President’s Report: Sandy then recognized The Hampton’s Hall of Fame award winner, Linda Kidd for her years of service and so those present who did not attend the Volunteer Appreciation Dinner to know who was the 2025 winner of the award.  Linda’s name has been added to the plaque on display in the clubhouse.

Sandy also announced that Mike Davis was present and selling Fun Feud Night tickets.  If residents didn’t attend the one held by the HOA last year, she encouraged them to come this year as it is a lot of fun.

In addition, she told the crowd that the HOA is planning new events for the community this summer.  They will be announced a bit later, but plan to be a good time for everyone!

Sandy also reminded everyone that there are three open seats on the HOA Board and if interested in serving your fellow residents you can see any board member to pick up an application from them.

Previous Meeting Minutes: Sandy asked if there were any amendments to the minutes of the February 2025 meeting.  There being none, a motion to accept the minutes as posted, was made by Sue Wolf, second by Sharon Guy.  Motion carried unanimously.

Treasurer:  Howard Korn gave the treasurer’s report.  The HOA is in good shape financially. There are funds invested in CD’s and Money Market accounts earning interest at a good rate.  These funds are available for projects to enhance the community that are not Sun’s responsibilities and for insurance, legal fees and continuing requirements that all records be digitalized. 

Four computers were purchased for officers to pass to future officers for the purpose of complying with the digitalization requirements and to provide a continuity in history for the next officers.

Sandy asked for a motion to approve and Se so moved to approve the purchase; Second by Sharon.  Motion carried unanimously.

Recycling: Sharon reported on the recycling survey stating that of those who responded 23% would pay to have recycling in the community and that 77% are not interested in contracting to pay a company to do recycling in the community.

Facebook, Website and Directory:  Marianne reported the membership of the Facebook page is being looked at and those who are not eligible to participate are being removed.  It is a slow process but headway is being made.  

The Website is ahead of the projected schedule at this point in time with a preview for the board.  After the board views and approves it, then it will come online.  

The last of the directories are being delivered as time allows. All will be delivered before the end of April.  Please complete a census if you have not done so.  This is the basis for the updates and for the 2027 directory.  If you know of a neighbor who cannot get out and about, please help them by completing a form for them and placing it in the HOA mailbox by the rear entrance to the ballroom.

Concerns:  Pool rules, ants/raccoons Smoking area discussed with Sun, May 1st smoking moves to rear door of clubhouse.  Very successful yard sale.  Going to do a better signage job next year to handle traffic, in case of Emergency, Last item, doing well on the flushing of acceptable items.

Welcome:  Sue reported that she had called on several new residents and will be making more calls in the next few weeks.  In March there were ten homes sold. She asked that anyone who had not been contacted earlier this year to please let her know and she will be over to give you a proper welcome and introduction to the community.

Bingo: Sue reported that the rules required by Polk County with respect to record keeping have been put in place and are being followed.  The bank account for Bingo required by Generally Accepted Accounting Procedures is in the process of being set up and will be finalized in the near future.  Also all previous records have been placed on file and available should the HOA ever be audited by the local authority.
