Common Grounds
- Moon Rock Court ticket—will go by Monday to check out the spot; will see if the new grounds company will handle it
- Growth between neighborhoods has been taken care of
- Waiting for tree branch over Whetstone and the park—will be taken care of shortly
- Professional Grounds did take care of the trash; got a tip to consider trash cans with lids to keep rain out
- Approved estimate for wooded path—suggested start time was after first spring growth; neighbor plans to build steps in trail to mitigate muddy spots
- Sign for trail—looking into it, nicer ones trend towards 1k; will send options to group so we can vote next month—same for park one

Mulch Pile Ticket
- Progress is being made on pile, but it’s not gone yet
Trash in Woods
- Kristina called non-emergency number, trash is gone now
- Keep an eye out for dumping in the woods
Yard Sale
- Sign will be put up week prior; remind them when time gets closer
- Angela will post upcoming events to FB
Block Party
- Rita’s table—just Icees; $75 deposit, require $175 in sales
- Taco truck—no deposit, require $500 in sales
- Angela will do the flyer again; calendar/important dates on this year’s
Vantage Villager
- Draft for newsletter is finished and will be sent out tonight
- Angela needs to confirm what needs uploading with Erica King
- Send any FB graphics to Eric so he can include them in the email blasts; create some kind of cadence for the comms about events (i.e., two notices about block party leading up to event)
- Next issue and on FB: Open a ticket if you have a grievance (HOA has contact form for many topics, submit a ticket if you have a question) or seek appropriate resources through the county; provide links for some services—also add something on the website; Eric will write the guidance and Angela can provide a graphic
Dog Barking Complaint
- Someone in the neighborhood received a letter about excessive dog barking; the letter also contained a threat about the barking unless it was remedied
- The board would like it on record that they agree the complaint may have merit, but do not approve of the way in which the situation was handled
- Options are to reach out to the complainant to let them know about their options; do the same for the person who opened the ticket
Bike Lane Saga
- Some of the formerly removed bike lane is replaced but not all; Sonata will keep following up on it with VDOT
Slanting Street Sign at Vantage and Rolling Stone
- Repair should be done within 30 working days; Eric submitted the issue early March
