Our 2025 Annual Meadowlark HOA meeting was held at Grace Pointe Church last night and it was a very rewarding evening. Forty-nine people were present and between homeowners in attendance and proxies, we had a total of 65 eligible voters, exceeding our quorum.

For the first time we had all sign-in sheets and handouts in the Lobby of the Church. We also had attendees check in first with our KMC CAM, Aubrianna Strickland, to enter them into our software app. Once the Meeting room was ready, residents who had checked in came up to the room. This process seemed to give easier access to the sign-in sheets and handouts and eliminate the congestion in the 3rd floor hallway.

The meeting was called to order at 6:44 p.m., after establishing our Quorum. After discussing the various projects accomplished this past year, it was a pleasure to tell our homeowners about this next project. When the Board received comments about tree limbs overhanging sidewalks, making it difficult to walk in some places, we asked Kelly Landscaping to check all streets for a list of homeowners who would need to cut back their tree limbs and the associated costs. Pat Kelly sent us a list of 21 homes and then advised they would take care of the trimming over the next couple of weeks at NO COST to the HOA or homeowners as a gesture of their appreciation of our partnership. This is just one of several things Pat Kelly and crew have done for us in the past year at no cost to anyone. They are a fine company, run by honest men and we are fortunate to have them. We will send a notice to the homeowners whose trees are affected very soon. After the work is done, consider sending a thank you note or email to Pat Kelly, pkelly@kellylandscaping.com. Our Kirkpatrick CAM, Aubrianna Strickland, spoke about what KMC offers through the KMC Connect Portal and the company overall and expressed appreciation for the work our board is doing.

Highlights of the evening were the presentation of the 2025 Treasurer’s report, which reflected a deficit of only $1,231.81. The Board was pleased to present a 2026 Balanced Budget of $252,164.33 with no increase in fees and no change to the mowing/lawn and fountain/pond maintenance. The following pie charts show how the income is broken out from different sources and expenses are allocated to the various needs of the community.
