Post Oak Forest HOA board meeting was held September 20, 2026, at 26 Forest Dr. Meeting was called to order at 7:10 PM.
Attendees were Don Lipkin, Rhonda Watson, Kenneth Johse, Kathi Light, Stacy Light, Tom Light, Ginny Light (virtual).
August meeting minutes were read and approved as posted.
- TREASURER: Kenneth reported that finances are in good order. Reports were reviewed, including projections through year-end. As it stands right now with projections through the end of the year, we are showing a budget surplus in excess of $10,000 for 2026. There is one homeowner who is delinquent in paying dues and they have not responded to e-mails. Kenneth will call them.
- ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE: Ginny reported that no ACC requests have been submitted recently. The Board discussed the importance of residents filling out the ACC form and going through the proper channels to get approvals. This includes review and approval from the ACC committee, followed by approval by the Board members.
- GROUNDS: Tom reported that Antonio (landscape crew) would like a 3-5% increase next year to keep his workers. He stated that it is very difficult to get workers. The Board agreed to increase monthly landscape maintenance payments to Antonio by 5% for next year. The increase is approximately $120/mo. Tom will let Antonio know.
Tom reported on the potential drainage project behind #10 – 15. We have two bids from drainage contractors. We are considering hiring an engineer to assess the issues. Next steps are to reach out to some civil engineers for an assessment and talk to both contractors with Board members at next Board meeting via Zoom or at some later date.
- Pool Committee: Stacy gave Kim Tolman’s report. The county inspector came out and reported that the emergency phone needs checking, gate needs to be repaired so it self-closes, the drain cover needs to be updated, and the chlorine can’t be put in skimmers or a floating dispenser in a “commercial” pool. Tom said that the automatic chlorinator located in the pump room may not be working. Rhonda agreed to communicate Kim’s pool report at Board meetings in the future and relay comments back to Kim.
- Old Business: Don brought up the discussion that we reduce the number of board members due to the small number of homes not warranting this many board members and difficulty in getting nine members year after year. It was moved that we reduce the number of board members to seven, with a quorum of four – Cherie made the motion and Kathi seconded. The motion was approved. This change will have to be voted on by the residents with a 2/3rds affirmative.
- NEW BUSINESS: Stacy and Don discussed the fact that there may be minor exceptions to carport rules that are acceptable to the Board and residents. We discussed adding that “exceptions may be made with approval of the HOA Board” to the General Rules paragraph regarding driveways and carports. Cherie made the motion and Kathi seconded. The motion was approved. This change will have to be voted on by the residents with a 2/3rds affirmative.
Cherie asked if the drive in front of #32-34 should be the responsibility of the HOA (like a road) or the three homeowners there. She mentioned that trucks turn around there like it is a road and the drive is getting damaged. It was tabled for more research and discussion.
Next Board meeting – Oct 18
Meeting was adjourned at 8:47 PM.
