ST GEORGE TOWNSHIP HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
Minutes of January 25, 2010 Meeting
President Andrew Updegraff opened the meeting by introducing Mike and Libby from Freedom Tax
Service, our new management company.
Mike and Libby explained the role of the management company in resolving covenant violations and/or other
issues. In short, the management company is a neutral go-between the board and violators of the covenants.
Several issues were raised, including parking on the street. Parking on the street is not really addressed in our
covenants. Homeowners would be in violation of county codes if they park on the sidewalk or grass.
Violations can be reported to the Cobb County police—precinct 5.
Other issues that came up were dogs running loose in the subdivision, length of grass and loud noise or music.
These are issues not in violation of the covenants, but would be handled by Codes Enforcement of Cobb
County or Animal Control in the case of the dogs.
Andrew stated that we need to try to lower the dues, but that our landscaping costs are quite high.
He suggested that we look for a cheaper landscaper. Also, we have saved money by not using the irrigation
system because of all the rainfall last year. We also have extra expense pertaining to collection of dues. One
homeowner is extremely delinquent and we will be taking the matter to court to collect what is owed.
It was decided to replace the bottom sign at the front. It has gotten bent and a larger space for notices is
needed. Reisdents may use the sign, but we require that you use dry erase markers, NOT permanent markers
and that you clean the sign afterwards.
Jennifer Krumsick, our Treasurer last year has moved out of state. Vee Brown has agreed to take the position
of Treasurer.
Respectfully submitted,
Mary Stephens
Secretary
