2011 Goals — Revisited

As we close out our year it is appropriate to look at the goals we established and determine what was accomplished.
  • Have developer John Morrissey sign the 5th Amendment to bring his subdivision into CTHOA.  John has signed and we have reviewed and approved the plans for his townhouses.  He plans to build a model this Spring.
  • Resolve contract issues with CTGCC.  We have one open item which is getting title to the 15 foot wide West entrance which we landscape.  We will jointly meet with Standard Bank to get them to release this property so we permanently control our entrance.
  • Meet our financial goals as defined in the 2011 operating plan.  Through November we are ahead of plan so we will achieve this goal.
  • A Satisfactory, no Comment Audit from our outside CPA firm.  Accomplished!
  • Reduce speeding on our streets utilizing our new speed control system.  Accomplished, but there are still some exceptions.
  • Reassess location and size of our traffic signs.  To be carried over as a goal in 2012.
  • Pursue outside grants as a non-profit organization.  We have tried, but grant money is very tough to come by in this economy.  We will stay at it next year.
  • Continue maintenance projects on the sidewalks and sewers.  We have completed nearly half of our sidewalks and upgraded our storm sewers.  We will continue subject to budget cash availability.
  • Revise and update our bylaws.  An ongoing program.
  • Continue to expand website usage by owners.  Great progress, see the article in this Newsletter.
  • Improve landscaping on Morningside walking path.  Project completed.
  • Continued progress on Lake Ridge pond.  Essentially done – one more issue to finish.  Will start gravel stabilization on all ponds in 2012.
We are proud of your Board’s results in a time where major infrastructure improvements are required.  We want to thank two Directors who are completing their terms, Dan O’Gorman (six years) and Ray Dignan (four years in his second time around).  Their professional skills were invaluable given the challenges in maintaining our property.

We wish you and your families a Healthy and Happy New Year.
