Goal Updates 2024

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.
