Happy Holidays! ‘Tis the season for cheer
The HOA would like to wish everyone a happy holiday season, however you celebrate. With the end of the year quickly near, the Board has been hard at work to ensure that we have a good 2024 planned and it all begins with collecting dues for next year.
The fees collected pay for the annual trash service with GFL. The HOA will send an official invoice via Email or mailed to the homeowner address we have on file.
2024 GFL TRASH COSTS: The yearly estimation for trash service will increase 5% in 2024. GFL has confirmed the continuation of the monthly 10% gas surcharge, as the national fuel price remains above $3.50 per gallon. The annual budget will reflect trash service costs to be estimated at $63,057 – or $5,254.74 per month.
This is the final year of our contract with GFL, and the Board has begun researching service providers for comparison purposes. Click here to find more trash information on our website.
2024 FEE BREAKDOWN: To account for the trash service price increase, the homeowner fees for each house is now $241 ($20.06 per month).
- GFL Trash & Recycling $241.00
- HOA Dues $12.00
Total Amount Due $253.00
Your dues of $253.00 must be received by February 1st. If late, your trash service will be discontinued. A late fee of 10% will be due before trash service is reinstated. If you prefer to use another trash company, only submit the HOA portion of dues totaling $12.00. Payment options are:

Letters to Santa in Milburn Fields:
Your kiddo is encouraged to mail their letter to Santa from our neighborhood! Be sure to include your return address so he can have his elves deliver a special message back to them! In order to help Santa keep the letters dry, he also recommends that you put them in a plastic baggie. Santa will make no promises about them receiving their gift requests 🙂
Please be aware the box will come down on 12/22 and all letters will be responded to by 12/24. Find Santa’s mailbox at 7214 Lowell Drive, under the little library!
Holiday Yard of the Month:
Along with Overland Park’s annual contest, Milburn Fields HOA will award a lucky winner of the best holiday yard of the month! Also, Big congrats to the two winners for the best Halloween display.
Discrimination Complaints: The Board is working with legal counsel to resolve the two complaints that were submitted. For the purpose of transparency, you can read the Kansas Human Rights Commission claim and also HUD claim documents on our website. Both are claiming racial discrimination. The HOA has provided each department the requested documentation for the respective investigations. We will notify residents as soon as we have a resolution.
Board Meetings: A quick reminder that monthly Board meetings are open to all! We try to meet on the first Thursday of each month – more information can be found on our website here. The next meeting will be scheduled in January, but a date is not yet finalized as we work through dues collection. The Board typically meets at the Panera at 75th and Antioch at 6:30 pm.
