Welcome from the Board of Directors
The Silver Firs II Board of Directors helps in
the establishment of policies and operations of committees. It provides a
framework to clarified roles and responsibilities of committees, develop
volunteerism and committee participation and provide assistance to chair and
members of committees.
Various committees manage specific areas of
activity for Association members. Committees are made up of volunteer homeowners
who serve as chairpersons and members. Committees are organized into Groups so
several committees with interrelated functions can cooperate between themselves.
The Board of Directors oversees the functioning of the committees. Committees
hold meetings on a monthly basis or as needed and petition the board for needed
funds.
Our main focus has been on forming committees
that do the majority of the work. Once a committee has investigated issues, it
forms an opinion and makes a recommendation to the Board for a decision. This
makes it easier for the Board members to focus on making the decisions since the
committees do the research. More information on the
Committee Organization
can be found in the Neighborhood Rules & Guidelines.
Our community is highly dependent upon
homeowner involvement. We encourage everyone to participate by reading minutes,
perusing the website, and attending Committee meetings to provide invaluable
input. All members are strongly urged to attend the annual meeting and
participate in all voting in person or by proxy.
Volunteerism is the primary method for reducing
costs. The association is always looking for homeowners who are willing to
devote their time in sharing their particular skills or interests. The
committees need volunteers to help with matters such as the communications of
the association, the operations and landscaping of the community, any rules
enforcement, and finance/budget work. The association frequently holds annual
common area clean-ups, landscaping projects, and other community activities to
improve our neighborhood. Information about
volunteering can be obtained
from a board member or committee director, the property manager, or at any
meeting.
Prosperous communities require hard work and
dedicated individuals. The Association would like to recognize all volunteers as
the most important element in the determination of its success.
Our volunteers and assessments maintain 86.6
acres of common area. This includes miles of fencing and trails, acres of
tree-covered greenbelts and roadside grass to be mowed, eight entrance areas
including entry monuments, irrigation, and lighting, dozens of mailbox hutches,
a soccer field and parking area, two tennis courts, four sport courts, and eight
tot-lots. We also maintain all signs, benches, and picnic tables throughout the
community.
Finally, the Board would like to reiterate that
the Associations’ focus and goals are for the good of the community and to
enhance property values. We strive to support neighborhood pride, caring, and
harmony. We encourage all residents to care and be considerate for others and
the community.
The Board has adopted the Rights and
Responsibilities for Better Communities document as recommended and promoted by
the CAI (Community Associations Institute).
