BUSINESS NOTES

Dec 11, 2000

tHE ANNUAL MEETING WILL BE HELD ON SUNDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2000 AT 6:OOP.M. WE ARE TRYING OUT THE NEW TIME FOR THE MEETING THIS YEAR. WE STILL NEED PEOPLE TO VOLUNTEER TO PLACE NAMES IN NOMINATION TO SERVE ON THE BOARD. THERE ARE TWO BOARD MEMBER VACANCIES THAT MUST BE FILLED AT THIS TIME. REFRESHMENTS WILL BE SERVED. ALL HOMEOWNERS AND RESIDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND.

DURING THE NOVEMBER BOARD MEETING, SEVERAL ITEMS WERE DISCUSSED:

LANDSCAPING:MANY THINKS TO THOSE FEW BRAVE FOLKS WHO ASSISTED IN THE WORK DAY ON NOVEMBER 4TH . WE GOT THE PANSIES PLANTED AND SOME OF THE WOODSHAVINGS DISTRIBUTED. THE WORKDAY WAS SCHEDULED IN AN EFFORT TO HELP CONTROL LANDSCAPING COSTS. HOWEVER , DUE TO LACK OF PARTICIPATION , CARE OF THE FLOWERBEDS WILL BE INCLUDED IN NEXT YEARS'S LANDSCAPING CONTRACT.

ARCHITECTURE:CONCRETE GRINDING OF UNEVEN AREAS OF SIDEWALKS/WALKWAYS IS SCHEDULED FOR THE WEEK FOLLOWING THANKSGIVING. ADDITIONAL LIGHTING FOR THE DARKEST AREAS OF THE PROPERTY WAS ALSO DISCUSSED.

BUDGET:THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE NEXT YEAR WAS REVIEWED BY THE BOARD.

CLUBHOUSE:THE CLUBHOUSE IS GREATLY UNDERUSED AND IN NEED OF REPAIRS. THE GROUP DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY OF LOWCOST UPGRADES TO THE CLUBHOUSE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING MONTHLY ACTIVITIES FOR RESIDENTS, I.E. CARDS, GAMES, AND OTHER "GET-TOGETHERS."

DUMPSTER:IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MORE AND MORE. BAGS AND BAGS OF TRASH ARE BEING LEFT OUTSIDE THE DUMPSTER FOR YOUR NEIGHBORS TO PUT INSIDE AND COMPACT. SEVERAL TIMES, A BAG HAS BEEN SLUNG ON TOP OF THE DUMPSTER AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO RETRIEVE. SMALL CHILDREN ARE OFTEN SEEN TAKING TRASH TO THE DUMPSTER. THESE LITTLE ONES ARE TOO SMALL TO PUT THE BAGS INSIDE. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN TO ATTEMPT PLACING TRASH IN THE DUMPSTER OR WORK THE COMPACTOR. ALSO, LEAVING BAGS OF TRASH OUTSIDE THE DUMPSTER INVITES PESTS AND IS VERY UNSIGHTLY/UNHEALTHY.
RESIDENT/HOMEOWNERS:PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE TRASH BY THE DUMPSTER OR SEND SMALL CHILDREN TO TAKE TRASH OUT.

LAUNDRY ROOM:EVERYONE IS REMINDED THAT WE DO NOT HAVE A CLEANING SERVICE FOR THE LAUNDRY ROOM. WHILE IT IS APPRECIATED THAT YOU CLEAN OUT THE LINT TRAPS, IT IS REQUESTED THAT YOU DO NOT BRUSH THE LINT ONTO THE FLOOR OR LEAVE DRYER SHEETS LYING AROUND THE AREA. PLEASE KEEP THE LAUNDRY ROOM CLEAN AND CLEAN UP AFTER YOU USE THE FACILITY ...JUST LIKE AT HOME.
