As you know the Annual Membership meeting of the Meadow Walk HOA was held on December 3, 2024. We did not have a quorum of homeowners [21 in person or by proxy]. We had a quorum of the board. This is a brief summary of the meeting.
A copy of the budget and the reserves was placed in the mailboxes of all homeowners. The budget was approved by the board, and the dues will be the same as last year, $705.00 for the year. You should have your Invoice and dues should be paid on time, by january 31, 2025, so as to avoid any late fees.
At the risk of being redundant we discussed at the Annual Meeting the effort to keep the property on Raymond Road from being rezoned to residential, that issue went before the County Planning Commission on November 21. They voted against the necessary rezoning, however, a final decision will be made by the County Commissioners and the date of their meeting is not yet known at the time of this post.
We do not have any specific rules against parking on our streets as they are public and governed by the county. We do however ask that you try to park on only one side of the street or to stagger parking on opposite sides to keep a passable lane for emergency vehicles.
Because of the 2 county buildings going up at the corner of Apex and Palmer, construction will soon begin on a roundabout at the intersection of Apex Rd. & Palmer Blvd.
A new garbage collection company is taking over in Sarasota County in March of 2025. You should have gotten notice to order a new garbage can, if not, contact the county.
As for the board members, Joe thanked Nancy and Vivia for their participation on the board during the last three years. The board members are now: Nick Stine, President, Joe Stewart, Vice-President; Andy Dilley, Treasurer; Mary Lynn Endter, Secretary; and Craig Rapihana, Director. Craig will serve for 1 year and Andy will serve for two.
Please mark your calendars. The board meeting dates for 2025 are March 4, June 4, and September 9, all starting at 6 pm at the library. The annual meeting date is not yet set.
Happy Holidays to all,
Mary Lynn
Secretary, Meadow Walk HOA
