We are still replacing sections of sidewalk due to ground shifting, the worst sidewalks first. This one is located near West Townhouse Lane; we will continue to replace sections of sidewalk as the Budget allows.
The Office will be closed tomorrow, December 4th. We will reopen on Monday, December 7th.
Just a reminder for those interested in running for a position on the Board of Directors that we will begin taking applications in the form of a resume starting January 2, 2016.
We have two director positions which will be on the Ballot.
As most of you have noticed, there are a lot of kids wandering around the complex this week due to Thanksgiving vacation. We had a car get hit by rocks thrown by two young boys, another boy purposely damaged Association property, and there is lots of trash tossed about.
Folks with kids need to keep an eye on them and what they are doing. Damaging the property of others in not constructive nor will it be tolerated. If you see kids damaging property just to have something to do, please contact the Police.
Despite our many efforts to curtail the practice of our residents putting broken glass panes, broken bottles, busted mirrors and glass shards into plastic trash bags, we STILL have residents who do this. This is not just careless, it is negligent. We have sent out Notices which ask our residents to put broken glass of any sort into a box and tape it securely. This includes 12 or 24 packs of beer bottles, as the bottles always fall out of the open cardboard container and end up shattering in the trailer or on the ground, and at the compactor. Boxes must be taped closed or we will not pick them up.
We have already had one of our maintenance guys get cut on the leg from a shard of glass poking out of a trash bag and in the most recent 3 or 4 trash days, we had at least 6 plastic trash bags with broken glass in them. We are not talking a broken drinking glass; we are talking fairly large window glass or mirror pieces. We will be checking bags for broken glass each time we pick up trash and will be noting the addresses of any broken glass in trash bags or not properly contained in a securely closed box. Each time we find broken glass in a trash bag there will be fines issued to the owner(s).
This is a health and safety issue and must be taken seriously.
The Office will be closed until Monday, November 9th.
The Office will be closed all day on Monday, October 12th. We will reopen on Tuesday, October 13th.

In case some were wondering why we drained the pool, we had an algae problem that required us to pressure wash the sides and bottom of the pool. It is almost refilled as of this afternoon. We will likely be covering it next week to keep the leaves out; they tend to plug up the skimmers.
