Dues Increase, Parking and Trash Policy

Village at Freedom Place Dues Increase & Parking and Trash Policy

March 31, 2009

Dear Residents,

We had a successful first homeowners meeting and accomplished several key issues. The most important being the 2009 budget and the increase of the monthly HOA dues. The new board as well as the general membership voted and passed the increase of monthly HOA dues to $80.00 per month effective May 1, 2009. This increase just covers the operating costs of the HOA for 2009. This will not generate any capital funds for projects that the HOA would like complete. The late fees will remain $50.00 and will continue to be enforced. Just a reminder, monthly dues are to be paid by the 15th of every month. There will be another HOA meeting in May for discussion of capital funding.

A new trash policy has been established for the entire development effective May 1, 2009. This policy states that all trash cans are to be stored in garages at all times and placed back in garages no more than 24 hours after trash pick up. Inspections will be made by RKS to ensure enforcement. When a violation has been seen for the first time, a written warning will be given and every violation after that will result in a $25.00 fine.

The parking policy has been established for residents in Phase 2 and will also go into effect May 1, 2009. This policy was put into place due to snow removal as well as safety issues and must be followed. The parking policy states that every resident in Phase 2 is no longer allowed to park in front of their garage. If there is no room in your garage, either room needs to be made or a storage unit will need to be rented. For violations, the same written warning will be given after the first violation followed by the $25.00 fine for every violation after that. Inspections will be made for this policy as well to ensure enforcement.

A copy of the pet policy that was established last year is also included as reminder of this policy and that it will continue to be monitored with the nicer weather approaching.

A reminder for the next HOA meeting will be mailed in the upcoming weeks and we hope to see everyone there. Thank you for all of your support and we look forward to another exciting year.

Sincerely,

RKS Management Group, LLC.

These pool rules can and will be changed as necessary. This process will evolve with the pool as new problems arise. The Village at Freedom Place is going to have a hard time keeping individuals from the neighboring properties from visiting the pool area at their leisure. Each homeowner needs to be attentive and ready to respond when this does occur. The HOA cannot afford to actually hire a full time pool attendant, therefore the responsibility of the upkeep and will fall on the individual homeowners.

If you should find someone from a neighboring property trespassing in the pool area, warn them that you will contact the Junction City Police Dept. and then do so. When this occurs please notify Jeff Olson at 785-226-2388 so that we can follow up on the issue. Please be aware that unless you know the identity of the person trespassing the police / HOA will not be able to file any complaints.

To maintain a shared pride in the appearance of the community, ALL pet droppings must be picked up and disposed of. Random inspections of the property will be made to make sure this policy is being followed. If droppings are not picked up the HOA will take care of the clean-up at the expense of the homeowner.
