We would like to welcome Bobby Gentry as our newest Board member; he is filling out the remainder of Daniel Flores’ term which ends in March 2016. Bobby has been on the Board previously and is also a former Board President. He has a lot to offer the Association.
CORRECTION: wrong side on my initial posting. This happened on the East side, not the West…
We are just hearing about an incident that happened last week within our community in which someone was robbed at gunpoint as they arrived home and exited their vehicle. Items were taken and no one is reported injured. This is on top of the recent burglaries that happened in previous weeks, after which we contacted the GP Police and requested them to beef up patrols in our area.
Please be mindful of your surroundings and report any suspicious behavior to the GP Police immediately.
For the next few months we are only getting 2 mows, per our contract, due to being outside of the normal growing season.
Our next scheduled mow will be on Monday, October 20th. I have also asked them to keep the carports as clear of grass and leaves as possible without causing a trespass issue.
There is an Open Board Meeting scheduled for October 16th at 7PM in the Association Office.
We will have our second application of Weed Control and Fertilizer applied tomorrow morning, hopefully ahead of the coming rain. Our grass is looking so much better since the last one a few months ago.
Due to the manner in which it is applied, some of it will probably get onto porches and sidewalks.
We have another water leak on East Townhouse (near the Golf course) at the end of the single story homes. This leak is much worse than the previous one.
Water will be back on as soon as possible.
We need to keep the compactor empty to handle all the food people are likely to be throwing away on Monday, following the 20 hour power outage, so we cannot fill it up with tree branches and other debris. We will have the compactor empties following Monday’s trash pickup and several times more, as needed, to get ready for Thursday’s trash pickup.
We are going to cut up large branches today and leave them in place; small branches will be piled up or taken to the Dump. I have a call into the tree service, but they are probably very busy right now. We have one tree that needs to be completely removed due to storm damage.
Fences will have to wait until we have large limbs and discarded food sorted. We will try to get to fence repairs beginning Tuesday.
