Happy Halloween!
Just a couple of things to touch on:
- NO POLITICAL SIGNS ALLOWED. Part of what makes our neighborhood special are some of the rules that keep our neighborhood looking exclusive. That would include nice lawns, maintained homes, and the absence of SIGNS. Have you noticed that we lack that classic picture of For Sale signs lining out streets. There’s a reason for that: 1) WLV only has about 1% of it’s homes for sale and 2) our rules do not allow the regular For Sale signs. Article VIII, Section 11 of our deed restrictions specifically prohibit signs that have not been approved by the Board. It is my personal request that all homeowners abide by that rule and keep our neighborhood visually DE-CLUTTERED. Thanks for your help with this…
- EVER SCREAM WHILE A VACUUM IS RUNNING?!? That’s what your Board is doing now…we need so much help from residents, but no one seems to be hearing us. There may be quite a few Board members who decide they have had enough and come the December meeting, we may be without a quorum. That would be sad, but not unexpected. There is a direct correlation between an active and healthy BoD and home values…in this day and age, isn’t it in your best interest to protect your house value??? I’ve heard all the excuses for NOT volunteering…I challenge residents to MAN (or WOMAN) UP and pitch in for YOUR FAMILY! If things continue status quo, one day these articles will stop appearing and you’ll wonder why…
- In an effort to promote fiscal and environmental responsibility, the BoD has discussed ceasing the mailing of the Village Voice in favor of the following delivery options:
· Email delivery via www.WestlakeVillageHoa.com registration
· Posted on www.WestlakeVillageHoa.com
· Flyer box in Clubhouse parking lot
· Pick up from the Clubhouse Office
· Mailing at the specific request of our members (contact the office)
Come 2009, residents will be able to receive our VV via the methods above. This will save the Village money spent on printing, folding, and mailing, as well as lost productivity from gathering/designing ads, taking the VV to the printer, and driving the VV to Tampa Int'l Airport for mailing. While ad revenue does partially offset our costs, we have lost much productivity in getting the VV to residents (as well as the environmental impacts of having it mailed/delivered to you). With the budgetary restraints we are under, all spending is under the microscope.
As always, any questions or concerns pls call 417.8814
