This meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 15 2015 at the Broadlands Clubhouse, located at 43360 Rickenbacker Square. The doors open at 6:30 PM for the purpose of registering a quorum. The agenda begins at 7:00 PM. As part of the meeting, an election will be held to select three (3) members to three-year terms ending in May 2018.

You can change your proxy online at any time before the meeting, or you can rescind it and vote at the meeting via paper ballot.

The purpose of the meeting is to elect members to the Board of Directors, including three (3) members to serve three year terms expiring May 2018.  The Board oversees the business of Broadlands in the collection and expenditure of association funds, selection of contractors, management of facilities, and adoption of policies for the day-to-day operations.  These volunteer Board Members are a vital asset to the association.

New this year, the Board has contracted with The Inspectors of Election, LLC to act as an independent third party election service. The main reason for this addition is to provide the association’s members the option to vote via paper Proxy Ballots or vote your Proxy online via their TIEiVOTE™ voting website. The online system offers you an easy way to vote in a safe, quick and cost effective manner.

The Inspectors of Election will mail the official annual meeting notice and election package or about April 1, 2015, which will contain unique login information for each unit to access the TIEiVOTE™ voting website. Proxies should either be submitted online via the voting website or will need to be mailed, faxed, or scanned to the Inspectors of Election, LLC. Proxy forms will not be accepted at the HOA Office.

For those of you that submitted their names for candidacy in the election, we thank you for your willingness to assist in the success of your community.  Remember to mark your calendars for May 5, 2015, the Annual Meeting of Broadlands Association, Inc.

Stone House Update

The Stone House is slated for roof replacement, front porch replacement, and exterior wall stabilization in 2014. The repair work has been solicited by the Stone House Committee, approved by the Board of Directors, and will be performed by Cochran Stone Masonry & Timberframing.

Cochran is on site starting on the reconstruction of the front porch.  The deconstruction includes removing of the large shrubs in front of the building as well as the concrete flooring, roofing, footers, and columns. Once final plans are approved by the county and weather conditions permit, Cochran will begin the building process for a new front porch.

After the porch is completed, the limestone mortar injections will be done.  This work cannot be done until the threat of freeze has subsided or the mortar can be protected from freezing.  The building will receive a new metal roof, as well as trim soffits, rake and fascia boards.  The upper walls and chimneys currently being stabilized by two interior gables will be reconstructed where they are currently failing, which is on the top floor.
