Committees

Audit Committee – Posted 2/18/2025

The Cedar Springs HOA board is looking for a few volunteers who like working with numbers and are detail-oriented to audit our financial records for the prior calendar year.

We have prepared all the necessary documents volunteers will need to audit our books.

It’s anticipated that the time needed to conduct the audit will total no more than two hours. We would like to have the audit completed as soon as possible after the Annual Meeting in January.

If you’re interested in serving on the audit team, please contact us. See details about the proposed annual audit process.

Beautification Committee

The Beautification Committee gives input to the Board on organizing our Annual Spring Cleanup, keeping our front entrance appealing, and working on projects like planting native wildflowers in our west side outlot off of Willow. You can help as much or as little as you’d like, it all helps!

Pond Committee

The Pond Committee is responsible for maintaining the health of the pond, which includes application of bacteria packets and algaecide that keep surface algae under control, maintaining signage around the pond, making suggestions to the Board for controlling weeds, and making sure
the pond gets some periodic sweeps for trash and litter that storm drains have brought in.

 

Welcoming Committee

The Welcoming Committee gets contact info from the Board about new homeowners to Cedar Springs.
They make sure they receive a welcome letter with important information about our area, contacts for both Cedar Springs and North Liberty, and some of our more common Covenants.
