Treasurer’s Report
- Receipts were presented and paid for Halloween parade supplies ($145.95) and welcoming packages ($50).
- The budget is on track. The board will review available balances and the budget at the December meeting, once insurance and the south park paving project are paid, to determine what to move into the savings account for future projects.
- For a copy of the budget, please contact treasurer@pickwickvillage.org
By-Laws:
- No report.
Beautification:
- The south park paving project is scheduled to take place on November 8
- Update since this meeting: The project took longer than anticipated, but was completed as of November 12.
- Mike is adding hay and grass seed around the path.
- The contractors noted that this round is likely the last time we can add a layer on the top; the next time repairs are needed, we will need to fully tear out the path and pave a new one.
- Mike will submit the application and $2,500 payment for the 2028 roads project.
- The board is in need of a resident volunteer to store the signs used to announce dues and meetings. The volunteer would not need to serve on the board; their only role would be to store the signs and place them out at the appropriate time, approximately three times a year.
Welcoming:
- A new neighbor has moved into 6836 Brookshire Drive. Kelly will deliver a welcome package.
Social media
- No report.

- Mike received a quote from Swifty of $20,650 per year for lawn and snow.
- This represents an increase of approximately 14% over our current contract ($18,040 per year).
- This new quote would be a 2-year extension to our current contract (summer 2025, winter 2025-26, summer 2026, winter 2026-2027).
- The board previously discussed extending the contract, and then getting all new quotes in 2026. After reviewing the quote, members also unanimously approved the extension at this meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
The November and December meetings will be held on the following dates:
- Thursday, November 21, 7:00 pm (either 6835 Brookshire Drive or 6760 Brookshire Drive; location to be determined closer to the date)
- Tuesday, December 17, location TBA
