Armour Hills March 2012 Board Meeting Recap

This post is about a week late!  I’ve been busy trying to work ahead as I’ll be out of town on a little vacation soon. So let’s get right to it—here’s a brief recap of the March 20, 2012 Armour Hills Homes Association board meeting:

Once again, we had several local residents attend and speak about the plans to be more aggressive preventing crime in our subdivision.  The Board is planning a mailing calling for a vote to increase dues, with the extra monies going for regular security patrol a few hours each day.  We are also planning a ‘security fair’ (in June) where residents can stop by and learn about various preventative measures they can take to protect their home and vehicles from burglaries.

The Board is concerned that KCMO is planning to delete funding for residential  fall and spring leaf pick-up  due to budget cuts.  We are drafting a letter to our city council representatives stating we are against this budget cut.

Regarding our PIAC request submitted last year, now that we are now in the 6th district rather than the 4th district, we did not  get as much funding as  requested.  However, thanks to our City Liaison board member Gunnar Hand, we are getting $90,000 for tree maintenance!  Every street tree in Armour Hills will be trimmed and we will have money to plant new trees where needed.  Gunnar is working with the city forester on details to implement this project.  The funds we requested for tennis court maintenence and lights addition will not be available.

Reminder:  the annual Armour Hills garage sale is Saturday May 19, and the Ice Cream Social is September 7.

Armour Hills Board Meeting Recap May 2011

The board of the Armour Hills homes association met last night–here’s a brief recap of what was discussed:

We chose a replacement urn for the round island at W Dartmouth and 70th St.  The board approved purchase and installation costs for the new urn. We also approved funds to landscape the newer island at 70th Terrace and Brookside Road.  The blue spruce tree planted there will be removed and relocated to Arbor Villa Park.  Work on these two projects will begin within the next month.

We are still researching a memorial piece in honor of Pete Egan.  Under consideration are a bench or picnic table for Arbor Villa Park.

We will soon accept advertising in our Clarion newsletter.  Editor Sadie is working on pricing.

Mistie is working on a Welcome packet for new residents. We discussed what sort of information should be included.

The fountains on Rockhill and Edgevale are not working.  Although the pumps were replaced a few years ago with recirculating water pumps, these can’t handle the debris that get clogged in the pipes.  We are authorizing a plumber to review the pipes for repair. 

The board is considering hiring Fun Flicks for an outdoor movie night in the park one evening this summer.  Total cost would be around $1000.  The cost might be offset if we sell ads to show prior to the movie.

The pool at Arbor Villa Park will open June 12; hours are 1-6 Tuesday-Friday, and 1-5 Saturday and Sunday.  The quote we received to keep the pool open an extra week into mid August was $1000.  We felt that was a pretty high expense so will try to negotiate that cost.

Residents are welcome at our monthly board meetings!  Join us at the Country Club Congregational Church for our next meeting, on June 21 at 7pm.
