Message from the Finance Committee

The Finance Committee met a few weeks ago to discuss the HOA's current financial standing and the budget for 2012. We discussed water usage and how to better monitor it, landscaping options for 2012 and discussion on getting bids for a different management company. Four different landscapers were contacted to get bids for 2012. Those bids were sent to the Board for review and approval. Beth Hill has done some research and determined that we could possibly save money on the management items of the budget. Mark Hanson (a committee member) met with Cindy Cassin and Melissa Carsey to discuss what CCMC is currently doing for the HOA. Mark has experience in writing RFPs (Requests for Proposal), and wrote one that was presented to the Board last week for review.

Landscape Services Update - Fall Clean Up Added!!

As many of you know, the landscape services for the 2011 season were reduced, which included eliminating the Fall Clean Up. (For more details regarding the reduction of services click here.)  Over the last few months the Board of Directors, Finance Committee and Management Company has carefully monitored the financials and cash flow for the Association.

We are excited to announce the Fall Clean Up will be completed!!!

This clean up includes a trimming of all perennials, a rake or blow of the fallen leaves from beds onto grass, a final mow of the grass and leaves using a bag to catch the leaves/grass and removal of all debris. Elite Grounds will begin this clean up in the upcoming weeks.
