Taken From News in a Nutshell February 2012

NEW LAWS BEGINNING 1/1/12!

The 82nd Legislature enacted several new laws affecting all homeowners’ associations. As of January 1, 2012, all board meetings are open to the community. This year, the Board has approved the scheduling of four general meetings:

January 17, April 17, July 17, and October 16.


There will also be a special meeting on September 18 for election nominations ONLY. In an effort to keep the entire community informed, the financial report and the reports from the different committees will be published each month in this newsletter. The agenda for any meeting will be posted on the community bulletin board on Plantation. All property owners

are still urged to send your comments, questions, complaints, etc., to the Board by way of our office e-mail which can be found on the back cover of the newsletter (pgpoa@peoplepc.com).
CLEANING UP!

February is finally here, and with it comes the expectation of spring and sunshine!! During the colder weather, a lot of our plants and vegetation were destroyed, so we all need to remove what is “gone”, and start “sprucing up” our landscapes. It is also a great time to find areas of your home

that need replacing, repairing, repainting, etc. Being in the Gulf Coast Plains, we are always going to have mildew, so please check your siding and eaves, especially in the shady areas. Also, check your brick surfaces near the ground—

including driveways. We all share the same problems—we just need to roll up our sleeves and get things looking nice again!!

 

Another project that many of us need to address is the appearance of our driveway. Sometimes we fail to put things away after we finish a project, leave the kids’ bikes lying around, or forget to put the garbage containers out of sight. This really takes away from the beauty of our property! Why not take a couple of extra minutes and “tidy up”? Just see what a difference it makes.

 

Probably the most frequent complaints that we receive are: 1) Owners not cleaning up after their dogs leave a “deposit” in a neighbor’s yard; 2) Owners who do not control their barking dogs sufficiently. Remember, no one loves your dog or mine like we do—so we need to be responsible for them! 3) Owners or yard personnel leaving grass clippings in the street. Grass clippings usually end up in the storm sewer, clogging the system, which causes flooding. Please help the community by

being thoughtful of others. 4) Owners putting their trash/grass bags at curb side too early. Please place your trash out no earlier than Sunday afternoon for Monday pickup and Wednesday afternoon for Thursday pickup.

REMEMBER YOUR 2012 DUES

Your maintenance fee bill must be paid in full by February 29, 2012. Those who still owe will incur a $25 late fee as of March 1, 2012. The only exception to the policy pertains to those who are involved with a payment plan with the POA. So, if your situation makes it impossible to pay your entire bill by the end of February, contact us NOW!! We’ll be glad to help. Several in the community already have. 

The next general meeting will be April 17, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. at the Pecan Grove Country Club. We hope to see you there!
