August - Green Trails
A ug ust 2013 GET INVOLVED! Are you looking for a way to get more involved in your community? Run for a Director position with the Green Trails Improvement Association (GTIA). GTIA is your homeowners association. The GTIA board consists of 15 directors – one per area – who are tasked with the job of keeping Green Trails’ common areas beautiful. Becoming a board member offers a unique volunteer opportunity to make a visible difference in your community. This year, 6 of the 15 Board of Directors positions are up for election. At the beginning of October, an election ballot is sent to every homeowner in the areas up for election. If you don’t know the area in which you reside, check the mailing label on the back of this newsletter. Areas are referenced by the letters A through O. The following areas in Green Trails will conduct an election for their GTIA Board of Directors representative for the duration of the designated term: 3 Year Area: Section: Term end date: A Heritage Farms 3, 4, & 5 Nov. 2016 B Heritage Farms 1, Oaks Condos Nov. 2016 E Woodglenn West (North of Green Trails Dr., West of Golfview) Nov. 2016 L Surrey Ridge 4, Lakewood 1, Abbeywood Condos, Trails at Abbeywood Nov. 2016 N Tyrnbury, Torrey Pines Condos Nov. 2016 Area: Section: Term end date: O Green Trails Apartments Nov. 2015 Area: Section: Term end date: M High Point Condos Nov. 2014 2 Year 1 Year Anyone interested in seeking one of these positions must be a unit owner in the area represented. In order to have your name placed on the official ballot, please fill out the application on page 2 and send it to C&R Properties, Inc., P.O. Box 3106, Lisle, IL 60532-8106. Or, you can send an e-mail to [email protected]. All candidate applications must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. on September 10, 2013. Please see “Get Involved” cont. on page 2 GT WEBSITE : www.greentrails.org Page 1 GT E-MAIL: [email protected] “Get Involved” cont. from page 1 What does GTIA do? GTIA’s main responsibility is to maintain 16 of the 26 miles of paths that wind their way through the Green Trails subdivision. The other 10 miles are maintained primarily by the Lisle Park District. GTIA also maintains 198 lights along those 16 miles of trails, and maintains the areas around the 5 Green Trails welcome signs. GTIA operated on an approximate budget of $425,000 for 2012. What do board members do? Board members meet in the evenings on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Meetings typically are held at Kennedy Junior High, but the location may vary and any changes in location are printed in the Pathfinder newsletter and on the home page of the website (www.greentrails.org), before the meeting. The meetings can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Board members also serve on committees where their talents can best be put to use. Committees may meet a few times per year. Why are there so many openings for board members? Typically, 5 board positions (onethird) are up for election each year. However, due to a lack of candidates in previous elections, some board members have been appointed to their positions. Appointed board members live in Green Trails, but do not necessarily live in the area that they represent. These positions, therefore, are put up for election. If you live in an area whose position is not up for election and you want to be considered for an appointed position, please contact management. If you would like to know more about what is involved in being a board member or need more information on becoming a candidate, please call management at 630-210-8353 or contact the current board member for your area. To see the Board of Directors in action, come to one of our meetings at 7:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of every month. Watch the Pathfinder or check the website for information about the location of the next meeting. Your involvement makes a difference in Green Trails! YES!
