Brookstone Park Homeowners Association

FYI…The pool is clean, water temp is 75 degrees, salt lev­els are nor­mal. The pool is okay to swim in. It has been checked sev­er­al times this week.  There is only pollen accu­mu­la­tion on the top due to the high lev­els of pollen this year.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Brookstone Park Homeowners,                                          January 31, 2014

Please let me begin by apol­o­giz­ing for the delay in get­ting this intro­duc­tion of the 2014 Board out to each of you. It has not been the smoothest of tran­si­tions between the 2013 Board and our Current Board. That being said please let me intro­duce your 2014 Board; my name is Christopher Ratliff, along with Roni Kalec, and Rita Chapman.  As your new Board it is our goal mov­ing for­ward to get our neigh­bor­hood back to a more fru­gal and com­mon sense type approach that I believe as your vol­un­teers for the Homeowners Association we owe you. The great peo­ple on the 2014 Board, Architectural, and Covenant Committees real­ize that by liv­ing here you have cho­sen to make Brookstone Park your home, and that it is our duty to you and your fam­i­lies to enhance that expe­ri­ence by mak­ing sure that every­one fol­lows the covenants in a rea­son­able and respon­si­ble way.  In mov­ing towards that goal the Board has appoint­ed Dick Powell as Vice President in order to uti­lize his many years of ser­vice and expe­ri­ence that he has giv­en our com­mu­ni­ty. The Board has also appoint­ed Edgar Thompson as Vice President over Architectural and Covenants; his respon­si­bil­i­ty will be to over­see these com­mit­tees and use his many years of expe­ri­ence to make your home improve­ment or covenant expe­ri­ence a pleas­ant one. These two gentleman’s guid­ance to the new Board will be invalu­able. We are all neigh­bors and we all want many of the same things. We all want to live some­where that we feel proud of, and with the com­fort of know­ing that as neigh­bors we are here to work togeth­er for the bet­ter­ment of our neigh­bor­hood.  Therefore, the 2014 Board has vot­ed to rescind all pre­vi­ous­ly open 2013 covenant vio­la­tions and make a fresh start in 2014. Your new Board has also, decid­ed to reverse the club­house rental rates that the pre­vi­ous Board vot­ed to put in place for 2014. The pre­vi­ous Board had vot­ed to increase our rental fees to $40 for upstairs rental, and $50 for the down­stairs. We have decid­ed to return it to our pre­vi­ous rental rate of $25. The ameni­ties we enjoy here in Brookstone Park are an exten­sion of your home, and as such, we believe that by pay­ing your dues the high­er price for rental of your Clubhouse was not war­rant­ed. The new Board real­izes that it is your mon­ey we are man­ag­ing our Homeowners Association with and that it is our respon­si­bil­i­ty to spend that mon­ey very fru­gal­ly. It is one of our goals to build up our reserve funds to the point that we could even­tu­al­ly low­er our annu­al homeowner’s dues in the future.

We also are look­ing for­ward to get­ting back to many of the activ­i­ties that we used to enjoy here in Brookstone Park, such as our year­ly cook­out, ice cream socials for the kids and their fam­i­lies, fam­i­ly movie nights down at the pool, (every­one brings a dish for din­ner and a movie) Christmas at the Clubhouse includ­ing Santa that our kids can take a pic­tures with…  If you can think of oth­er activ­i­ties you would like to see your HOA enter­tain then please share your thoughts by send­ing a note through the web­site or drop­ping it in the drop box at the Clubhouse.  Please check our web­site for upcom­ing dates of events. We will also be doing a Brookstone Park Newsletter that will have all this infor­ma­tion in your mailbox.

Eighty one (81) com­plet­ed bal­lots were returned by Brookstone Park home own­ers  in the recent vot­ing for the pro­posed changes to the Bylaws and Covenants.  This num­ber did not meet the required num­ber to put these two changes into effect.  Therefore, there will be no changes to the Brookstone Park Bylaws or Covenants at this time and both will remain as they are cur­rent­ly printed.
