Hedgerow Herald - January 2023 Edition

1. Dues: The HOA board would like to welcome everyone into the New Year and with that, a reminder that annual dues of $795 will be due on March 1, 2023. Be on the lookout for your bill in the mail in the near future. Also, CMA released a new website this summer (Welcome Neighbors! (cmacommunities.com) for homeowners to signup. You can pay the dues via mail to CMA when you get the bill or go online at CMA's new portal to make a payment (Make A payment on CMA's website).

2. 2022 Pool Contract: At the annual meeting in October, a homeowner brought up the higher-than-expected Pool Contract amount given our lack of lifeguard coverage in 2022. We mentioned in the meeting that we pay the contract throughout the year and resolve differences at the end of pool season when pools have closed, and that is when the pool company can go back and address clerical/accounting issues. This is only the second season we have not had lifeguard coverage and first time the lack of coverage was significant. The Board worked with the pool company since the annual meeting and have resolved those billing issues and received a check back in the amount of $4,475 from our pool company plus we were not billed the last monthly installment of our contract in the amount of $4,092 for September.
