Hills News: Giving Residents a Voice Beyond the Boardroom

By -
In every community, there exists a delicate balance between governance and grassroots action. Here in our neighborhood, that balance has sometimes felt out of reach. Too often, during board meetings—particularly under the Good and Welfare agenda—residents find themselves interrupted, dismissed, or accused of being off-topic. Important concerns go unanswered, and meaningful discussions stall before they even begin. That’s why Hills News exists. This blog is more than just a space for updates—it's an independent community outlet designed to ensure that every resident has a voice. Whether it's holding the board accountable for decisions affecting our homes, advocating for changes that matter, or simply refusing to accept the same old cycle of closed-door discussions, this platform empowers residents to speak without fear of censorship. Why Hills News Matters Unfiltered Community Action – Here, residents can bring attention to overlooked concerns without being cut off mid-s...

🎯 When “Removal” Isn’t Repair: Why Our Trellises Deserve Restoration, Not Erasure

In our community, the exterior maintenance of buildings—including architectural features like wood trellises—is the responsibility of the association. These trellises, while decorative, are part of the original design, lending charm, symmetry, and character to our homes. But recently, something troubling happened: after one resident’s trellis showed visible termite damage, the association sent someone out—not to repair it, but to saw it off and declare it wouldn’t be replaced. Why? Because the board decided trellises “attract termites.” Let’s be clear— removal is not maintenance.

If trellises are considered “li...

Infrastructure Maintenance: A Fiduciary Responsibility, Not an Afterthought

By -

In Hills of Inverrary, the board of directors isn’t just a group of volunteers—it’s a fiduciary body entrusted with the financial and operational wellbeing of our community. That means every decision, especially regarding infrastructure like storm drains, sewer laterals, and roads, must reflect duty of care , duty of loyalty , and duty of obedience to the association’s governing documents. Ignoring Infrastructure Breaches That Duty When storm drains are clogged and flooding occurs, the issue isn’t merely aesthetic or inconvenient—it’s a failure to uphold the fiduciary obligation to protect common elements and maintain community value. Allowing critical infrastructure to deteriorate exposes the association to liability, reduces property values, and ultimately costs homeowners far more in the long run. Good Governance Means Smart Budgeting Effective infrastructure maintenance starts with forward-thinking financial planning. A responsible board doesn’t wait for failure—they anticipate...
