This might be another reason to have camera’s. When are we coming out of the
dark ages, cameras are everywhere except here.

I have no idea. As you go around the corner toward the Exit gate, he was
between the the third to about the sixth unit on the left.

Pat, what units was he standing near? You mentioned close to Robert's unit but
I don't know where Robert lives. Which building?

I drove past Saturday and noticed the headboard which was leaning against an
open garage. There was a man standing there about 6' and white. There was a car
in the garage and one in the driveway. I hope that will help somewhat.

Thanks Pat. Hopefully, Dennis and the Board will use that information to fine
& charge the cost of the dumpster repair to that owner.

When I drove out of the gate, I noticed that trash is starting to pile up
outside of the dumpster again.

Monica,

I was driving out today and saw the brass headboard leaning against a unit with
owner standing there. Not sure about number, but I think it was pretty near
Robert Mann's unit. Maybe Robert would know the neighbor. Will drive by to try
to figure out Unit no. It had to be the same person.

Does anyone know what stupid jackass put the large brass bedroom furniture in
the dumpster? It has caused the dumpster to become obstructed again, and the
trash is piling up. Perhaps we can check with anyone who is presently in the
process of moving in or out or remodeling to see if the furniture belongs to
him/her, so that (s)he can remove it and discard of it properly.

We have repeatedly informed residents that the dumpster is not to be used to
discard large items like old furniture and boxes. Can the Board put a large
laminated sign on the front of the dumpster to remind residents of the rules?
We don't need to keep spending HOA fees on avoidable dumpster repairs.

Thank you,

Thanks to the board for following up to fix the dumpster. I really appreciate
your service. Having the trash hauled away from the premises is also important
to eradicate the rodent infestation. Do we know the schedule or how often the
trash is hauled away from the dumpster?

I agree that we should all do our part to throw trash bags inside the dumpster
and push the button to start the compactor when several bags are beginning to
pile up. I don't think that being petite is an excuse for non-compliance. I
am petite and I have an injured wrist, but I still make it a point to throw my
trash bags all the way into the dumpster. Typically, I don't let my trash pile
up to the point that it is too heavy to toss in, and alternatively, I transfer
some of the trash into separate bags to make them light enough to handle.
Quite frankly, I get upset when I open the dumpster and see a trash bag sitting
in the shoot, because that makes it more difficult for me to throw my bags in.
It is convenient to have the broom handle present. But if it isn't present,
residents who struggle with their bags may want to drive or walk to the
dumpster with their own broom or mop handle to move their bags in, since I
think that the HOA can impose fines for such violations.

As for the rodent issue, I am still hearing rodents running in the walls. I
can't sleep when I hear them bumping in the walls and vents...and thus, I'm
awake sending this email. I will reach out to the exterminator again. Image

There used to be a broom handle or some kind of stick to help push trash bags
in if you couldn't get it all the way in on the first try. Last time I checked,
I didn't see it. No offense, but I'm not crawling into a dumpster to push it
all the way in those rare cases, and I assume the next time someone throws a
trash bag in, they can knock in mine, too. (that's what I do, anyway, if I have
more than one bag.) Not lazy, just not 100% accurate... and short. :-P

Folk need to make sure their trash goes all the way in. I cannot believe that
people leave trash hanging. Maybe they cannot throw it far enough into the
compactor but if that's the case, why not throw in smaller bags? Lazy if you
ask me. Well done to the people that do the right thing.

The regular dumpster is up and running. I just used it with no issues. It would
help if residents made sure trash made it in the shoot and run the compactor.
It was starting to over fill only because no one had run the compactor after
throwing there trash in.

Is there a pick up schedule for this open top garbage dumpster? It is now full
and will soon run over. Is there any word on how long it will be before the
regular dumpster is fixed? The open top is an eyesore.

I've never seen the trash looking so bad. I worry about an increase in vermin
die to the overflow.

Anyone know what's going on with the trash?

The trash overflows and rodent infestation are recurring problems that are not
being consistently monitored and prevented. Can someone explain the
difficulties involved in scheduling more frequent trash pickup and
exterminating services. I don't care if we cut back on the pine straw placed
around the bushes. But not having trash overflow & a rat infestation are HUGE
issues for me. I'm over this.

If there is nothing in the traps, that's good as long as you are not hearing
the noise in the wall. Part of the proactive measure was what we had done on
our visit last week, when we found the hole they were getting into at the air
conditioning lines. The trapping inside and trap checks is to catch anything
that may be in the bldg after the holes are sealed. Ken and myself are going to
put together a proactive solution for the outside to help thin the population,
but at the same time you have to understand that no one has control over the
actions of the animals. Dennis and myself will do anything that we can to make
y'all comfortable in your homes , but at the same time keep in touch so that
we know what is happening on the inside. Thanks

Brian

Thanks,

Highland Board
