THE SETTLEMENT ON
WILMINGTON
P.O. Box 30202

Dear Settlement Homeowners,
It's hard to believe we're almost
halfway done with 2014 and now headed towards the heart of summer. The HOA Board wanted to take this opportunity
to update you about the Board's activities and a few upcoming events.
Financial Health
-The Board is proud to report the HOA is in strong
financial health. We collected 2014 HOA
Dues from 61 of 63 homeowners, with the remaining two pending resolution with
the Board. Thank you very much for your
timely commitment to keeping The Settlement a great place to call home, and
allowing the HOA to fully fund its operating budget.
- Our operating budget for 2014 is $10,635.00 allowing
for projected excess funds of $1,065.00 to be deposited into the HOA's reserve
account. The current reserve balance is
$9,225.48, with those funds held for future capital or emergency projects when
necessary.
Neighborhood Improvements
-The Board continues to focus our efforts on maintaining
The Settlement's high quality and curb appeal including the maintenance of the
front entrance and common areas.
-We have been working with the county and a sign vendor
to replace the custom street signs for Settlement Court and Brewton Hill Court
damaged due to age and weather. Special
thanks go to Roni and Harvey Libow for their work in coordinating these
efforts.
-We are collecting bids for new front entrance landscape
lighting. In upgrading the lighting
system, we will lower our current yearly maintenance, replacement and power
bill costs while enhancing the landscaping and visibility of the entrance from
Walthour. We expect this project to be
done mid-summer.
-The Board agreed to a new yearly maintenance agreement
to service The Settlement's well and irrigation systems. Previously, these systems were only
sporadically checked leading to incorrect watering schedules or lack of
watering altogether. In light of some
minor maintenance this year, the Board realized a proper service plan would
benefit the watering needs of our entrance, park and common areas
