OPEN BOARD MEETINGS
The Board of Directors of Briargrove Park Property Owners, Inc. meets on the second Tuesday of each month at the Briargrove Park Clubhouse at 2301 Seagler Road. The Board's meetings are open to all property owners and residents. All property owners and residents are encouraged to attend. Board meeting agenda will posted in BGP Office window on the Friday prior to the meeting.
Property owners or residents who wish to address the Board on any issue concerning the maintenance and operation of the facilities owned by the Association or on any other matter within the board's jurisdiction may do so pursuant to this policy.
Any property owner or resident desiring to address the Board must contact the Office Manager by 12:00 p.m. on the Thursday before the meeting at which the property owner or resident wishes to speak. The property owner or resident must give the Office Manager his/her name, address, phone number and the topic upon which he/she wishes to address the Board. Each property owner or resident desiring to speak shall have a maximum of five minutes, not including responses to questions from Board Members, in which to address the Board. The Board has the right to limit speakers to less than five minutes when such speakers are merely cumulative or repetitive of other speakers.
While the Board's meetings are open to the property owners and residents, the Board reserves the right to discuss certain matters in executive session, regardless of whether an executive session is listed on the Board's agenda. The Board may discuss matters of a confidential nature in executive session including without limitation, deed restriction violations, legal matters and personnel matters. The Board shall have the discretion to determine when a matter shall be discussed in executive session.
The Board may suspend the rules to hear from any property owner or resident who is in attendance at a meeting and who desires to speak but has not signed up to speak by the 12 p.m. Thursday deadline. In suspending the rules, the Board may also set a time limit for any speaker.
From time to time the Board may call special meetings to discuss various matters that need immediate action. The meetings generally involve legal matters, personnel matters or other matters of a confidential or sensitive nature and therefore will not be open to the property owners or residents. The Board may however, suspend the rules to allow property owners or residents to attend and/or speak at such meetings.
Maintenance Fee Information
The statements for the Mandatory Maintenance are mailed annually in the 4th Quarter. The current fee is $490 and is due on or before January 1. Per the Deed Restrictions, interest charges will begin to accrue in March for Briargrove Park and in January for Briar Court properties.
In June, the Association files liens against properties with delinquent maintenance charges for the current year. These liens cloud the title to the property, thus preventing the property from being sold. Before the Association releases the liens, the maintenance fees must be paid in full, together with interest and any legal fees that were incurred as result of the delinquencies. A $16 fee will be charged to prepare and file a lien; a $25 fee is charged to prepare the Release of Lien. Please note that BGP, Inc. does not file the Release of Lien.
House Plans
The BGP Property Owners' Association owns and maintains a repository of house plans for many of the homes in Briargrove Park. House plans on file at the BGP office may be viewed on site. Copies of the plans may be ordered with payment of a fee. The fee varies depending on the number of pages in the plan set and includes cost of sending plans off site for reproduction. Office personnel can tell you the exact fee based on your plan set.
Post Lights
Post Lights add charm and are Briargrove Park's primary form of street lighting. Required by the deed restrictions, these lights must be kept in good working order. Yearly maintenance fees cover the replacement of mantles and broken glass. Residents are encouraged to report all non-working gaslights to the subdivision office so repairs can be made. The exact address is required. Please verify that the light is not electric prior to making the report.
