HPPID Board of Directors “calls” for Public Input

The next regularly scheduled meeting of HPPID’s Board of Directors is Thursday, May 8, 2008.  The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. in Room 19, High Pointe Baptist Church, 101 High Pointe Lane, Cedar Hill.  The May 8 meeting will be for the purpose of conducting business related to the operation and management of Cedar Hill Public Improvement District #1 at High Pointe, commonly referred to as HPPID.  The meeting is open to the public and all High Pointe residents and other interested persons are invited to attend. 

In addition to Citizens Forum, the meeting will include a public hearing so High Pointe residents can recommend construction and services items for the Board to consider as it prepares its operating budget for the new fiscal year beginning October 1, 2008.  Referred to as capital expenditure projects or CEP’s, previous CEP’s have include new vinyl privacy fences along New Clark, Wintergreen, Cedar Valley, Straus and Old Straus.  Other CEP’s included new entry monuments, decoratives planting beds, added lighting and irrigation.  Approximately one third of HPPID’s annual operating budget is dedicated to CEP’s and public input is requested to insure all HPPID residents are afforded the opportunity to submit their input for the Board’s consideration.

HPPID Board changes Directors

During the regularly scheduled meeting of the HPPID Board of Directors on Thursday, April 10, 2008, Board President Michael Quildon announced that At-large Director Marlene (Maggie) Kroft-Knedler had resigned from the Board for personal reasons.  President Quildon acknowledged Director Kroft-Knedler and thanked her for her long support of both HPPID and The Meadows Homeowners Association.  Director Kroft-Kedler was one of the original petitioners which led to the establishment of Cedar Hill’s first public improvement district in October 1998.

Board President Quildon submitted Creekside resident Gerald Andrews to fill the remainder of the term of office of Director Kroft-Knedler.  The term of office for the At-large Directorship runs until September 30, 2009.  Quildon pointed out that Mr Andrews had stood for election to the HPPID Board for the last two elections.  Mr Andews, who was in attendance at the meeting, acknowledged his willingness to serve on HPPID’s Board.  The Board voted unanimously to appoint Mr Andrews and to submit his name to the Cedar Hill City Council for confirmation in accordance with HPPID’s By-laws.  

A hearty “thank you” to departed Director Kroft-Knedler and  ”welcome aboard” to new At-large Director Andrews.

The Board of the High Pointe Public Improvment District will hold a Directors Workshop

January 26, 2008 at 10:00 a. m

at Panera Restaurant in the Target Shopping Center

Pleasant Run Road, Cedar Hill, Texas 75104

The city’s Code Enforcement Committee has worked to address the proliferation of signs throughout the city. Earlier this year, the committee worked with the City Council to enforce the City’s regulations related to signs in the city’s right-of-ways. We are hoping the kiosks will reduce the number of homebuilder signs that line are streets:

• The purpose of this is to establish consistent regulation of installation, use, and maintenance of directional signs.  This amendment will also provide a uniform, coordinated method of providing homebuilders and developers a means of utilizing directional signs, while minimizing negative impacts on the City and its residents.
• A kiosk sign is “a free-standing structure located in public right-of-way that features the City of Cedar Hill identification panel at the top of each structure and displays directional information to homebuilders, residential developments, and municipal or community events or facilities.”
