Timberlane Incident Forum:: HOA Fraud.. You should be concerned!! read this artical
Wendy, that is just crazy. I can't believe you haven't seen the documents yet. When we bid on our old house the HOA there gave us the budget reports and minutes going back 2 years as well as the bylaws and CCR's so that we could make an informed decision about going through with the purchase. This is exactly why homeowners feel like certain people are trying to hide something. It's hard to trust people who seem to go out of there way to keep from sharing information. Please keep us posted on your mission to see the documents.

Welcome to the Timberlane Interactive Website:: July 22nd HOA Workshop
I could understand brainstorming, but really at this point in our community's "relationship" with the HOA... The board (many are new I know) needs to go above and beyond to repair the years of damage ( I think many are willing and will). I love these discussions too because they do help even out your thought with different perspectives, especially when we are so curtious to each toher. Thanks
Wendy

Welcome to the Timberlane Interactive Website:: Board Meeting
@Alex, I would think that he would indeed only answer to the President or the Officemanger and that the President is obligated to act as the board has voted. If say the board were to vote to end the Lawsuit and Nancy were to continue it then we'd have to send some sort of letter with the minutes and such to proove that she was indeed acting on her own. I don't see that happening, at least I hope she wouldn't.

Requests for the City of Covington [by Alex White]

Welcome to the Timberlane Interactive Website:: Requests for the City of Covington

As I've mentioned before, I am on the City of Covington's Planning Commission, & since I know that sometimes residents of Timberlane feel like the City ignores their requests & inquiries, I would like to offer my assistance with any issues that fellow residents want the City's help on. If you have a question or a concern, please feel free to post it in this thread (or PM me) & I can ask some of the people I work with at the City of Covington and try to help resolve any issues that you might have. Obviously I can't promise anything, but I will try to get answers and/or issues resolved.

Clean Covington Day [by Alex White]

Community Events:: Clean Covington Day

I mentioned this at the Neighborhood Watch meeting last night:

The City of Covington is putting on its 2nd annual Clean Covington Day on September 11th to work on removing graffiti around the City. Since there is a lot of property in Timberlane that has been tagged, hopefully the residents of Timberlane can come together once again to help out in this effort. For more information, please visit the City's website:

Re: HOA Study Session 7/22 [by Ted Cooke]

Welcome to the Timberlane Interactive Website:: HOA Study Session 7/22
I was corrected on another thread that the RCWs and By-Laws make a distinction between a meeting of the owners and a meeting of the board.

As a result, I was wrong to apply RCW 64.38.035 (1) to meetings of the Board earlier in this thread. We can strike the following paragrah from what I said (it's incorrect):

"Similar problems exist elsewhere in the By-Laws. ARTICLE VI, SECTION 1 says, "Regular meetings of the board of directors shall be held monthly without notice...." This clause has been in violation of RCW 64.38.035 (1) since 1995: "....Not less than fourteen days nor more than sixty days in advance of any meeting, the secretary or other officers specified in the bylaws shall cause notice to be hand-delivered or sent prepaid by first-class United States mail to the mailing address of each owner or to any other mailing address designated in writing by the owner...." This is a costly provision to follow but it's required by law, and as an organization we should be making space out of our $200,000+/year budget to do this. Plus it would keep the HOA on people's radars and result in more owner participation."

Now, that being said, it would still probably be a good idea for the association to give owners reminders of the board's meeting schedule when dues go out anyway.

Thank you for your responses. Now that I know what their purpose is it makes sense.

Welcome to the Timberlane Interactive Website:: Website for our HOA

I got to see and hear a bit about our future official website, the crew working on this did a fabulous job. I hope that the board will not delay in getting it up and running by voting on it at the next board meeting. I encourage people to attend every meeting, workshop or committee meeting available. Accountability is important.

I'd also like to propose that people with childcare issues work together, I know I am willing on nice days to bring my older daughter and maybe some other people with older children could bring them to supervise children on the playground.

I agree with G.A. The way Cindy and Nancy are acting is really suspicious and I'd like an independent CPA to actually look at what's going on.

Cutest brown teddy bear looking Pom I've seen. Chased it's owner til it gave up and then being scared ran back and forth across the road. Caught it and took it to the Covington Vet Hospital. It was not injured.
