Special townhouse meeting this morning to discuss trash pick-up

The meeting is at 9 a.m. at the townhouse administration building on Perralena Lane.

Please find below a summary of the meeting with Scott Randall, Randy Knowles, Brent Gray, Glenn Zarpaylic and Bob Peterson concerning the HSVTHA trash pickup service.

After much discussion and debate the final solutions approved by the POA are as follows:

Option 1
Leaving the trash pickup at 2 times a week as is now with an additional $11.00 increase. This would bring the trash pickup service to a total of $25.00 a month in total. The current at home pick up service would be an additional $4.00 increase with the at home service pick up being a total of $29.00 a month.

Option 2
Going to once a week pick up service at $1.00 increase. The monthly pick up service total would be a total of $15.00 with the following mandatory items:

Each unit will have to use a new trash container that will be provided by the POA. The containers are 32 gallon, 64 gallon and a 96 gallon container. All of these trash containers will be picked up at curb side by a mechanical truck. Therefore the townhouse owners not being serviced by a communal trash corral will be responsible for his/her trash container to and from the curb side and also maintaining a storage area to house the trash container out of the public view. Also this brings forth the possibility of having to reconfigure the current trash corrals to house the new larger containers.

We all ask the POA to listen to our problems and concerns and they did. These solutions incorporate all the emails and input we got from the townhouse owners. The POA is willing to go with either solution being court wide. To clarify this statement each court may go with the option of their choice but it has to be by majority vote for that court.

The THA Board will address the voting process and additional information will be sent out. The POA is requesting if at all possible we get the court results to them by September 15th so they can continue with their budgeting process.
Thanks to all involved with their efforts to help better the HSVTHA.
