No. Directors volunteer their time and talents because they are interested in the well-being of Woodfield and are prohibited by the By-Laws and other policies from receiving any type of direct or indirect compensation. Formal board meetings are held at least quarterly with additional more frequent informal meetings and communications.
Yes. The board of directors is elected at the annual homeowners association held early each calendar year. Although any member can be nominated at the annual meeting, it would be very helpful if residents interested in serving contact the board prior to the annual meeting.

The board prepares an annual budget and goals for presentation, consideration and adoption at the annual homeowners association meeting. This budget includes proposed income based solely on homeowner assessments(dues) and proposed expenses. Expenses include basic maintenance costs for the common area (including the pond), other expenses e.g. legal, utilities, insurances, and miscellaneous. The expense budget may also include contingencies, a reserve, and proposed capital improvements for the common areas, as it has in recent years. The board is diligent in seeking supplementary neighborhood grant funds from LFUCG to offset some expenses.
Association documents are posted on www.woodfieldowners.com in the Documents menu section. Hard copies are also available by contacting any member of the board of directors.
It depends. If it relates to covenant or deed restriction violations, the answer is yes. If it relates to some nuisance violations of rules and regulations, the association might be of help in resolving a problem in a friendly manner; examples might include a resident not mowing a lawn or neglecting to make fence repairs. However, since many nuisances are also ordinance violations, e.g. parking problems, noise, loud music, barking dogs, etc. they would likely be better enforced by LFUCG. Within the past year, the board distributed to each member of the Woodfield Homes Association a blue LFUCG “Citizens’ Answer Guide” which provides contact information for these and many other matters. You can also call LexCall (311 or 425-2255). The telephone contact for police is 258-3600. You are also encouraged to notify our neighborhood watch program coordinators and street captains at whoacw@yahoogroups.com, especially on matters of unusual or suspicious activity.
Yes. Purchase of a home and lot in Woodfield brings with it membership in the association. This membership includes certain mandatory obligations, financial responsibilities, and a commitment to abide by the association’s covenants, deed restrictions, rules and regulations.
The developer formed Woodfield Homes Association in 1988 at the time lots were being sold and homes were being built. The developer controlled the association until it was turned over to a board of directors composed of Woodfield residents.
The mandatory homeowners association is the cornerstone of a planned residential neighborhood or community. It gives continuity to the neighborhood, preserves property values and architectural integrity, and maintains the common properties. The homeowners association can also be the vehicle for neighborhood communications and security.
Members of the Woodfield Homes Association have two responsibilities: one is to themselves and to their individually owned property and one to the association and the neighborhood concept. The individual responsibility requires the member to occupy, maintain and use the property in accordance with the covenants, deed restrictions, rules and regulations. By doing so, the member avoids the enforcement penalties and sanctions the association can impose. By meeting the individual financial obligations in a timely manner, the member avoids the levy of late fee penalties and possible liens against the property.
Our homeowners association provides the structure for managing our residential neighborhood concept. The primary responsibilities of the board of directors are to maintain and improve the common areas and to enforce the covenants, deed restrictions and rules and regulations. The board also provides oversight and support to other neighborhood initiatives, e.g. the neighborhood watch program, and facilitates communications through letters, newsletters and our website, www.woodfieldowners.com. A full listing of the board of directors responsibilities is contained our By-Laws, Article VII, Section 3.
