The annual meeting of the WMC took place on December 5th at the Spring City Restaurant. The current members of the WMC Board were reelected to their positions for another one year term beginning January 1st.
The other main business item was the approval of the 2017 budget which features an assessment of $130 for the 2017 fiscal year. The increase, the first in three years, was due largely to increased expenses maintaining our 5 acres of woods. During the past year we had numerous trees fall, some onto private property and others over the sidewalk and into the street along Rolling Ridge Drive. As we continue to battle Dutch elm disease and the emerald ash borer, we expect the cost of tree removals to be one of our biggest fiscal issues as a homeowners association.
The invoices and meeting minutes will arrive in the mail around January 1 with a due date for the assessment payment January 31st, 2017.
