President's Note

Hi Neighbors,

It was nice to see a number of you at our spring food truck event, especially a mix of folks that have called Kent Woodlands home for decades and those of you who just moved in with your young children.

Many of you have responded to the survey we recently sent out seeking community feedback as we prepare to update our CC&Rs and Bylaws. This is a heavy lift, and one that is long overdue. Rest assured we will overcommunicate the process and all members will be asked to vote to adopt the proposed revised governing documents when the time comes. Some of the questions in the survey asked for input on what the association’s top priorities should be, and touched on issues spanning short term rentals, pets, noise, parking, and more. I encourage you to grab a cup of coffee — or even something stronger given the topics at hand! — and fully participate in this feedback process. See below for instructions on how to access the survey.

Have a wonderful spring, and if you're inclined to attend our Monday, May 19th board meeting at 6:00pm via Zoom or in-person, our volunteer board members would appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Jeff Leh, President
