 You are encouraged to attend the meeting to elect the association’s board of directors for the year 2008.

 Membership in the Bradford Farms Homeowner’s Association consists of all property owners in the five neighborhoods of Bradford Farms Subdivision. In order for the association to function properly, it is necessary for all property owners to become involved. It is important that everyone participates in the actual operations of the association and abides by the association’s By-Laws, Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions.

 The Homeowner’s Association Board of Directors has four (4) vacancies to be filled for 2008.  The current Board is soliciting community members to volunteer for the Board of Directors and committees. To assist you in choosing an area of involvement, some of the responsibilities of the Board and each committee are provided below.

Board of Directors – The Board is comprised of members of the Association elected by the membership at the annual general membership meeting. Each director serves on the Board for two years. In accordance with the By-Laws, the Board must meet four times each year, at least once each quarter. The usual schedule for Board meetings is one regular meeting each month. Duties of the Board include:

    • · Create a budget
    • · Authorize expenditures
    • · Supervise committees
    • · Participate on committees
    • · Attempt to resolve members’ complaints
  • Architectural Control CommitteeWe need a new chairperson for this Committee. The committee is appointed by the Board to insure the community maintains a pleasant appearance and that buildings and additions do not detract from surrounding areas. The Architectural Control Committee has exclusive jurisdiction over modifications, additions and alterations made on or to existing Lots or structures. The committee also promulgates detailed standards and procedures governing its areas of responsibility and practices.

Landscape & maintenance CommitteeWe have a Chairperson, but need more volunteers. The committee is appointed by the Board to maintain all of the common property owned by the Association. Common areas include the area around the ponds, front entrance and main drive. The committee’s most significant function is selecting and supervising the landscape contractor. Other duties include conducting “Community Pride” days during the year.

Welcome Committee - We have a Chairperson, but need more volunteers. The committee is appointed by the Board to identify houses for sale or rent and insure that new occupants are welcomed to the community. The committee also insures that the realtor involved with the house is aware of the restrictive covenants with mandatory membership in the Homeowner’s Association that includes a yearly fee.

 To nominate an association member for the Board of Directors or for a committee, please complete the nomination form and return it to Paul Hurst.

 Each homeowner will receive a proxy for the election. The proxy provides you with an opportunity to vote without being present at the general membership meeting. You may complete the proxy and return it to Paul Hurst, P. O. Box 151, Madison, AL 35758 prior to the meeting of Jan 22, 2008. 

 Thank you for your efforts in maintaining Bradford Farms as great place to live. Hope to see you at the general membership meeting.
