Reminder, all garage doors should be closed when not in use, both for aesthetic reasons and to keep critters and insects from potentially infesting adjoining units.  This will be crucial in winter months to avoid animals getting into building and to prevent pipes from freezing.  We understand at times you will be using the garage and it may be open for as long as it is in use; that being said please close the garage overnight and when not in use; NO propping open the garage with a shim or post. 

You should have received you HOA dues for 2023.  If McShane does not auto draft your payment (meaning you signed up with them to PULL the payment, then you will need to make sure you change your figures if YOU send it through automated billpay through your bank.  It is good practice to confirm before the years end that all dues, fees and repair costs are paid in full to avoid further late fees as they are going to $50 per month beginning Jan 1st.  As we mentioned in previous annual meetings, we had to get our HOA dues in line with necessary reserves to maintain over a 1 million dollar budget to get our community back in good shape.  We outlined dues being raised significantly over a number of years on a declining scale.  We feel that we are in much better shape to care for future expenses, but being 20+ years old we do have to address large projects coming over the next 5 years.  We will continue with paint, and egress repair towards the back of the community in the next 2 years.  We do understand there is brick damage throughout the community, but we have to address the most severe brick repair before we do cosmetic repair.  We also have roads a roofs coming and would like to address potential needs in the annual meeting so please plan on attending.
