Herons Glen HOA 3rd Quarter Assessment fees
were due on April 1, 2024

Payments must be received by April 15th to avoid late fees and interest.

Accounts not paid by April 15th will have a late fee and interest applied to the balance. All fees applied will be due and require payment of the full amount.

Paying Your Herons Glen HOA Assessment Fees
Residents who are not on Automatic Payments should consider signing up for auto pay or set up bill pay through your bank. This is the most secure way to make assessment payments.

Remember that bill pay through your bank takes extra time to arrive so please set the payment date early to avoid late fees and interest.

Paying by mail can also take extra time for delivery but still must arrive by April 15th so please mail early to avoid the late and interest fees.

If you receive electronic statements through email and do not find that you received a statement by April 1st you are still responsible to pay the assessment fee on time. Check your spam and if still not there then send an email to bookkeeping@mbcopa.com You will need to include your name, address, and account number in the email.

Report to the Board, April 2, 2024

Meeting of March 27
Linda shared a copy of the March Herons Glen newspaper with the article explaining the differences between the HOA and the HGRD and including information on how to access the HG Governing Structures document.

Mike called attention to the HOA website link under Community Info, HG Community Governing & Oversight Chart, which does not link to the correct document. Joyce will contact the Mars to have this corrected.

Joyce also explained the need and process for requesting a log-in for the HOA website to access HOA Committee minutes and financials. This may be the subject of a future communication to residents.

The 3/25/24 draft of the article for Understanding the HGHOA Architectural Review and Grounds Committees which incorporates revisions requested by the Grounds Committee was reviewed by the group. Several revisions from ARC will be made and the newly revised document will be sent to all Committee members for comment and then shared with the ARC and Grounds Committee Chairs. This article includes information about the Approval Process Flow Chart for both committees. Linda hopes this document will be ready for publication in the May issue of the HG Newspaper.

Linda suggested that another article/bulletin topic might be what projects need ARC or Grounds Committee approval so that residents have a “list” they can refer to. Patti suggested wording in the Design & Development Guidelines that might serve as the basis. Linda will research the documents for ideas.

Joyce updated the group that the revised Annual Meeting Attendance Proxy Form will be submitted for legal review within the next couple of months. She will keep the Committee apprised of the results.

Linda will follow up with Craig Woolley, SSEP regarding emergency contact information that might be available from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. Joyce included an article in the 3/22/24 Weekly Bulletin about the HOA internal database for residents to note emergency contact information and how to update information. This might be appropriate for a short newspaper article. The Committee also suggested that Joyce periodically include this information in the Weekly Bulletin.

Joyce spoke about the new HOA text messaging system that is replacing HGGems. It is more user friendly and has better functionality. The rollout will continue.

Linda asked if any other HOA Committees should receive outreach from our committee. There does not appear to be a need from the Finance Committee. Mary asked about the Compliance Committee and its role in general and in conjunction with the ARC and Grounds Committee. Patti suggested that a future article about the Compliance Committee with an emphasis on how it provides homeowner protection (a positive perspective) might be in order.

At Linda’s request, Chris will ask the Board to approve the addition of a category for the HG Newspaper (separate from the Communications Committee category) on the online HOA Volunteer Form to prevent confusion between residents wishing to volunteer for the newspaper v. those volunteering for the Communications Committee.

The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, at 1:00 pm in the HOA

Respectfully submitted,
Linda Lynch, Chair

April 2024

It is April in Herons Glen which means we will be saying goodbye to our Canadian friends and other “snowbirds” for the summer. It also means there is a lot of activity within Herons Glen. The Activities Committee will be holding the “Bark Extravaganza” on April 14th from 1:00 to 4:00 pm in the parking lot outside the Ballroom. Join us for a dog fashion show, glamor shots, and raffle for a pet portrait. The LCSO Ice Cream truck will be there along with other vendors and exhibits.

We recently had an emergency requiring a resident to be life flighted by helicopter. When we have an emergency, we need the cooperation of residents so we do not impede the first responders or possibly threaten the safety of the victim. Fortunately, we have CERT members in our community who are trained to assist first responders, so please follow their instructions.

I would also like to share with the community some of the history regarding the Farmer’s Market that sets up the Clubhouse Parking Lot each Thursday. This Farmer’s Market used to be set up at Magnolia Landing, but that community did not adequately support it, so it moved here and saw greater support. We don’t want to lose our Farmer’s Market due to lack of support, so please keep them in mind as you do your grocery shopping.
