At the December meeting, the Board reviewed bids for the grounds contract and selected Advantage Landscape Services as the finalist, pending a satisfactory walk of the community. On Monday, January 18th, the Board and Grounds Committee are joining a representative of Advantage for that walk. During the walk, we will be discussing Westerley's requirements and the services they provide.

The walk begins at 11:00AM on the 18th. We'll meet up in front of the pool house. Walking all the grounds will take several hours. After the walk is finished, we'll find somewhere to sit down for a recapitulation and make sure we're all on the same page after the lengthy walk.

As this is a work session, it is open to residents. While management informs me there isn't an open session before work sessions, we'll be happy to hear limited comments from any neighbors who care to join us, as long as it remains productive.

A rain/snow date has not been selected. Cancellation and/or rescheduling will be posted to the web site and discussion list.

1. On Saturday, October 17, noon at the Tot Lot we'll be holding a special meeting of the Board of Directors, to cover the following topics: HLS and the grounds contract; a "thank you" letter and contribution to Sterling Fire for visiting us on Westerley Day; discuss a social media policy (parts of this may be held in executive session, if we need to discuss attorney-client privileged material); management contract review; and and any needed planning for the parking committee.
2. On Tuesday, October 20 at 7pm in the Dominion High School Library, we'll be holding the October regular board meeting. Before that, at 18:30, we will be holding covenants hearings (if any are requested).
3. On Thursday, October 22, also at 7p in the Dominion High School Library, we'll be holding the first Parking Committee meeting. We will be discussing the newly-approved parking policy in detail and planning how the committee will operate. There may also be a short board meeting solely to formally charter and appoint the Parking Committee.
4. (new) On Saturday, October 24, at 12pm in the Dominion High School Library, we'll be holding a continuation of the meeting on Tuesday, as we didn't finish the agenda.

As with all Westerley board and committee meetings, these meetings are open to members of the association and an open forum (comment period) will be held near the start of the meeting. At the regular meeting, comments may be on any matter related to the HOA; at the two other meetings, comments should be germane to the subjects to be discussed at those meetings.
