The position is volunteer level, and term is for three years.  All positions on the Board are staggered from one to three years so there is overlapping experience.

A nominating committee consisting of Skybrook residents has been formed and is responsible for accepting applications and making recommendations to the Board for the position.  Through a vote, the residents will elect the HOA Board member at the February 2012 HOA meeting.

1. Trusteeship – Managing Skybrook’s overall image and assets.
2. Financial Management – Collecting and spending money in a prudent way on programs that represent Skybrook’s priorities.
3. Program Implementation – Carrying out stated goals and plans of Skybrook in concert with the residents and within the covenants, conditions and restrictions (CCRs).
   
4. Communication – Maintaining open lines between the Board and residents, verbal and written, requiring interfaces with the residents as well as interfaces with groups outside Skybrook.

The nominating committee is looking for residents who are committed to making a difference in our community.  Specifically, candidates should:

• Be available 6-10 hours/week (frequently on weekends) for HOA business.
• Be readily available for unforeseen and unscheduled business.
• Be flexible to assist in assorted HOA responsibilities.
• Have no outstanding violations of CCRs.
• Be in good standing and up to date with dues and assessments.
• Be a team player focused on the goals of Skybrook.

Involvement with community programs would be a plus.

It is expected that candidates would possess the highest integrity, diplomacy, commitment and enthusiasm.

Skybrook Nominating Committee:

The Skybrook Board of Directors would like to make everyone aware that there have been a couple of recent break-ins at Skybrook, and a car was stolen from the driveway of a house in Skybrook Phase 10. Fortunately, the car was found and returned. Please be cautious and mindful of your surroundings, keep your doors locked and personal belongings hidden from view in your vehicles, and do not hesitate to report any suspicious activity to the police.

• Due to the expanded maintenance Phase 10 homeowners received in 2010 for irrigation system repairs ⁽¹⁾, as well as additional herbicide and pesticide treatments there was a budget shortfall. The increased Phase 10 2011 HOA dues will cover the shortfall and provide for a balanced budget in 2011.

• Phase 10 quarterly HOA dues will increase 15% for 2010, from $203 quarterly to $233 quarterly, a difference of $30 per quarter or $120 for the year. The 2011 payment coupons will be mailed in February.
