Treasurer’s Report
- Karen has submitted payment for the South Park repaving project ($16,000).
- The board will review available balances and the budget at the December meeting to determine what to move into the savings account for future projects. As of now, the budget is on track to move approximately $4,000 to savings at the end of the year.
- For a copy of the budget, please contact treasurer@pickwickvillage.org
By-Laws:
- No report.
Beautification:
- The paving on the South Park path is complete, but the path will need to be sealed in the spring. Mike has requested a quote for that work from the same company that did the paving. Mike is continuing to add straw and grass seed around the path.
- The board discussed plans for cleaning out the garbage cans in the parks during the winter months. A neighborhood middle-schooler has volunteered to do this work. He will plan to check the cans every two weeks and assess whether different timing is needed as the season progresses.
Welcoming:
- Kelly has attempted to deliver a welcoming package to the newest resident in Pickwick Village and will continue to do so.
Social media
- No report.
New business
- Three new members have joined the board, in the positions of Vice President, Beatification, and Web Management/Social Media. The outgoing board members will transfer all necessary documents and information to the new board members before the December meeting.
- The board discussed dues amounts for 2025. As contract costs increase (e.g., snow and landscaping), there is a need to increase dues. The 2025 dues will be $120.00, an increase of $2.00 per resident (plus any fees associated with online payment).
- The board plans to send a newsletter along with the dues notices in January. This discussion was tabled until the December meeting, when the board will set dates for 2025 activities to include in the newsletter.
- The annual holiday decoration contest is coming up again. Residents must have all lights and decor up and turned on by 6:00 p.m. on December 20 to be eligible for a prize this year.
- Dave Spotts brought up the sidewalk paving that is planned for Pickwick residents. Many residents received green marks on their sidewalks, indicating that the residents are responsible for having the areas replaced or for paying Canton for replacement. The board discussed the option of allowing residents to pool together to hire a company for this work. The board will discuss this option further at future meetings.
Old Business
- None
The meeting adjourned at 7:55 p.m.
