2014 Winter Newsletter
Budget
The 2014 Winter Newsletter is here and with it a copy of the projected 2015 budget. The budget meeting was held October 21, 2014 and the Board is pleased to note that no dues increase is necessary for the coming year. This was due in part to a conservation of labor hours and in part to a short term leasing agreement reached between the Condo Association and the Townhome Association regarding general maintenance of Wood Creek common areas. Further negotiations are planned to cement a longer term leasing arrangement in the near future. If you have any questions about the budget or would like additional information please contact Management.
Recycling
We are excited to announce the start of single-stream residential recycling collection by the City of Lawrence! Wood Creek’s two recycling containers are located in the cul-de-sacs nearest the North and South entrances. Please help make the City’s new recycling program a success by only placing acceptable recyclable materials in the recycling bins. Unacceptable items (plastic bags, food waste, Styrofoam, to-go food containers) can contaminate the entire load of recyclables and cause them to be sent to the landfill instead of being recycled. Please see the list of accepted and non-accepted items for recycling attached to this newsletter. Thank you for your help in making the recycling program a success. For more information on recycling in Lawrence, visit www.LawrenceRecycles.org or call 832-3032.
Snow Removal
In the words of House Stark, Winter is Coming, and with it, the possibility of snow and ice. We ask that all owners and residents refrain from attempting to remove any snow and ice from their porches or walkways. The Association has purchased a nice snow-blower and Management has shoveling crews ready to go when the flakes start falling. We ask your patience though as a number of elements including severity of the storm, location of parked vehicles and time of day (or night) the storm begins impacts how fast the roads and walks are cleared. For those of you who work at night or have an emergency and need to have your area cleared at a specific time, please contact Management and provide them with as much notice as you are able and they will do their best to accommodate your request.
Thank you for allowing us to continue to serve you. We wish everyone here at Wood Creek a pleasant holiday season.
Sincerely,
Wood Creek Townhome Association
Board of Directors
