Candlewood Ridge – Carriage Wood Homeowners’ Association
Minutes of the Meeting
January 19, 2016
The following is a summary of the meeting minutes.
Board Members Present: Alicia Follette, Carol Nyseth, Catherine George, Don Nelson and George McGill
Others Present: One homeowner
This monthly meeting was called to order at 7:00 pm at the King County Sheriff’s Office – Fairwood Storefront.
Fire Department Report: There was no report this month.
Police Report:
Last month we had 141 calls for service that generated case reports in Fairwood. Six were in our HOA area. They were: one burglary, one car prowl, one case of indecent phone calls, one stolen car (warming up in the driveway) and two recovered stolen cars. The two recovered cars were both near the main entrance. If I had to guess, it was someone from the apartments that didn’t want to be spotted in their own hood.
Traffic contacts: 14
Parking contacts: 7
I contacted the direct TV truck that parks on the sidewalk. He promised to stay on the street. I tagged the red truck on 161 SE. I will talk to the owner and get it moved in the next day or two or get it towed. The RV moving every couple of days is more problematic. They are supposed to move every day, however the mechanism for enforcement is to tag and impound them, which can’t be done in two days. When they move the clock starts over.
Approval of Last Month’s Minutes: The last month’s minutes were approved.
Homeowner Concerns:
No homeowner concerns were expressed at this meeting.
Committee Reports:
Common Areas Maintenance Report:
- Reminder to all Homeowners – It is our responsibility (Not King County’s) to keep the street drains clear. Please clear the debris and leaves from the drains by your house and at the ends of your street.
- We continue to have branches and trees fall onto the paths at CR Park. Please contact me at commonareas@crcwhoa.org or call 425-738-8611 #80 and leave a message if you notice any trees or branches at either park or any of the Common areas or entrances.
- I found more stolen mail down at CR Park. It was from 6 houses all on the same cul de sac. I returned what was left and suggested to the Homeowners to get locking mailboxes.
- Reminder all dogs must be on leash – this is a King County Law as well as our policy in our HOA Parks.
- King County Sheriff Patrols and requests will now be coordinated by the CAM Chair and monthly reports will be submitted before each monthly meeting. Please contact the Board with any areas of concern and we will do our best to accommodate.
- Please keep a watch for suspicious Activity and call 911
