HOA Meeting - June 2009

Last night we held our monthly board meeting at the Pool on Brookleaf. We were very surprised to learn that there was a small number of residents who had decided to attend the meeting to voice their concerns regarding pool closure for the summer. It was great to see some turn out and as always we are looking for volunteers for our committees.

As you may already be aware, letters were sent out a few months ago that contained an opinion poll for the community's recommendation for the pool.

Due to the large scale repairs and renovations that must occur, the Board was pleased to see an overwhelming response from the community to close the pool for the 2009 season and make all necessary repairs to create a safe environment for our homeowners.

We have contracted an architect to look at the land plot and design new bathrooms, a new pump room and possible covered picnicking area. We are very excited to see what the architecture presents to us, and will be happy to post the plans once finalized. It is our goal to have all renovations completed prior to the beginning of the 2010 season and maybe even have a grand reopening party.

We understand that the closing of the pool is an inconvenience for many families. We are currently trying to work out an arrangement with Chimney Hill I HOA to allow our residents to use their pool. We do however expect them, if they are in favor, to charge a nominal fee for pool access to assist with their expenses and liability coverage.

We will also be posting some links in another post about free things to do around Houston during the summer to help keep the kiddos busy. We thank you so much for your support and understanding. It is our goal as a proactive HOA Board to provide you and your family a safe, healthy environment that you and our neighborhood can be proud of.

Also, one of the residents in attendance had some concerns regarding a home on Brookleaf (by Firebrick). Apparently there are squatters in the abandoned home. We can tell you that we have sent letters regarding the worsening condition of the home to the title holder. As far as the squatters, if you see activity, please call the Sheriffs Department.
