2024 Financial statement audit accepted

by the North Village Board of Directors

FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
North Village is $18,000 above budget thanks to CD interest income. These CD funds are designated for upcoming capital improvements
later this year. Despite this positive development, winter weather significantly impacted our finances. We budgeted $28,000 for snow removal based on recent mild winters, but unexpected heavy snowfall resulted in actual costs of $55,000. Without this weather challenge, we would have met our first-quarter maintenance budget. Another ongoing concern is bulk trash disposal, which cost $10,000 in the first quarter. As we have often mentioned, we encourage residents to utilize the four free bulk pickups available per household to help reduce these unnecessary expenses (see the Don’t Dump item below). On a positive note, we’ve underspent on non-maintenance costs by
$8,000. In addition, our 2024 audit was completed with no issues found by the auditors.

RESIDENTS: STOP FEEDING THE RATS! PICK UP YOUR DOG’S POOP!

Please dispose of pet waste in designated trash receptacles throughout the neighborhood using waste bags. Leaving bags or dog waste under trees or in common areas is ILLEGAL, and creates health hazards by attracting rodents and vermin. We’ve received multiple complaints about this issue. For everyone’s safety and well-being, please be considerate and maintain clean common spaces by properly
disposing of your pet’s waste.

SPRING INTO ACTION
If you recycle your lawn cuttings, please place them in the accepted containers and place at the curbside for pickup. Placing lawn cuttings
in common areas increases the costs for all of us. Also note that Recycling and Trash pickup changes for Memorial Day week. ONE trash pickup that week is scheduled for May 29. Recycling will move one day. See the holiday trash schedule below through Labor Day.

UPCOMING TRASH COLLECTION SCHEDULE
J&J Trash Service is our disposal company. On holiday weeks, J&J will pick up only once that week. If the holiday falls on Monday, then the pickup will be on Thursday. The holidays with an asterisk (*) indicate that the county transfer facility is closed. Don’t Dump! Bulk Trash Costs Everyone Money. We ask for everyone’s help with the amount of bulk trash in the common areas (a.k.a. dumping large household material). Every time a call is made to our bulk trash vendor for a pickup, we must pay for that separately. Ultimately, the
“We” is all of us in North Village. If you see neighbors putting out bulk trash, please ask that they call J&J Trash for one of their four free bulk pickups. If you see a neighbor who is dumping, you may email our community manager so that we can get a letter out to them.
SAY IF YOU SEE
“If you see something, say something.” If you see suspicious activity anywhere in Montgomery Village, please call the police at 301-279-8000. If it is an emergency, dial 911.
