Called to Order at 7:05pm
Present: Jim Nichols, Jake Cady, Anne Cummings, Ann Laramee, Martha McClintock

Guest Forum: The guests had questions about the culvert at the bottom of Mountain Road.
Secretary: The minutes for July and August were approved.
The board went over some of the emails that we have received from homeowners.
Treasurer: There was no treasurer report for September.
Roads: The board considered bids and approved spending for winter snow removal and for replacement of four culverts.
Loukos Plowing will continue to plow our roads ($ 14,500/year for a three year contract). Jake will stipulate that we need more sand spread on the roads and that the banks should be pushed back more on a regular basis. The vote was unanimous.
Jake had an estimate from Pigeon Brothers for the culvert replacements. The motion was made to accept the estimate and it was approved.
Trails: The trails are a wonderful feature of KHHA and all homeowners are welcome to use and enjoy them. The trails need work and a trail clearing day is planned for November 1st (Rain date November 2nd). Meet at the top of Mountain Road at 8:30am, share a few breakfast snacks, get together with some neighbors, and work on the trails. Many hands will make light work!
KHHA Directory: Anne will get quotes for the printing of the KHHA Directory.
KHHA Annual Meeting: The annual meeting will be held October 27th at 7:00 pm at the Westford Library. At that time, there will be voting on board members for the coming year. We need homeowners in good standing (annual dues must be paid in full) to join the board. If you have interest and the ability to join the board for one evening a month, please email us at khha.vt@gmail.com to get your name on the ballot.

August 2014 KHHA Board Meeting Minutes

Kings Hill Homeowner Association Board Meeting

August 18, 2014 Westford Town Green

Call to order: 7:08

Present: Martha McClintock, Maria Moore, Anne Cummings, Jake Cady

Secretary: The minutes from the July meeting were not read.
The Google account, drive, and blog are working again.
Martha was reimbursed for the mailing of the meeting minutes. Two members provided
us with email addresses as a result of the mailing.
The board was reminded to forward communications with homeowners to the KHHA
email and to “cc” KHHA in responses so that the board has a written record of the
conversations.

Treasurer: The treasurer's report was read and accepted. Three hundred dollars of
back dues were paid last month. A homeowner contacted the treasurer with concerns
about the dues. She suggested that he talk to the president.
Maria will bring a detailed list of delinquent accounts to the September meeting so the
board can move on small claims court proceedings.

Roads: Jake presented the three quotes for next winter's plowing, the quotes were
discussed and will be voted on next month.
Jake presented the quote for the culvert work. The Mountain Road culvert is most in
need of repair.
Jake noted that there are a number of trees that are too close to the road on Birch
Ridge that should be removed before winter. What can be done with the wood that is
cut down?

Directory: Anne is still looking for feedback and is making changes based on feedback
she has had so far. She will look at the price for printing 100 copies of the directory.
Trails: Ann has suggested November 1st for trail work. The rain date will be November
2nd. It is important to get the word out and get some help as there is quite a bit of work
to do.

Annual Meeting: the board discussed what needs to be done to prepare for the annual
meeting and will continue next month.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:08. The next meeting will be September 8th at the
lower Town Offices.
