The Orchards HOA Meeting Minutes
September meeting
Date 9/14/17
Start: 7 pm
Present:
Tom Neubauer
Rachel Blom
Janet Prendergast
Ashley Smith
Old Business:
The Blom boys were hired to collect garbage around The
Orchards. Paying them was significantly less than paying our usual person.
Trees and bushes at the entrance off of Betz were trimmed so people can safely walk on the sidewalks now. A bent fire lane sign pole on Whispering Oaks was straightened.
The Board decided to push repainting the fire lanes to spring. The Board will need to call and confirm with the fire department what, if any, the requirements are for repainting the curbs and adding a red stripe on the streets that do not have a “No Parking: Fire Lane” sign.
Tom has postponed moving the mailboxes at this time.
Rachel did find a local painter and a local concrete worker willing to take on small jobs.

the end of the month.
Ashley is in charge of sending a letter to the City of Cheney to turn off the water due to the approaching winter months. Rachel has arranged for Auto Rain to blow out the sprinklers Oct. 13th.
