Old Business

Neighborhood Lawn and Tree
            The contract has been adjusted and added verbiage ensures that NL&T cannot perform unnecessary maintenance.

New Business

Free Little Library
            The Orchards will have their own Free Little Library soon! The Board is working on ways to bribe Philip to dig the hole for us J

Bylaws
            The Board has compiled a list of changes (most are small) to the bylaws. Homeowners will be sent a list of the amendments once completed. Links to the old and new document will be posted on the blog once completed, as well.

Fire Lane Parking on Silverthorn
            Cars have been parking in the fire lane close to the entrance of The Orchards. This behavior is a danger to drivers and walkers. Members of The Board will be calling the non-emergency police to prevent this from continuing if they continue to park there. Members of The Orchards are also welcome and encouraged to call and report illegally parked vehicles.
