Newsletter February 2020

Quail Hollow neighbors and property owners,

A quick update on the neighborhood:

  • The officers for 2020 are President Lisa Vezzosi, Secretary Jennifer Blankenship, and Treasurer Roger Day.  The Board members are Rod Whitehead, Mark Garland, Meredith Trott, and Brent Morrow.
  • Clubhouse lighting – we’ve replaced most of the lighting with LED bulbs, which should reduce our electric bill.  But still, when you use the clubhouse, please be sure to turn out all the lights!
  • Clubhouse HVAC – we installed a programmable thermostat.  Adjust the temperature with the UP and DOWN buttons only – don’t use the RUN, HOLD and SET buttons!  When you leave, please be sure to adjust it back to where you found it, but, in case you forget, after a few hours the temperature will automatically return to its pre-set value.
  • Clubhouse security lights – we’ve installed powerful new low-profile motion-sensitive security lights.  The small size should discourage bird’s nests.  If that doesn’t work we’ll install housings which will make it impossible for them to nest.
  • Clubhouse repairs – An inspector will go over the building this Friday and should have a report for us next week on needed repairs.  We anticipate that we’ll need major work on the plumbing and gutters, and it’s possible that there will be expensive repairs on the foundation.  Stay tuned.
  • The pond – Chris Holyfield has started work on the dredging, but the rain isn’t helping.  It will take at least 3 months to finish, probably more, depending on the weather.  We’ll just have to be patient, and pray for a return to normal (or even slightly below normal) rainfall.
  • Potholes – most everyone is aware of the potholes in front of Kenny Gouge’s house on Quail Hollow Drive.  There isn’t much we can do until the weather improves, but Don Hlavaty and I are going to attempt a temporary patch if we can get a few dry days.  In the meantime, please drive even more carefully than usual.  We’ll fix them as soon as we can.
  • The pool – Our pool serviceman of many, many years, Jack Jordan, has retired.  We’re looking for a replacement and would appreciate your suggestions and recommendations.
  • No Soliciting – You’ll notice a “No Soliciting Without Prior Approval” sign going up in a few days.  The Board asked me to assure you that this is NOT aimed at local school, church or youth groups, but at the scam artists who occasionally show up in the neighborhood.  If someone suspicious comes to your door, demand to know if they have Board approval, and if you’re not satisfied with the answer, call 911 (not me – there isn’t a thing I can do).  Local groups should just consider themselves pre-approved, (the EHS Band had better come by next fall and sell me oranges and grapefruit!)
  • 2020 garbage pickup – the city’s annual schedule is available on the Important Documents page
  • FYI, please make your dues checks payable to QHPOA or Quail Hollow Property Owners Association.

If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, don’t hesitate to contact me.
