Wintery weather is right around the corner!
It might seem early to start preparing for wintery snow weather, but now is a great time to stock up on sidewalk salt, find a new shovel, extra batteries, space heaters, etc. Lowe’s Home Improvement’s website has a great home winterization checklist – read more here!
Neighborhood News: Yearly Dues
The process to collect the annual HOA dues for 2023 has officially begun. Inflation and increased fuel prices have unfortunately impacted our anticipated trash service fees for 2023. GFL has implemented a monthly gas surcharge of 10% when the national fuel price exceeds $3.50 per gallon. We are fortunate GFL renegotiated with the HOA Board to adjust the yearly rate increase for 2023 to minimize impact to residents.
Official Email or mailed letter will be sent to the email address or mailed to the owner address on file around January 1st, 2023. See below for quick details:
2023 FEE BREAKDOWN: To account for the fuel surcharge, the HOA Board unfortunately needs to increase homeowner fees for each house to $218 ($18.16 per month) + $12 HOA dues = $230 total.
Dues of $230.00 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:
- Pay by Check: Make payable to Milburn Fields HOA. Mail to P.O. Box 4277, Overland Park, KS 66204
- Pay by PayPal: Go to the HOA website at www.milburnfieldsop.com. In the right-hand column, enter your address & phone number in the boxes & click the PAY NOW button. Please note there is a $9.00 service fee when paying by PayPal.
If you need to update your contact information so that the HOA has the correct or best way to contact you, please find the Google Form on our Website homepage here.
The final YOTM award for this year will be for Holiday Decor! We will snap some photos in the coming weeks and put it to a neighborhood vote this year – keep a lookout on Facebook to help us choose a winner!
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. January meeting is this rescheduled to later in the month so the Board can work to collect dues. Tentative meeting date 1/26.
By-laws update: We’ve discussed at our annual meeting that we are working to update and reformat our association’s bylaws to be easier to understand and consistent with other associations. We welcome you to review the working draft which we plan to review at the November Board meeting. The official Bylaws will be finalized for membership voting approval by the Annual Meeting next year.
