most valuable asset, the people who make up the community itself, all assets are maintained

What is the Highland Pointe Recreation Association?
Highland Pointe Recreation Association is a non-profit organization
made up Highland Pointe residents.
Who is eligible to be a member of the association?
Membership is only available to residents of Highland Pointe.
What levels of membership are available?
There are two levels of membership, Homeowner and Recreation. In turn,
there are two types of Homeowner membership, Permanent and Voluntary.
What is meant by Permanent Homeowner membership?
Property owners associated with Permanent Homeowner membership are
bound by their covenants to renew their Homeowner membership annually. Because covenants are
associated with the property itself, subsequent owners of the property automatically become
Permanent Homeowner members.
What is meant by Voluntary Homeowner membership?
All property owners other than Permanent Homeowner members are
considered Voluntary members. Voluntary members choose to renew their membership each year.
What are the benefits of Permanent Homeowner membership?
In addition to their obvious commitment to the support of our
community, Permanent Homeowner members are eligible to serve on the Board of Directors and
vote in Association matters. They also receive a substantial discount on Recreation
membership.
What are Homeowner membership dues used for?
Homeowner membership dues cover the upkeep cost of the entrances,
dams, walkways and trails.
What are the benefits of becoming a Recreation Member?
Recreation membership entitles members of the household to use
the children’s playground, pool, tennis courts, basketball court, exercise facility, sauna
and steam room. Only Recreation members are allowed to rent the upper level of the clubhouse
for receptions, parties and other events.
What does it cost to become a member?
Homeowner Membership dues are $144 per year. Recreation Membership includes Homeowner membership.
Together, the total cost is $667 per year for Voluntary members and $567 for Permanent
members.
What is the HPRA Board of Directors?
The Board of Directors is a group of nine volunteers who commit to a
two years term, devoting their “free” time for our community. The board meets every month,
usually at the clubhouse. Residents are welcome to attend and bring up community related
issues for discussion.
Board member elections are held in November of each year.
Approximately half the board positions are elected each time, so there are always experienced
board members remaining with each “new class.”
What are the Annual Meetings?
Two
annual meetings are held each year at our clubhouse, one in April and one in November.
The April meeting is used to present the annual operating and capital budget for the coming year. At the November meeting board elections are held, as well as presentation of other matters of general membership concerns.
