MASTER PLANNING COMMITTEE

The monthly Master Planning Committee meeting was held on January 12, 2015. In 2014, the Committee made revisions to the Master Plan which will be finalized and recommended to the Board. The Committee is also working on a benchmarking report that will include several comparisons to similar communities. The Committee is looking forward to working with the Board to establish specific goals for the Master Planning Committee in 2015.

FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING

The monthly Finance Committee meeting was held on January 16, 2015. The Committee reviewed and discussed the December financials that Controller, Faye Stone, provided. It was reported that the Reserve Study will be finalized and available for the Committee within the week. The committee decided to wait until the new Chair of the Finance Committee is determined before making further Committee restructuring decisions.

SECOND ANNUAL SATISFACTION SURVEY                                       

Last Saturday you should have received the satisfaction survey.

This survey is similar to a report card in that it uses your input regarding the progress of Management and the Board toward attaining the goals in the Master Plan. Your opinions are appreciated and valued. The results of the survey will be used by Management, Board, and committees to adapt goals

If you have neighbors and friends who do not have computer access, please encourage them to complete paper copies of the survey that can be found at the Ironwood and Oakwood Clubhouses. You may also download a copy of the survey from the IronOaks website and give it to them. Because this survey is being conducted by a few volunteer homeowners at no cost to the HOA, we ask only those without computer access complete the paper surveys.

If you have questions or concerns about the online survey, please submit a comment card so we can assist you.

The survey will conclude at 4:00 p.m. on February 11, 2015

Are you killing your plants with kindness?                         

Something is not right. Your plants look sickly, yellow, droopy and pathetic. All of these symptoms do not necessarily mean that you need to water. The number one cause of plant failure is too much water.

Healthy roots are the foundation of healthy plants. They not only need water, they need oxygen. Over watering displaces the oxygen in the soil and the tiny root hairs that take in water get crushed and rot. The soil will be damp, but the plant will be wilted.

How do you know whether your plants need more or less water? For indoor or outdoor potted plants, simply feel the soil. Most plants like to go dry to the touch before watering again.  If there is any moisture to the touch, wait a few days before watering. Caution! Do not use water that has been softened with salt to water any plants. When it is time to water, use a method called "soak and cycle." Wet the soil with enough water to cover the top layer of soil. If a plant is very dry, the water will just run off the surface, down the sides of the pot, and out the bottom, never getting to the roots. Add just enough water to allow it to soak in. Wait at least 15 minutes or more for the water to soak in, then add the last amount of water. Any water sitting in the saucer after 30 minutes should be discarded.
