Bridgefield Estates HOA Board of Directors
Meeting 9-8-2025, 7:30pm
Present: Elyse Geeting, Amy Milligan, Dave Lloyd, James Sanchez, Sam Goodwin, Aaron Bailey
Old Business:
Sidewalk Leveling: Aaron and Amy will be sending an email to homeowners in need of sidewalk leveling at the end of the week.
Neighborhood Signs: Dave confirmed electric works in the front garden beds. Dave will purchase new lightbulbs. Amy is optimistic that painting the second sign will be done this coming weekend.
Fences: Brief discussion about how the HOA decision about fences has already been made by a past Board (split rail fences are the type that are allowed). Two homes were granted permission to install a taller fence when the Board at the time didn’t realize split rail fences are the only allowed fence per bylaws and past Board decisions.
Dues Letters: have gone out, checks are coming in. James has been depositing checks via the mobile app. There is a monthly limit to deposits per month, and James has run up to the limit. James is logging checks as they are dropped off. Discussion about how strict we want to be with the late fee. The group determined we will be lenient with late fees, but we should be more clear on these dates in the future.
3178 Rosefield Shed- still need documentation
AirB&B/short term rental: Joe Lloyd, attorney, is providing guidance on how to proceed with this short term rental property. Injunction is possible if the listing isn’t removed. Dave will follow up.
Bylaws: ongoing discussion on how our bylaws could use simplification/clarification (updated wording)
Sheds in the side yard- discussion on the need to specify rules for sheds or outbuildings regarding their placement
Non-Profit ID #: Amy believes we still have work to do to gain back our nonprofit status. Dave will ask Joe Lloyd about this nonprofit status process. At this point Joe is providing legal advice pro bono.
In person meeting: October 20, 2025 will be an in-person meeting at the township hall. Notices will be posted about this meeting.
New Business:
Bees Nests around the neighborhood. Discussion about sending emails to homeowners to remind people to remove these. Mail delivery person (Ramona) has notified some people of nests that need to be removed.
Correspondence and clip art for HOA: Amy suggested possibly updating the logos on our website. She showed several options she has created. Discussion on our “wheat” actually being soybeans because our neighborhood used to be a soybean field. Amy will provide some options at our October meeting.
Bylaw Summary- Elyse asked the question what kind of vote (if any) is required to increase dues. Dave will work on getting a bylaw summary from Joe Lloyd.
