Accomplishments & Goal Updates

Below are the updates from our 2023 Goals:

1. Continue to Support the Neighborhood Watch Program and Other Endeavors in an effort to Increase HOA Paying Membership

   • We successfully installed both cameras at both entrances of the neighborhood

2. Update our covenants

   • While this endeavor is meaningful, we, as a Board, find ourselves lacking in resources to successfully tackle this endeavor. We hope to consult with someone from a similar style of neighborhood HOA (i.e. mirrormont) and could use someone in the neighborhood to assist in this area if they have any expertise to offer

3. Hire a New Landscaping Company to Maintain the Park

   • We decided to hire two neighbors to mow the park and had a cleanup party in August to clear yard debris as a result of researching local companies and being denied service based on size of plot and/or cost of the work.  We have been pleasantly surprised that having a local neighbor take on the mowing project currently fits our needs at the park

4. Continue Hosting Social Events

   • This year, the board hosted the following events

     • Waybacks Concert – July 30th

     • National Night Out, Movie in the Park – August 1

     • Park Cleanup Yard Work Party – August 12

     • Annual Picnic – September 17th

     • Halloween Event – October 31st

     • Holiday Party, sponsoring the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank – December 17th

     • Easter Egg Hunt- March 30th

2024 Goals

1. Update our Bylaws and Name

   • We hope to change our name to Overdale Community Association to better reflect our involvement and purpose in Overdale Park. We are not a traditional HOA. The name Overdale Community Association will more easily reflect our goals of park maintenance, city and community involvement, provide a forum for neighborhood discussion and to plan and sponsor Overdale Park community events

2. Continue Hosting Social Events

   • We plan to continue hosting similar events as the previous year

   • The park cleanup event will be held on or around July 13th

   • The Annual Picnic will most likely be held on September 8th

3. Research Mailbox Hut Maintenance

   • We spoke with two different neighbors about doing an upkeep project to structurally fix some mailbox huts and to paint all of them

   • The first quote came back at $18K

   • The board will discuss if this is a good use of funds and look for other quotes

4. Increase Membership

   • We hope to gain more paying members. What do you, as a member, think would encourage non paying neighbors to become a paying member of the HOA? (i.e. mailboxes, play structure, etc) We have added this question to the voting submission document.
