Board of Directors
Yard of the Month

Due to a resignation there is an opening on the board of directors to fill an unexpired term until the end of 2010.  If you are interested please email info@coppermeadowsonline.com.

Welcome to your neighborhood website!  It’s our privilege to serve the residents as your 2010 Board of Directors.  Several important changes have been enacted recently that are worth sharing in case you missed the February resident meeting. 

Copper Meadows’ Articles of Incorporation have been modified to allow the board of directors to develop the common areas of the neighborhood.  In addition, we’ve worked with the developer to cut the red tape to make these improvements.  The board is now able to approve up to $25,000 in improvements by a board vote and any expense exceeding this amount can be decided by a simple majority of residents.  (This was previously 75% of residents.)  A copy of these revised Articles can be obtained by clicking here.  We’ve also received preliminary approval from a local bank for limited financing, if that is determined to be the will of the residents to fund master plan improvements.  A “Copper Meadows Master Plan” bank account was also opened with $18k transferred from our general fund to start this account.  The 2010 budget has been approved and includes $1,200 a month to be transferred to this Master Plan account for the remainder of this year. 

With these changes, we’ve asked the Master Plan Committee to recommend the next course of action on how to proceed.  As you know, a comprehensive master plan was developed that includes a lot of bells and whistles.  Any common area improvements will be funded by residents through HOA dues, so we expect this to be a master plan to carry Copper Meadows into future decades.  We encourage residents to participate in the Master Plan Committee or contact a board member on the “Contact Us” page to help prioritize the best course of action as we plan for Copper Meadows’ future.

Mark your calendar for this year’s Easter Social on March 27th  and the semi-annual garage sale to be held on April 10th.  Information regarding the social and garage sale were included in the recent newsletter and a flyer will be delivered to your home soon.  Information can also be obtained in the community section of this website.

If you have any questions or concerns pertaining to Copper Meadows please visit the “Contact Us” page.  We look forward to continuing to serve you in 2010.
