3.  The State of the Association - No major issues occurred in 2009-2010. The only change that was made was hiring a new landscaping company for the front entrance.  The Association is saving almost $1,000 per year changing companies. 

Items that were discussed: 

Getting quotes from all garbage companies to see if they would offer a discount on trash services if most residents switched to the more affordable company. The benifits would be less trucks in the community and financial savings to residents.  All parties present agreed that this should be looked into.

Having a community clean up day.  The association would pay to have two roll off dumpsters located in the community one weekend.  Residents could bring household items and put it in the dumpster.  All partied present agreed this should be looked into.

Since we are inline with our budget and we are saving money on landscaping, should we look into hiring a company once a year to come and paint all mailboxes for the homeowners.  All parties agreed this should be looked into.

All parties agreed that we should start a "Yard of the Month" program.  Details will have to be finalized.  Homeowner would get a sign in the yard and a gift card to a home improvement store.  Or possibly a choice of gift card to a place of thier liking.  This is going to be discussed further.

Discussion of another cookout in the fall for homeowners.  It would be held at the Rabbit Farm park.  This will be discussed furthur.  Concerns of homeowner turnout will determine if a cookout will take place.
