This website was originally located at Hearthstoneatwoodfield.info
It was removed by order of the Board of Trustees. I don't know
why. They never gave a reason. They never contributed to
the site or had specific comments. Just take it down.
Well I did, although I own the URL and they really couldn't do a
thing about it. But here it is again. It will find it's
way back to the google search engine eventually. I have
reposted it beacuse of the fquestions regarding water quality and
treatment. Please see the side bar menu. I will state
here that not all the information here will be maintained with
any regularity. So user beware. If there is
something you would like to have updated just make the request.
I will be responsive.
Community Involvement
BTBuzalski 28 September 2013
The attendance at the Board
Meetings is very sparse. It used to be very popular
and extremely vocal. The problem with the vocal part
is that it was mostly negative, and loaded with complaints.
Admittedly there is much to
complain about but that is not constructive. What is
needed is a group of people who are apart from the Board Of
Trustees that have an interest in the community and are
willing to develop a platform for improvement of the
association and our home values. That would be a place
where complaints can be heard and recommendations
collectively developed and presented to the board for their
action.
Right now, the residents have no
voice other than the people they elect to do the job.
The board has autonomy and is only responsible to the
residents when an election is approaching.
In the current environment,
there are no residents who are willing to step forward and
be on the board because they don't want the stress and
criticism coming from the community. We need our
finest and our best to move this community forward.
Lets think about encouraging an
open forum where people can be heard, where they can find
support for what they view as a problem. This group
would have no authority to do anything other than recommend
to the Board. The more who attend the stronger their
voice. |
Neighborhood
Security
If you see suspicious activity in our
community and would like to alert the police we suggest you call
(609)723-8300 to reach the police desk rather than 911. You
might like to put this number in your cell phone for quick access.
Landscaping Ideas
Check out the
slide show of landscape ideas from Legacy Oaks and even our own
community. Food for thought!
Landscaper Problems
BTBuzalski 28 September 2013
As many of you know, Redmond has
been careless with their weed wackers around our properties.
Solar lights have been destroyed, down spouts ruined, and in
my case, the wires to the compressor were severed. My call
to Redmond was unanswered, my inquiry to the board was
referred to the Dan-mar.
A copy of the Redmond Contract
was requested which required a board meeting to approve and
several more e-mails to obtain from Dan-mar.
Copies of letters Dan-mar sent
to Redmond and the Board on my behalf were requested since I
was not copied on any of the documents eluded to have been
sent in e-mails from Dan-mar.
At first there was no
response and then after repeating the request I was notified
that it had been forwarded to their Lawyer. I have yet
to hear from him (or her).
From that action I can infer
that there was no correspondence and requests, if any, were
verbal. I'm a patient man. Lets see what happens
next. In the mean time, I'm still out my $250 to
repair the damage. It looks like I have to hold the
Board, Dan-mar and Redmond liable. Small claims court
doesn't cost much. |
