This is the response I received back.
Thank you for letting me know I forgot to attached the letter. I'll have to wait until I get to the office to forward them to you.
A letter will be going out regarding the Annual Meeting and nominations for new board members hopeful before the end of the year.
Anyone can submit a name for property manager and it will be checked. The current Board has already started investigating other property managers.

AmVets Donations
Good morning neighbors,
AmVets will be sending a truck to our area on Tuesday, December 15 to collect items for donation. I have many things to donate and will be working from home that day in order to coordinate with them on the pick-up. If anyone else has items they would like to donate and you cannot be home or have not scheduled a pick-up with AmVets, you are welcome to bring them to my house prior to Tuesday. I have plenty of space in my garage…Please feel free to call or email to coordinate.

November HOA Minutes
President, Bob Wolfgang called the meeting to order with Gary Gentry, Gary Petersen, Fran Oroson and Jim Curley in attendance.
Minutes of the October meeting were approved.
Minutes of the October meeting were approved.
Monthly financials were approved. We have had some extra ordinary expenses this year, repairing an outside wall, portion of roofing needed replaced, and installing a garage door (this is reimbursable as the unit owner is responsible for this cost), thus, we have depleted a large portion of our reserves. Even so, the Board elected not to increase the Association Fees for 2010 at this time, reserving the right to re-evaluate the necessity at a later date.
Leaf removal and gutter cleaning has been completed. Any additional need for these services will be looked at when made aware for the need.
Parking continues to be a problem and Jim Curley Properties will be sending out a letter to all homeowners and renters addressing this problem. The Board has received so many complaints that something has to be done. Fran Oroson made the following motion, Gary Petersen seconded the motion it was passed unanimously: Twelve spaces throughout the community will be designated as “Reserved” parking. These spaces will be rented spaces at a cost of $50 per month with a year’s lease for the designated space. Each rented space will have a Reserved sign with the unit number printed on it; anyone other than the person renting the space parking in the designed space will be towed. Rented spaces will be assigned on a first come first serve basis. Any one unit can only rent one space.
The Board also decided that cars parked in the Visitor Only Spaces illegally will be towed. The CCRs state that homeowners with a one car garage have two parking spaces, one in the garage and one on the pad. Homeowners with a two car garage have four parking spaces, two in the garage and two on the pad.
Delinquencies continue to be an issue, and since the economy continues to be tight the Board decided it might help if giving homeowners some extra time to pay their monthly association fees and not charging a monthly late fee would help. Gary Petersen made the motion, Gary Gentry seconded the motion and it was unanimously passed: Effective January 1, 2010, the $25 per month delinquency fee will be done away with. Instead Administration Fees will be levied on a quarterly basis as follows: Association Fees three month in arrears will have an Administration Fee of $75 levied against them; six months in arrears will have an Administration Fee of $150 levied against them. If the Association Fees are paid in full prior to the Administration Fee being levied, no extra fee will be allocated.
A replacement tree at Unit 100 will be planted at the appropriate time. The landscapers will be notified.
Jim Curley Properties will be sending a letter to all homeowners and renters regarding the above parking situation as well as addressing the garbage cans being left in front of the units all week. According to the CCRs garbage cans are not to be seen from the street, this is an unsightly representation to our community. There will be a daily fine assessed against offenders. It was decided by the Board that all the letters and warnings issued to offenders is not working, so perhaps a $25 per day fine will get the message across.
Jamie Rothberg from Fridrick, Pinson & Rothberg Insurance Agency was present to discuss the insurance policy covering The Greens. This is a specialty condo coverage sold in 29 states. The Association Fees pay for this coverage. We have a three year policy with a rate guarantee, meaning our premiums will not go up for three years. Our policy has a $2,500 deductible. Homeowners who would like to have a copy of the Insurance Certificate can get one at no cost by going on line at: www.FPRinsurance.com. Any specific insurance questions should be sent to the Board at nashborogreens@yahoo.com, and they will be directed to Fridrick, Pinson & Rothberg Insurance Agency.
The policy we have covers the building as it was when first constructed. As an example, should a unit(s) be destroyed by fire, it would be rebuilt as it was when first constructed. If the unit floors were covered with carpeting, the insurance would cover the cost of replacing carpeting on the floor. However, if hardwood floors were installed to replace the original carpeting, the insurance coverage would only cover the cost of the carpeting. Any additions and/or up-grades made to the unit would not be covered. Should a covered event happen in our community and the unit(s) is rebuilt, and codes have changed since the original construction, the insurance company will rebuild the unit to meet the new codes requirements.
The coverage written by Fridrick, Pinson & Rothberg does not cover construction issues. When the original owners purchased their unit they were given a 10-year construction warranty. Since the contractor (Westminister) has gone out of business and left the State, the warranty policy we were given is null and void.
The master insurance policy does not cover repairs to HVAC systems, hot water tanks, plumbing, or any other normal maintenance issues, nor does the Homeowners Association. Therefore, it is important that individual homeowners have HO6 Condo Coverage with their own insurance carrier, this is a point that Jamie stressed several times.
The letter Jamie gave to the Board is attached.
The meeting was adjourned. There will be no meeting in December. The next meeting will be The Annual Meeting in January, 2010. A letter will be sent all homeowners with the date, time and meeting location.

Crime Update Information
Hello all and I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
I was invited to and emergency Crime Update meeting last week with members of HOA Boards and Crime Watch Groups to discuss the upsurge of crime through out all of "District 29".
Things that were discussed and what we plan to do
- In the last four weeks we had someone mugged on the corner of Nashboro Greens and Longhunter at 12 noon on a Sunday.
- Wednesday night I went out front and saw again on our corner two people being arrested at the same corner.
- 2 shootings have occurred in Nasboro Village
- and last but not last Home Burglaries are way up in the houses, condos, and the apartments.
- In all the locations, because of the economy, condos and houses are being rented, and there is a lack of having any control of who rents them. This is not helping the crime rise. Places that are rented in some areas are causing the crime, So again, we cannot blame everything on the apartments. In the Nashboro Village Apartments, they were just each individually checked by management and whoever broke the rules have been served with eviction papers.
Things that we find are issues that are not helping us at all
- Police are taking too long to respond to calls.
- Not enough people are calling the police when they hear gunshots, or see strange people walking around the area. Get involved, otherwise the crime rate will even go higher.
- If you see anything strange going on in a condo or kids hanging out where they should not be, then call crime stoppers and you will not have to give your name.
Actions we are looking to take to make a difference
- Starting to form more neighborhood watch teams. We are even looking at have some combined meetings with other groups around the area.
- Call the police and keep calling, do not be afraid!
- We want to have a Police Precinct closer to our area
We know that we cannot all stumble in to the Mayor's Office so we are creating a petition together to give to the Mayor discussing all the issues. Once created I will come door to door to have you sign. If anyone else is willing to step in and give me some help that would be great.
If you have read this on the blog, please leave your email in the subscribers block, because I am not sure if I have the list for all of you.
If anyone is interested in being part of a neighborhood watch group or can help in anyway then let me know. (Mssphotography@aol.com)
Thanks everyone!
