Welcoming: ~~Kelly Estrada~~

The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM.

President’s report:

Stacey cleaned out the tiny libraries. The dog biscuit container was taken from the South Park tiny library again, so she replaced it.

Vice President’s report:

No report.

Secretary:

No report.

Treasurer’s Report

Karen has submitted payment for the South Park repaving project ($16,000).
The board will review available balances and the budget at the December meeting to determine what to move into the savings account for future projects. As of now, the budget is on track to move approximately $4,000 to savings at the end of the year.
For a copy of the budget, please contact treasurer@pickwickvillage.org

By-Laws:

No report.

Beautification:

The paving on the South Park path is complete, but the path will need to be sealed in the spring. Mike has requested a quote for that work from the same company that did the paving. Mike is continuing to add straw and grass seed around the path.
The board discussed plans for cleaning out the garbage cans in the parks during the winter months. A neighborhood middle-schooler has volunteered to do this work. He will plan to check the cans every two weeks and assess whether different timing is needed as the season progresses.

Welcoming:

Kelly has attempted to deliver a welcoming package to the newest resident in Pickwick Village and will continue to do so.

Social media

No report.

New business

Three new members have joined the board, in the positions of Vice President, Beatification, and Web Management/Social Media. The outgoing board members will transfer all necessary documents and information to the new board members before the December meeting.
The board discussed dues amounts for 2025. As contract costs increase (e.g., snow and landscaping), there is a need to increase dues. The 2025 dues will be $120.00, an increase of $2.00 per resident (plus any fees associated with online payment).
The board plans to send a newsletter along with the dues notices in January. This discussion was tabled until the December meeting, when the board will set dates for 2025 activities to include in the newsletter.
The annual holiday decoration contest is coming up again. Residents must have all lights and decor up and turned on by 6:00 p.m. on December 20 to be eligible for a prize this year.
Dave Spotts brought up the sidewalk paving that is planned for Pickwick residents. Many residents received green marks on their sidewalks, indicating that the residents are responsible for having the areas replaced or for paying Canton for replacement. The board discussed the option of allowing residents to pool together to hire a company for this work. The board will discuss this option further at future meetings.

Old Business

None

The meeting adjourned at 7:55 p.m.
The next meeting will be held at 7:00 p.m., Tuesday, December 17,
at 6760 Brookshire Drive.

President: Stacey Krum

Vice President: Katy Marquart

Treasurer: Karen Ryan

Secretary: Emily Kagey

Beautification: Mike Tykoski

~~By Laws: Kurt Richter~~

~~Welcoming: Kelly Estrada~~

~~Social Media: Kyle Stone~~

The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM.

President’s report:

Stacey is in communication with three neighbors who have expressed interest in joining the board. She will reach out to them to schedule the transition by the second November meeting.

Cory Jackson (Vice President position)
Dave Potts (Social Media position)
Kelli Kunec (Beautification position)

The Halloween parade was so well attended that all treats were handed out. Stacey has found that several of the items are on sale now, so she is going to try to stock up now for next year.

Vice President’s report:

No report.

Secretary:

No report.

Treasurer’s Report

Receipts were presented and paid for Halloween parade supplies ($145.95) and welcoming packages ($50).
The budget is on track. The board will review available balances and the budget at the December meeting, once insurance and the south park paving project are paid, to determine what to move into the savings account for future projects.
For a copy of the budget, please contact treasurer@pickwickvillage.org

By-Laws:

No report.

Beautification:

The south park paving project is scheduled to take place on November 8
- Update since this meeting: The project took longer than anticipated, but was completed as of November 12.
- Mike is adding hay and grass seed around the path.
- The contractors noted that this round is likely the last time we can add a layer on the top; the next time repairs are needed, we will need to fully tear out the path and pave a new one.
Mike will submit the application and $2,500 payment for the 2028 roads project.
The board is in need of a resident volunteer to store the signs used to announce dues and meetings. The volunteer would not need to serve on the board; their only role would be to store the signs and place them out at the appropriate time, approximately three times a year.

Welcoming:

A new neighbor has moved into 6836 Brookshire Drive. Kelly will deliver a welcome package.

Social media

No report.

New business

Old Business

Mike received a quote from Swifty of $20,650 per year for lawn and snow.
- This represents an increase of approximately 14% over our current contract ($18,040 per year).
- This new quote would be a 2-year extension to our current contract (summer 2025, winter 2025-26, summer 2026, winter 2026-2027).
- The board previously discussed extending the contract, and then getting all new quotes in 2026. After reviewing the quote, members also unanimously approved the extension at this meeting.

The meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.

The November and December meetings will be held on the following dates:

Thursday, November 21, 7:00 pm (either 6835 Brookshire Drive or 6760 Brookshire Drive; location to be determined closer to the date)
Tuesday, December 17, location TBA

2024 ANNUAL HOA BOARD MEETING – 8/24/24

Posted on November 14, 2024 by pickwick

Approximately 20 neighbors attended the annual meeting prior to the picnic.

What the board has been up to this year:

Monitored South Park draining — new system seems to be working
Gathered quotes to repair/resurface or replace South Park path; plan to begin work late-September
Neighborhood Roads Projects for 2024 underway now; we have now applied and been approved for projects through 2027
Maintained park pavilion and Tiny Libraries (North and South Parks)
Gathered quotes for tree trimming in both parks; due to high price of all quotes, board members trimmed trees and cleaned up in North Park; South Park is scheduled for next summer
Maintained irrigation lines in Barchester entry island
Had playscape company assess current play structures and provide cost estimates as well as guidance for replacing them
Weeded playscape areas in both parks, entry island, and cul-de-sac islands
Rototilled volleyball court
Welcomed numerous new neighbors with welcome packets
Created the Pickwick Newsletter and summer event flyer
Planned and hosted outdoor movie nights, annual chili cookoff, slow roll bike parade, holiday lights and decorating contest, Halloween parade, neighborhood garage, and the annual picnic and campout

Treasurer’s Report

Karen Ryan provided an overview of the current status of the HOA’s budget and finances.

New business and discussion topics

Three board members are rotating off this year. We are in need of volunteers to fill the positions of Beautification, Vice President and Social Media
- Corey Jackson volunteered for Vice President
- The board is following up with a few neighbors who also expressed interest in volunteering.
Neighbors are reminded that branches over sidewalks MUST be trimmed to leave at least a seven-foot clearance above the sidewalk; this keeps our neighbors safe, and it’s required by Canton ordinance.
The playscapes in both the North and South Parks are approximately 30 years old. The board has been in communication with a playscape company throughout the year to determine possibilities for updating the playscapes. This included phone call discussions, emails, and an on-site consultation. The North Park playscape was deemed to be in greater need of replacement, structurally. Due to the estimated cost, the board is following a five-year plan to try and save enough money to replace both structures.
A resident brought up concern regarding the drainage pipe along Greenwood.

Future Projects/Events/Ideas

Replace North and South Park playscapes (long-term plan)
Back-to-school movie night (September 7, 2024)
Chili Cookoff and fall movie night (October 19, 2024)
Holiday lights and décor contest (December 2024)
Hammock posts in parks
Install baseball bases and fix up backstop in North Park
Food truck nights (https://yourneighborhoodbites.com/)
Butterfly/hummingbird wildflower gardens or community veggie garden in North and South parks
Cement cornhole set
Seasonal hockey rink in North Park
