February 20 Annual Meeting

by the North Village Board of Directors

Hear ye. Hear ye. Attend the February 20 Annual Meeting
Every February your board of directors holds their Annual Meeting at which the president of the board will enumerate the accomplishments of the past year, the treasurer will review the financial status, and the results of the recent board elections will be announced. The Annual Meeting will be held in conjunction with the February board meeting. If you’ve never attended a board meeting, you will gain an overview of how your assessments are being used to maintain and improve your community. Email our community manager April Steward to register your attendance.

New Landscaping Vendors in North Village
After seeing declining performance from our previous contractor, North Village is now using Shorb Landscaping for landscaping maintenance and snow removal. Look for their trucks and workers especially when spring arrives.

STOP Feeding the Rats! Pick Up Your Dog’s Poop!
Please place doggie bags in appropriate trash receptacles and bins in the neighborhood. DO NOT LEAVE BAGS or dog poop under trees or in common areas as it is illegal. Rodents, rats, and other vermin are attracted to feces left out in open spaces. Please be considerate about this health safety issue for your neighbors and keep these areas clean.

No Time Like Snow Time. Reminders on Shoveling
We are reminding residents living in townhouses that they need to clean the sidewalk in front of their houses. If you own an end unit townhome, you also need to shovel the side path of your townhouse.

Trash Collection Holiday Schedule
The snow has played havoc with the recycling schedule. Check the MV website if you have questions on pickups. Below is the holiday trash schedule for 2025. 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. On President’s Day week, trash will be picked up on Feb. 20, but recycling will move one day.

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 vendor to pick up bulk trash, 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 for one of their free bulk pickups. If you see a neighbor that 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.
