We have finally recieved all financial records from our bank dating back to 2017. We are currently updating all financial records of all residents. Our percentage of residents current is now 80 out of 139. When we took over March 9 2019 there were only 60 houses out of 139 in June of 2019 43 percent. This is unacceptable and we will have the percentage up to at least 80 percent by June 2020. Currently we are in a crisis with the covid 19 virus, so we will suspend the collection processes until this pandemic has ran its course. This has also given us time to update our records. We will still enforce covenants, Next on the list are trash receptacles and pressure washing houses. Our recommendation is to purchase a pressure washer for the community. Sign out the pressure washer for residents current and in need of pressure washing their homes. We have some volunteers that will come around and pressure wash homes for the qualified during this pandemic. This is a forum and we would very much like your input.. thanks
