Annual Meeting

7:30PM           Welcome and Opening Introduction Raymond Newton

Thanks to those residents who attended the 2018 Annual Meeting of The Eagle Point Homeowners Association. The HOA Board thanks Shelby County Sheriff John Samaniego and Cahaba Valley Fire Chief Jim Witherington and North Shelby Fire Chief Buddy Tyler for attending the meeting of our homeowners. We were fortunate to have a great representation from each department. All were very willing to answer questions and share what they do for and in Eagle Point.

Shelby County Sheriffs Office
           Sheriff John Samaniego
           Adam Mitchell Investigations
           Deb Sumrall Community Outreach
           Sergeant Owen Prescott
           Lieutenant Jason Myrick

Sheriff Samaniego took time out of his schedule to come speak to the EPHOA and discuss the Sheriffs Office involvement in the community. He wanted residents to know that he and his deputies are working hard for the people in Eagle Point. He introduced several of his deputies and investigators and invited them to describe their daily activities and what they see is positives and negatives in the community. Crime in EP is very low compared to other communities in the area, but Eagle Point is not immune. We are reminded to be watchful and vigilant in reporting things that seem odd or make us uncomfortable. Several questions were posed to the deputies including, question about car decals so the deputies would know it was an EP resident, what happens at night in Eagle Point, animals that deputies deal with in Eagle Point coyotes, deer, and rabid racoon or etc. The Sheriffs department want residents to call them if something seems slightly off whether it is suspicious cars, person or animals. Deputies said to go with your first instinct. Deb Sumrall is the community outreach deputy for the Sheriffs Office. If you need anything please feel free to call her at 205-670-6015. The question was raised about parking on street during parties etc. and Sheriffs Office said to call them and they would handle it. They want to be involved and to do what they can to help.

           Chief Jim Witherington
           Fire Marshall - John Yancey

Both Chiefs spoke about their support of the community and the wide variety of calls they receive on a regular basis. Seems like actual fires are low on their call list. They are called a lot of times when the Sheriffs Department cannot get to a resident. Chief Tyler talked about fire safety and the importance of having fireplaces inspected each year along with the importance of placing ashes in the correct receptacles and locations (Article will follow soon). Below are links to short videos that will make homeowners aware of the importance of having working smoke alarms along with a video that shows the proper location for installing smoke alarms.

Chief Witherington spoke about the need to clean, sweep and check chimneys once a year. Maintenance is very important due to settling of houses, cracks in the firebox and soot buildup, as well as regular use can sometimes cause damage to the fireplace and the chimney system. The Fire Department offers fire safety classes and will also perform house inspections to any homeowner who calls and schedules an appointment.
