Our next Community Meeting will be held at 7pm on October 6th at the Elks Lodge. A recent mailing was sent to all HOA members detailing the need for a dues increase (effective January 1st, 2026). Current dues are set at $325 and will increase to $450 per year. The Clearbrooke HOA has not had a dues increase since 2011. All association expenses have increased during the past 15 years. Those increases have eroded our ability to maintain our roadways while also stressing our Operational Budgetary spending. While the possibility for increases has always been addressed at meetings in the past, the cost of recent roadwork highlighted the need to increase our budget going forward. The new budget should allow us to keep a proper paving schedule and keep our dues at a reasonable level for many years to come.
Elections for the Board of Directors will also be conducted at the October meeting. There are five positions open. Only President McDermott and Vice President Anderson have decided to seek reelection, while Treasurer Odom will not be seeking reelection. The recent mailer contained instructions and a form for anyone seeking to be elected for one of the seats.
