarity on what the next step is.Rainbow has been paid ½ of their charge; the second invoice has not been receivedand will not be paid yet. The board agreed to keep Lisa Luna engaged with thisbecause she has been helpful.
Another Movies in the park is scheduled for September. Thelatest one had around 20 participants. Joel Grus suggested that we try to havea social get-together prior to the movie since it does start until dusk.
Sign painting - theboard reported that a family member got COVID; the company will be coming outat the end of the week (presumably to do some more work?). Tom reported that hehas gotten help from some of the members of the community on the signlettering.
Street repair – Reid has contacted some company and theywant to postpone a couple of months until September. Someone also contactedLone Star and Wildwood mentioned Longhorn. The board stated they want to do thepatch work first by mid-Oct at the latest.
Landscaping for the exit to Waterview was raised. Bruceraised a point-of-order that this item was not on the agenda so homeowners didnot comment during the homeowners forum. Tom allowed comments and Bruce statedthat the wall certainly needs something to make it look better but he felt theHOA should show it can finish its ongoing projects before starting another one.The board is looking at adding proposals into next year’s budget.
New business: Annual meeting – the board planned to discussin executive session but did ask for member input on how it should be held. Therewere no strong opinions given but the general feeling was a desire for anin-person meeting while providing on-line participation.
The meeting adjourned at 7:52 pm without a motion to adjourn.
Bruce Anderson
Neighbors,
I have read too many of these emails and been silent over the last 6-9 months. Your tone needs help. Your “as usual” comments do not create a sense of community and we have had a sense of great community for the three years we have been here and I’m sure prior to that from what I gathered from the amazing people who welcomed us to the neighborhood. Let’s all keep it professional and if you have issues or concerns, raise them appropriately with respect for our volunteer board members. This neighborhood is amazing and we are so happy to be in it and haven’t had these types of emails until the last 6-9 months as an estimate. This is not the only one, but just pushed me over.
Board members,
Thanks for all you do.
Shelley Hall

Wow. You have too much time on you’re hands. If you’re looking to volunteer, I could certainly find something for you. Tired of these long wind bag emails. Grow up.

Your. Dang auto correct. The board is doing a great job. Not sure what your problem is. Going to get off the group email, because tired of seeing a dust up about nothing. Weird.

Couple of things to consider--
Continued negative comments or slandering, in my opinion, does not garner support. Something our current Board President said in the past when we were dealing with the issues of opening the back gate and the actions of those outside the gate, we should take the high road. Continued belittling and/or slanderous comments is not the high road. None of us are better than any other person.
I don't know exactly why each of us moved to this neighborhood. Besides moving away from where ever each of us came from (and whatever those associated reasons are), something (probably multiple things) about the Limestone Ranch subdivision attracted each of us to this neighborhood. With that, I believe there is credit due to our current (and past) board members for all they currently do and have done over the years (longer than some of us have lived in this subdivision) that have resulted in the attractiveness of Limestone Ranch. My family and I have been here for 7 years, and during this time we have not and do not see nor believe our past/current board members have or are currently doing things to reduce the attractiveness of our neighborhood.
Sincerely,Tom Carroll
