Q: Why isn't there more information about rules, the HOA, and other community matters on the Hickory Pointe Facebook page?
A: Due to the current bylaws, the Board is not allowed to communicate electronically. We do post information as a matter of convenience, but the new bylaws would allow more electronic sharing of information. However, if you do have a question or concern in regards to our community, please read meeting minutes and/or contact our management company or the HOA Board (see above for contact info.)
Q: Why do we need a Property Management Company? Let’s do away with it and lower our dues!
A: If we do not have a Property Management company, then all the work would fall to the Board. The Board is not a working Board, they are Volunteers who receive no compensation (and are not allowed to receive any per our bylaws) who have jobs, families and other life aspects they juggle.
