Treasurer’s Report
- At the time of the meeting, all but 10 houses had paid the annual dues. Past-due letters have been sent to those who have not yet paid. The amount owed is now double the annual dues amount. Board members will reach out to those who have not yet paid.
- The budget is on track. For a copy of the budget, please contact treasurer@pickwickvillage.org
By-Laws:
- Updater from Canton Township: Last year, Canton made changes to its residential permitting process and no longer requires HOA approval prior to issuing any permits from the Building and Inspections Services Division. Although Canton adheres to property ordinances adopted by the governing body of the township, they do not override covenants and restrictions established by each HOA. Residents still must first check with the HOA to make sure a project meets all subdivision requirements. Canton cannot issue permit refunds for permits reviewed, issued, and then cancelled due to violations of HOA requirements.
Beautification:
- Mike is getting quotes for mulching the playscapes and islands.
- Mike has tilled the volleyball court and plans to do so at least one more time before the annual picnic, to help prevent ground bees from building nests there.
- Canton is now scheduling 2026 roads projects. In keeping with long-term plans to submit for a small project each year, the board voted unanimously to submit an application for a small 2023 project.
- There are a few stumps left from trees that have been cut down in the north and south parks. Mike is planning to rent a stump grinder to take care of those.
- Mike is going to price out options to have a few hammock poles installed in the parks.
Welcoming:
- No report.
