BOARD NEWS

The Board of Directors  held the Towne Point Annual Meeting on Monday, September 14, 2026.

During the Public Comment period, some members had questions about the situation with preteen and teenage boys on skateboards and e-bikes racing around the Towne Point streets in a reckless manner.  
There have been many complaints and this is occurring at other subdivisions.  Some of these kids do not live in Towne Point.  The police are aware of the problem and they said they know the names of some of these kids and where they live.  The police said if you see this occurring, call the non-emergency number (360) 344-9779.  If there is an officer available they will come over.  They also said they would patrol the streets more often.

Installing a Security camera in the playground area is also being considered.  There has been some vandalism and misbehavior by some of the same kids.

The Treasurer reported on the financial status giving updates on bank balances, reserve spending and budget vs actual income  year-to-date and also compared to the Annual Budget. It was reported that the expenses are inline with the budget but the income is lagging behind expectations. There are several late payers and the concern is while the expenses are as expected, if the income falls short, the reserve goals for this year may not be met.

Late payers are subject to late fees and if their accounts are more than two quarters in arrears as of December 31, 2026, they will be subject to collections by an attorney.

Judy reported that all vehicles in storage have been identified.  It is recommended that the upper portion of the lot be reserved for the large, heavier RVs and smaller vehicles, boats and trailers be parked on the lower portions.  All vehicles in storage must register with the office or risk being towed at the owners expense.

The Board election ballots were counted and as expected all four directors were re-elected.

The speed bumbs have been painted.  Agate Paving will be painting the stripes at the clubhouse and also will paint a designated walkway on the west side of the Towne Point egress.

It was reported that unused items have been removed from the clubhouse and it is being propsosed that a false wall be build on the north wall to hide from view the tables and chairs. An example of how that would look was installed by Christopher Overman to mixed reviews. The Board will take this idea under consideration.

Gary Arbuckle volunteered to create and chair a safety committee to include fire and health safety. He recommended that when installing fences, metal fences be considered to lower the fire hazard.  Bill recommended he team up with Christopher. It was noted that several residents have firewood stacked up against their homes.  It is recommended that they move those wood piles at least five feet from a hoome.  The Emergency Preparedness lectures and committee organized by Christopher Overman emphasized the increasing risk of fire due to drought, dry vegetation,  climate change and closeness of the homes in Towne Point.  

A member suggested that there be plants or shrubs planted along the Discovery Road right-of-way.  Currently it is being maintained by line trimming, pruning, raking and weeding.
A shout out was made to Bob and Donna Snow and Sue Wisner for planting some Russian sage at the corner garden plot to fill in that empty space.

The Board is currently seeking someone for the Secretary position to take minutes at the in person meetings and possibly at the ZOOM minutes also.  There is a stipend of $50 per month. If interested, contact the office or a Board member.

The full minutes can be requested or read online.
