September 7, 2026
We have a board.
Neighbors filled the room on Labor Day evening and elected a Board of Directors, and the board designated its officers the same night. It was the association’s first contested election on record, and the turnout was the whole story.
Thank you to everyone who showed up.

This site is now the board’s. It exists to publish what we’re doing with your dues: meeting minutes, an annual budget, and an open call for neighbors who want a hand in how this place is run.

An election every year. A budget you can read. Competitive bids on every big job.

Your Board

Elected by the members on September 7, 2026. Officers were designated by the board immediately afterward, as Art. IV §8 provides.

Several more neighbors volunteered and were elected to the board that night. The full roster will be published here with the signed minutes.

Lend a Hand

There are a few jobs that make this neighborhood run, and they don’t take much time. If you’d like a hand in one, say so — no experience needed for any of them.

Requests to change or add a structure on a lot go to the Board directly, as the Declaration provides when there’s no separate committee. We have 60 days to answer any request, and we intend to answer a lot faster than that.

How We Got Here

This site started in July 2026 as one owner’s effort to get an annual meeting called. In response to a formal records request, the association confirmed in writing on July 8, 2026 that no meeting minutes existed for the prior two years, that no budget existed in recent history, and that the board consisted of one person. The last election anyone has a record of was January 2013.

Those source documents stay posted below, because the standard we’re holding ourselves to is the one their absence made obvious: meet every year, write it down, publish the budget, and take bids. That record is the reason this board exists, and it’s how you should measure us.

Records & Source Documents

The association’s own financial records and the public county and state filings, kept here so any owner can read them without making a request or paying a fee. More will be added as the transition completes.

Common Questions

What actually changed on September 7?

The members elected a Board of Directors, and that board designated a president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, and a maintenance chair. Before that night the board was one person who did not live here. Decisions now take a vote of several neighbors who do.

What do my dues actually pay for?

Less than most people assume, and this came up repeatedly at the meeting. The association is responsible for the street lights in the development (rented from OEC), the water for the sprinklers at the front entrance, the front fence along 119th Street, mowing along 119th and the Crystal Gardens median, and clearing the drainage channel. The streets are public and belong to Oklahoma City. Fences around individual lots are the owner’s. Publishing a real budget is how you’ll see the rest.

Are dues going up?

There is no plan to raise them. Under Art. V §2 a board can raise dues by at most 10% in a year on its own; anything larger requires a member vote.

How do I get involved?

Join one of the two groups listed above — grounds or neighborhood. Neither takes much time. If you’d rather just watch, come to the meetings — they’re yours.

When is the next meeting?

The board meets by video within the week, and the date will be posted here and emailed. From now on there is an annual members’ meeting every year, which is what the bylaws required all along.

Where can I see the money?

The association’s financial statements are posted under Records below. A written annual budget is one of the board’s first tasks, and it will be published on this page when it’s adopted.

What if I disagree with something the board does?

Say so, at a meeting or to any officer. Directors are elected by the members and can be removed by a two-thirds vote. There’s an election every year, and you get to grade us at each one.

Announcements

September 9, 2026

Minutes are posted. The signed minutes from the September 7 annual meeting are now under Records, along with the board’s organizational meeting held right after it. This is the first set of minutes the association has published, and from here they go up after every meeting. If something in them doesn’t match what you remember, tell us and we’ll look at it.

September 8, 2026

A board was elected. Owners filled the room at the annual meeting on September 7 at the Courtyard by Marriott in Bricktown. The members elected a Board of Directors, and the board designated officers immediately afterward: Greg Banks, president; Allison Rubio, vice president; Teresa Evans, treasurer; Jared Cook, secretary; and Rob Wiesner as maintenance chair. Signed minutes will be posted here. The outgoing manager has committed to an orderly transition of records and accounts over roughly thirty days. Committee seats are open now — see above.

August 10, 2026

The annual meeting is scheduled. After our certified demand, the HOA has noticed an Annual Owner Meeting and board election for Monday, September 7 (Labor Day), 6:00 PM, at the Courtyard by Marriott in Bricktown (2 W Reno Ave). The agenda includes electing the HOA Board of Directors, the first election any owner has been invited to on record. Details on how to vote in person or by proxy are at the top of this page. If you did not receive the meeting notice by regular mail, please let us know; the bylaws require mailed notice to every owner (Art. III §6).

July 16, 2026

A formal demand for an annual meeting has been delivered to the HOA by certified mail. We have given the board 30 days to schedule it. Under 18 O.S. §1060(D), when no annual meeting has been held as the bylaws require, any member can ask the district court to summarily order an election, and we are prepared to do that. Letters and proxy forms have now reached every owner-occupied home in the neighborhood. Two things help most: sign your proxy so your vote counts even if you can't attend, and if you'd consider serving on a new board (we need just a few, no experience required), reach out here.

We added a full text version of our bylaws to the site. Every article and section is readable without downloading the PDF. If you click any of the bylaw references on this page, it will take you straight to that section and highlight it so you can read it in context.
