Past Committees
Community Gardens Committee
Formed in early 2015 to advise on the initial formation, rules, pricing and plot assignment process.
Advisory Panel
Formed in 2007, before the first homeowners moved in to Mueller, the Advisory Panel was a mixture of homebuyers and stakeholders from the surrounding community. The group primarily advised on POA governance issues and draft the amended Rules and Regulations for Mueller. The group held several community input sessions on general POA and governance issues as well as a few specific issues such as onstreet parking. This group formulated final recommendations and the recommended the group be disbanded and that continuing research and work be done by the Parking Solutions Input Group and the Rules Committee on an ongoing basis.
Parking Solutions Input Group
The Parking Solutions Input Group was created following the Advisory Panel to focus on parking issues. The group met in the Fall of 2009 and held two informational sessions for homeowners regarding Onstreet Parking including a townhall meeting. The group made a recommendation that loosens the current onstreet parking restrictions in the covenants slightly. That recommendation has been reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors. The Rule to allow resident on-street parkign for up to 72 hours was sent out in a newsletter in November 2010 and discussed at the 2010 Annual Meeting.
