November 15th 2010 Meeting Cancelled and New Time for 2011

It has been decided that there is no need to meet November 15th 2010 for a regular board meeting.  This meeting has been cancelled.

We will resume meetings on January 24th 2011 beginning at a new time of 6:30 pm instead of 7:00 pm.  This will be the new regular time for all meetings going forward.




Annual Meeting 2010 Results

The Annual Meeting was Held on 11/3/2010 and a Quorum was met to hold the meeting.  Thank you to all the home owners that provided a Proxy and Showed up to the Meeting in order to meet the Quorum of Home Owners.  This was the second meeting that was held in order to meet these requirements.

Please keep in mind that it costs about $700 to send out additional mailings until we meet the quorum.

A new Board Member was elected to the Board as a result of the meeting to fill the 2010 to 2013 Term.  Please welcome Arbor Ridge Home Owner Mike Foster.

Two other positions remained open and one position was filled by appointment of the Board after the Annual Meeting by Dave Cummings.  Dave is returning to fill another term as a Board Member of a position that was not filled by any other home owner in the community.  The board will seek to appoint the final position on the board in the near future.  If any home owner is interested please let us know by emailing us or contacting Lynda Dulong at The Management Group.




Annual Meeting – Rescheduled November 3 2010

Due to the lack of the number of proxies being returned with the combination of home owners attending tonight, we were unable to complete the Annual Meeting.  The meeting has been rescheduled for Wednesday (Not Monday) November 3rd 2010 at the Somerset Christian Church.

In order to have a Board to complete the needed and required tasks of the CCR’s we need to establish a Quorum of Home Owners at the meeting and/or proxies returned providing voting rights to elect new Board Members.  Each time we do not meet the Quorum it costs you the Home Owner additional money to have a required mailing sent to each Home Owner.  The Cost is usually around $700-$800 per mailing to all 571 homes.  This includes the cost of paper, printing, mailing and time for the mailing to be processed.

Please attend the next annual meeting or you can obtain a Proxy Form here –> 2010 Oct 25th Proxy

You can scan and email it to Lynda DuLong or Fax it to 503.598.0554

Annual Meeting Reminder – October 25th

Home owners just a reminder that the Annual Meeting is this coming Monday Oct 25th 2010 @ 7pm at the Somerset Christian Church 16255 NW Bronson Rd, Beaverton, OR 97006.  Please arrive early to sign in so the meeting can start on time.

Recently all Home Owners received a letter from our Management Company containing a proxy form and information on the upcoming Annual Meeting on October 25th 2010.  It is really important that if you can not attend the annual meeting that you send the proxy form back in the postage paid envelope.  Last year it took three mailings and meetings to get a quorum of Home Owners in order to move forward with day to day business.  These extra mailing cost you as Home Owners $700 per a mailing.

We would really like to see the Home Owners attend the Annual Meeting so that you can have input on the members of the Board, find out what is occurring in your neighborhood and provide feedback as an Arbor Ridge Home Owner.

If you are interested in running for a Board Position please contact Lynda Dulong at The Management Group (see the contacts page) .  We are also looking for people to be involved with the Social Committee, Neighborhood Watch Committee, Architectural Review Committee, Newsletter Committee and Landscape Committee.  Please let us know by emailing us, contacting Lynda Dulong or attending the Annual Meeting.

The Annual meeting is a great opportunity to meet the Board of Directors and the Management company that help manage the community.  If you are interested in a Board Position or would like to be a member on one of the committees this is a great place to get involved.

City By Choice

At the September 27th Board meeting a presentation was made by a group called City By Choice.  The purpose of the presentation was to inform the community about changes in the near future to the area we live in.  The scope was around a decision that has been involving Washington County, the Urban Growth Boundary and possible annexation of our area by either Beaverton, Hillsboro or Portland.

The group is also exploring the possibility of forming the area from Cedar Mill to Rock Creek into its own city.  They would like everyone take take a survey on their web site to assist in helping to decide the future of the area we live in.

They will be holding two more COMMUNITY FORUMS to share what we’ve heard and get even more input.

  1. October 19, 2010 …Oak Hills Community Church (Fireside Room) …6:00PM – 8:00PM.
  2. November 8, 2010 … Rock Creek Community Church … 6:00PM – 8:00PM.

You can learn more about them and their group on their web site.

Several homes were noted having poorly trimmed bushes and shrubs by Showplace.

Also a dead tree was identified during the last walkthrough and should be removed and not replaced. Cathy P. noted that there are several trees on Laidlaw and other locations on the property that have branches drooping and broken which may cause issues with traffic and don’t have a good appearance. Also more graffiti has been noted on the property fences.

Management report –

Administration –Most issues are non-board related just reminders to homeowners.

Financial – 16904 NW Oak Creek Dr is trying to get a $75 fine removed. The Board has already motioned to keep the fine. 4185 NW Chapparral Tr. Will be waved since this is a first time fine. And the homeowner has taken care of the issue.

Repairs and Maintenance –Bark dust is having some delays but some has been distributed. Fence cleaning will be cleaned after bark dust is distributed. And the seal coating on the private drives will also be done this season. Discussion on notifications and warning signs for homeowners on theses private streets was discussed.  The company will be asked if they have signage to warn the homeowners.

Unfinished Business – Sign Resolution was discussed at great length, a synopsis of that discussion will be documented here. There were some edits to the sign resolution and those edits will be forthcoming as an addition to the minutes. The one major change is that rental signs will only be allowed in the residence windows on the main floor.  No signs will be allowed outside the home.  Motion to approve the sign resolution once the edits were in place by Cathy P. and seconded by Sunil L.  As of July 2010 the current signage cases pending for rental signs will be waved and TMG will notify these homeowners of this information ASAP.
