The End of Summer
Fall is fast approaching and the holidays will be here before you know it. I’m happy to write the faux grass is scheduled to be installed Sept 29,2008 in the courtyard . We had a few delays but it appears everything is a go. Additional plants have been added to the planters is an effort to bring more color into the courtyard. Many thanks to Deborah Mayer for working with Carr Landscape to help choose plants that not only are colorful but are drought resistant. She will also be keeping an eye on the landscaping to report any areas that need attention as well. (Shes also the glue fairy that has been helping to glue down wallpaper that has come loose)
**** EXTREMELY IMPORTANT Please mark your calendars for Sat Oct 11, 2008 between 9am-12pm.. There will be a mandatory inspection of mini-horns in each and every unit. We have al least 1 horn that is disconnected and keeping our fire alarms from functioning properly. A representative will need to be present to allow All-systems access to each unit. It shouldn’t take but a few minutes in each unit .
Speaking of fire alarms we have just replaced 26 of the smoke detectors. Hopefully, hopefully this should end the numerous false alarms at 4am, and help us to get back on the good side of the fire dept.
The next HOA General Meeting will be held sometime in January. Please think about becoming involved with the HOA and running for the board of directors and or volunteering to help in some aspect or project for our community.
We are still getting complaints of dogs doing their business in the hallways and owners not cleaning up after them. Please remember as responsible pet owners, we are responsible for cleaning up after our pets. Please be considerate of your neighbors. If your dog has an accident in the building (and lord knows I’ve had this situation on more than 1 occasion) please clean it up. No one likes to have to smell it or avoid stepping in it. And if necessary please use carpet cleaner or if its on hard surfaces use 409 or something similar. All of us are responsible for keeping our community clean and a nice place to live
You may or may not have noticed our front lawns are frequently used to dump discarded furniture. If you need to dispose of large items (sofas, old mattresses, refrigerators etc) that are not able to be donated, you can call the Dept of Sanitation @ 800-773-2489. You can leave the item curbside and they will pick it up for free.
