Timberton Neighbors –

Thank you to all TVHA homeowners who attended the annual meeting and social on June 25, 2018. You helped to make it an enjoyable time and we are appreciative of those who mingled and got to know your Timberton neighbors better. If you are interested, you can follow this link, https://timberton.org/2018-annual-meeting-pictures/ or visit the home page of our Timberton website, to view some pictures from the event. The pictures will scroll automatically, or you can click and view one at a time. If you hold your cursor or touch the picture, a short description of that picture will appear as well.

Although we announced the results of the voting at the Annual meeting, we wanted to let everyone who could not be there know the results as well. We had a total combination of 50 proxies and ballots.

1. Reallocation of Reserve for Uncertainties 50 Yes, 0 No
2. Ratification of the new budget for 2018-19 50 Yes, 0 No
3. Ratification of the annual update of the Reserve Study 50 Yes, 0 No
4. Election of new Board Directors:

Mike Burke 49 Votes
Dave Tietjen 49 Votes
Gloria Wilcox 48 Votes

5. Reduction of Board Meeting Frequency to Quarterly 43 Yes, 3 No

We will be having a Special Board meeting soon, and we’ll notify you of that date, to allow the new Directors to vote for Officer and other positions on the Board. At that meeting we will also set the calendar for dates of the regular meetings, since those will now be held quarterly.

A special thank you to Cynthia Blacketor and Lloyd Gill who served our community as Board Members. Your presence will be missed.

The Port Ludlow Village Council Disaster Preparedness Committee is sponsoring a lecture on Saturday April 23rd at noon at the Beach Club.  The speaker will be noted local geologist Michael Machette.

The topic of his discussion will be about earthquakes and tsunamis and how Port Townsend businesses and residents might be affected by this as well as what Port Ludlow Residents might expect to happen in the bay.

And your Timberton HOA Board is working on some Disaster Preparedness information that will be posted on the Timberton Village web site (this place). Stay tuned!

And if you have any ideas, use the comments (below) to add your thoughts.

Message from the TVHA Finance Committee

by

The finance committee is looking for member assistance with the development of a written policy to clarify the assessment dues invoicing process, including due dates, when payments are considered late, the assessment of late fees and penalties, and the property lien process for non-payment.  The goal of the policy is to ensure that homeowners are aware of the processes and repercussions if payment is not made in a timely fashion.

If you are interested, please contact Vicki Derrenberger at vderren25@yahoo.com

Background:

At the annual meeting held on June 29, 2015, the membership voted to modify the assessment dues invoicing schedule from quarterly to semi-annual. The change to semi-annual was made to reduce expense paid to the outside bookkeeping service.  Assessment dues invoices are emailed, a previous cost savings change, to homeowners twice a year. The first installment is for July-December and the second installment is for January-June.

TVHA assessment dues payments should be remitted to the address listed below.

Bluebill “Fall Prevention” Meeting

by

The Bluebill Fall Prevention Program highlights hazards in the home and talks about tools that can be used to help prevent falls. Improvements such as grab bars and handrails are critical; so is the awareness of possible dangers, such as lighting, clutter, throw rugs, extension cords on the floor and more.

The Bluebills identify and provide installation of these improvements to your home, and attendees can sign up for a home inspection at the meeting.

The meeting is set for 3-5 p.m., Thursday, April 16 at the Bay Club, 120 Spinnaker Place, Port Ludlow. Contact Dick Ostlund for more information at 360-437-7747.
