The Annual Meeting was held on Saturday February 23, 2019 at 10:00 AM.
Approximately 100 members attended either in person or by proxy. HOA President, Demetria Terrell gave a presentation reviewing the accomplishments made during 2018. Most notable, the renovations to the inside of the clubhouse, painting of the ceiling and new gutters placed along the outside of the clubhouse to prevent water from intruding into the clubhouse.
Chuck Barker presented the operating report for 2018 along with the budget for 2019. Chuck reported that the operating income of approx $5,000 was above budget and was primarily the result of the ability to reduce bad debt reserve further from the previous year. Additionally Chuck compared the balance sheet at December 31, 2018 to the first balance sheet prepared by BFMC when they took over back in 2005.
There was one position vacant on the Board which was a result of Jay Edwards resignation a few months prior to the end of his three year term. A request was made of the members present if there was anyone who was interested in running for the Board. Two owners, Marla Bickler and Estelle Supernor were nominated for the open position. The results of the vote were that Estelle Supernor was elected as a Director effective immediately for a three year period.
Deputy City Manager Bill Crolley made a presentation to the owners concerning the new wall to be built along the North side of the property near the entrance to The Epic Water Park. A ten foot cement wall will be paid for by the City of Grand Prairie. Mr. Crolley also mentioned several additional new businesses that will be opening up in the Kirby Creek Village area within the near future.
Police officers Mike Gudgel and Gregory New made a presentation to the audience concerning the very low crime rate currently being experienced in the Kirby Creek area. The police reported that there were only one or two minor instances of any kind of criminal activity in Kirby Creek for the last twelve months. After the meeting the officers stayed and talked with owners individually about questions they had concerning speed bumps and other methods of reducing the speed along some of the roads on the North end of the property.
The Board entertained questions from owners concerning the involvement of the management company on certain aspects of the Association. Generally the questions and comments indicated satisfaction with the owners and the progress of management of the association. Chuck also presented some results concerning recent history of sales at Kirby Creek Village of homes showing a positive trend over the past two years.
Owners were asked to submit ideas for improvements by email to Angela, Association Community Manager by March 31, 2019. Please email:
