Condo V- January 2026
It is a new year, full of possibilities … we hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday season.
Winter is Here
Winter—some of us love it….and some hate it—but we all must be ready and prepared for whatever Mother Nature brings. So, while repetitive, here are important reminders:
Make sure the indoor supply valve to the outdoor faucet is turned off.
Main walkways are cleared and ice melt used by our contractor. While ice melt has been located at key locations throughout the community, make sure you take some to have available before a storm for use on the patio walk that leads from your doorway to the main pathway. The main pathways will have ice melt spread by our contractor when needed. However, if you see an area on the main pathway that is icy, please contact Secretary Ann Kiss by email (frauknoth@optonline.net) so she can arrange for ice melt to be spread in that area.
We cannot schedule when certain areas will be shoveled. If your schedule requires you to leave your home early, make sure you have a shovel within reach of your door if you need to clear the snow. Eventually, the contractor will shovel from the sidewalk to your doorway.
The path from your doorway to the main pathway must be clear of any obstacles. If you have a gate, leave it open so the staff can enter easily. Remove your doormat.
Be aware of blast calls from HOA Maintenance asking you to move your car so they can plow snow within a parking area. Also, just a note about when you clear snow around your vehicle, once you leave that parking space, any resident can then occupy it. We do not have assigned parking, so please understand that winter weather requires patience and community cooperation.
Project Update
The leaves have been removed to the extent practicable.
Concrete slab replacement has been completed. Joint repair will continue in the Spring.
Woodland Court basement windows and window wells have been replaced, and foundation cracks repaired.
Start the Year Off with Gratitude, Appreciation & Cooperation
We live in a beautiful condominium community, which takes a considerable amount of time and effort to run smoothly and efficiently. This is attributed to our outstanding Condo and HOA board members. They are volunteers who put considerable time into their respective positions to help keep our residents and property safe, financially fit, and a beautiful place to live. Constructive community participation is also a crucial factor in our continued success, so please share ideas and concerns. You can make an appointment to attend a board meeting or send information you would like addressed to Secretary Ann Kiss (email above). Effective community cooperation leads to stronger social ties, improved problem-solving capabilities, and enhanced resilience against challenges. When we work together, our strengths multiply, and our limits fade!

HOUSE RULE
OF THE MONTH
Garbage/Waste Management
Condo V dumpsters are emptied on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
If you have oversized items to be disposed of, do not put them in the dumpster. Contractor waste should also not be emptied in the dumpster. Large items are picked up by the HOA maintenance staff on Fridays and Mondays. These items should be put near the dumpsters on Thursday or Sunday evenings. Do not put items close to the dumpster, which can block access by the garbage truck. The driver will not empty the dumpster if there are objects in the way. Be sure to place oversized items behind on the curb where they can be easily seen by maintenance, but not in the street. As a courtesy, you can call HOA Maintenance on Friday and Monday mornings to let them know you put items out to be picked up.
