President’s report:
- An administrator for the Canton Forest condos contacted Stacey to ask about our HOA restrictions for fencing, in regard to a privacy fence being installed on a Pickwick property. Stacey informed him that we do not have fencing restrictions beyond what Canton requires.

Treasurer’s Report
- In the first week after dues notices went out, already 15 houses had paid online and 55 paid by check (more than one-third of the houses).
- The budget is on track. For a copy of the budget, please contact treasurer@pickwickvillage.org
By-Laws:
- No report.
Beautification:
- The plow company came through several times during the February storm. We received a lot of messages from residents, and Mike attempted to reply to all of them so that the plow company addressed all concerns. Hartford Court is still not being adequately plowed, but it seems everything else was addressed.
- We have used 9 plow pushes so far, and 13 are included in the contract before any additional charges would be assessed.
- Karen saw examples of signs in another subdivision that encouraged residents to move their cars from the roads for plowing. The board is in favor of researching similar signs, although Pickwick residents did a good job removing cars from the streets during the most recent storm.
- The company with whom we have a lawn contract has informed us that the price will be increasing the price substantially, even though we have a two-year contract already signed.
- The board determined that we do not want to try and push the contract if the relationship is going to be contentious.
- Mike is going to reach out to Swifty, who has been plowing and took care of the lawns in previous years, for a quote.
Welcoming:
- No report.
Social media
- No report.
Old business
- For the next meeting, board members should bring design options to discuss with the sign company.
- The board plans to reopen discussions of street sign toppers at the next meeting.
