MISSION STATEMENT (continued)MISSION STATEMENT (continued)
The Board of Directors will develop and administer an annual budget with a prudent spending strategy and concern for keeping our community a great place to live. This will be accomplished by exercising best-value procurements and constant oversight of costs for services received for our community. The Board of Directors will ensure the budget and expenses are posted to the homeowners on an annual basis along with record of fees collected and identification of 60 day or more delinquent payments.
The Board of Directors will encourage and maintain open communication with all members of the Homeowners Association as required by our Bylaws. We will consider the best interests of the homeowners as an aggregate group, realizing that 100% satisfaction of all board decisions is a difficult task.
Our overall philosophy is to make Chadwick Shores Plantation a friendly and desirable community to live in.

2012 UNCOLLECTED DUES2012 UNCOLLECTED DUES2012 UNCOLLECTED DUES2012 UNCOLLECTED DUES
2012 Annual HOA dues have been collected from all but two lots (number 5 and 9). Lot 5 owners has not responded to repeated requests for payment. Lot 9 is owned by the bank as a result of bankruptcy.
Matters will be referred to our attorney to pursue collection of unpaid dues.
Liens will be filed unless paid. Liens will include cost of attorney fees.
After filing the liens, the attorney will proceed with foreclosure.
NOTE FROM BOARD OF DIRECTORS NOTE FROM BOARD OF DIRECTORS REGARDING UNPAID DUESREGARDING UNPAID DUESNOTE FROM BOARD OF DIRECTORS NOTE FROM BOARD OF DIRECTORS REGARDING UNPAID DUESREGARDING UNPAID DUES
We regret legal action for unpaid dues; however, we must be fair with all lot owners.
It is our intent to administer the requirements of the restrictive covenants in an even-handed manner.
Simply put, all lot owners are expected to pay their annual dues on time.
The board continues to spend a great deal of time resolving unpaid dues.
2013 DUES2013 DUES2013 DUES2013 DUES
2013 HOA Annual Dues will remain at $400 per lot Note that dues were reduced in 2012 from $480 to $400 per lot as a
result of good fiscal management of existing HOA funds, analysis of expected income from dues, and anticipated expenses.
The amount of annual dues will be re-evaluated next year based on projected income and expenses.
The Board of Directors will retain a minimum bank balance of $30,000 to cover recurring expenses, any maintenance and improvements, and any unexpected expenses. This was discussed at prior HOA meetings.
2013 DUES COLLECTION SCHEDULE2013 DUES COLLECTION SCHEDULE2013 DUES COLLECTION SCHEDULE2013 DUES COLLECTION SCHEDULE
October 2013 - Letter will be mailed/emailed to all lot owners requesting payment by December 31, 2013 of $400 per lot
December 31, 2013 - Deadline for payment of 2013 annual HOA dues Late fees of $25 per month will be assessed on dues not paid in full
by the December 31, 2013 deadline. HOA dues not received by April 1, 2014, along with late fees, will be
referred to our attorney. This will include possible liens and foreclosure. Keep in mind that liens and foreclosure proceedings will incur substantial attorney fees that are the responsibility of the delinquent lot owner.
LOT MAINTENANCELOT MAINTENANCE(NOTE THIS SAME SLIDE WAS PRESENTED LAST YEAR)LOT MAINTENANCELOT MAINTENANCE(NOTE THIS SAME SLIDE WAS PRESENTED LAST YEAR)
All lot owners are expected to keep their grass mowed and maintained as required by the restrictive covenants.
Restrictive covenants state maximum grass height of 16 inches. However, a neater appearance is expected on lots with homes.
Owners are also expected to maintain drainage ditches and overflow ponds on or bordering their property. Note that many ditches currently have uncontrolled growth, including trees. This vegetation must be cleared to prevent blocking proper drainage.
The HOA is responsible for maintenance of the common areas and for ensuring community easements are maintained.
Unruly lots and ditches are subject to enforcement as specified in the restrictive covenants.
A list of lawn maintenance services can be provided in necessary.

VALIDATION OF CURRENT OFFICERS AND VALIDATION OF CURRENT OFFICERS AND BOARD MEMBERS FOR 2013BOARD MEMBERS FOR 2013
Members of the Board of Directors were elected during the fall of 2010 by vote of existing lot owners. Everyone on the current BOD has expressed a desire to continue serving in this capacity for at least another year until the HOA is more firmly established.
HOA Officers were selected from existing board members. Call for acceptance of the current board members and officers
through next year without changes (for continuity). Anyone interested in participating as a future board member or
officer should submit their name to the board along with a statement of your background and experience with homeowner’s associations, and why you are interested.
Volunteers are needed to help with beautification and upkeep of the community. Volunteers and suggestions gladly accepted.
