Remember There there are no large vehicles allowed until further notice ( see post from Last week)
and Trash must be taken to dumpster at south end of Island.
I just saw a pick up pulling a skid loader trailer( empty fortunately) and thought another reminder might help.
Please let any contractors know.
Thanks
It appears that the post did not correctly go out to everyone last week so here it is again in case you missed it
Spring is near and As frost has started to go out the roads have become soft. To protect the roads as in past years we are asking that heavy trucks, construction equipment, etc. stay off roads until further notice. Please notify any Contractors that you are using.
Trash dumpster will be placed Thursday or Friday this week at south end of Island in same location as prior years. You will need to take your trash to that location as we have asked trash company to stay off roads as well.
We appreciate your help.
FYI for anyone who has not been up recently the ice is already out of the river.
We have scheduled with Hawkeye sanitation for Island clean up. This is your opportunity to get rid of extra/old items you no longer want. They will pick up on Monday 9/26/11 with their regular pickup. Their will be charges for some items like appliances, tires etc and a few items they will not accept. We will have that list in next day or two and will post.
Dottie Reimer Has Them
FYI Trash pick up will be back to Normal pick up in front of your house this Monday.
Bob Gilkes informs me that we have between 20 and 30 Red Cross clean up kits. They will be put in the association shed. Let us know if you need one. We do have our first Board Meeting at 8:30 Saturday so we will be at the Island office that morning.
Just got word from Bob Gilkes that the Island road has reopened this morning. 4/21/11
