Kingsfield News LAST NEWSLETTER DISTRIBUTED - The May issue of the Kingsfield newsletter, which was distributed to homes on May 14 along with the Minutes of the April 10 HOA meeting, was the last printed newsletter. Therefore, this website will be the only medium to include information about Kingsfield, including important and sometimes urgent community announcements. Both the Minutes and the newsletter can be read on an inside page of this website by clicking the buttons in the left column or the words in blue above. UPCOMING ACTIVITIES - The next Mens Group breakfast is Saturday, May 19. The next golf outing is Thursday, May 17. Click here for information about those and other Kingsfield activities. All residents are encouraged to participate.
LANDSCAPING CHALLENGES - Thursday is the Kingsfield target date for lawn care which includes grass cutting, weather permitting. The grass was cut, as scheduled, on Thursday, April 3. The meadow is scheduled to be cut prior to May 15. This has been a very challenging Spring for Landscapers taking care of communities such as Kingsfield. For Tim Kovitch, our Landscaper, this is the first year in his 30 years of professional experience that he was cleaning up properties and mulching at the same time as trying to cut the early growing grass. TWO RESOLUTIONS FAIL TO PASS AT HOA MEETING - Two proposed resolutions failed to get approval of the required two-thirds of Kingsfield's 66 homeowners at the April 10 Annual Meeting of the Kingsfield Community Association. A resolution to allow homeowners to do landscaping tasks in the common ground around their homes received only 23 votes, and a resolution to increase the spending authority of the Board of Directors to $10,000 per project failed to get the required 34 votes. Details about the meeting will be included in Minutes of the meeting to be distributed to all residents. Click here to read the Minutes of the meeting and a report by the Management Committee. WEBSITE CHANGES - An E-mail was sent on May 3 to homeowners to announce two secure inside pages of this website, the Directory of Homeowners and HOA Reports. Both of those pages require an ID and Password that was mentioned in the E-mail. If you didn't receive that E-mail, contact webmaster@kingsfieldhoa.org.
