Anyway, the January meeting is fairly standard. That's a good thing.
On the agenda, we'll report on what happened last month. The biggest news is that we've officially changed landscape companies. We left Fontaine Landscaping and have signed a new three-year deal with TSI Landscaping of Cary. They say they'll improve some of the flower beds while maintaining ones that pass their muster. Of course, we'll see. If we have a great relationship, this will provide some stability in service and in budgeting the next couple of years.
New Business at Tuesday's agenda
1. Some HOA board officials want to exploring buying a new technology to run off the Canada Geese. Visit www.awaywithgeese.com. They invented the product. We'll begin discussing the merits.
2. A resident is upgrading her kitchen and wants us to consider accepting a donation of a gas cooking stove.
3. Anything else that someone proposes we discuss.
AND, if there's anything you want to discuss, drop by the clubhouse community room at 7pm for about an hour and you'll know what's happening, business-wise, for the Master Association (the one you cut your $37.80 check to every month).
At this point, we seem to be in a "maintenance" phase of HOA management. Keep the walkway clear around the lake and not jump on any big projects. Keep the proverbial hinges oiled. That's probably a good thing given that we're chipping away on a 5 year loan that brought our clubhouse back to life, avoided an assessment but is requiring that we act very prudently until that loan gets paid down.
