BOARD BUSINESS

---

It doesn't look like we'll get any relief soon from this hot, dry weather. 

The grass, plants, bushes, even trees, look so droopy, dry and thirsty.  

Feel free to water the grass and plants around your house. 

We have a couple of home owners doing this and their grass and plants look so green and healthy. 

Hope the rain comes soon, we need it!

The Annual Meeting is scheduled for 

Monday, August 18, 2025 at 6:00pm at the Madison Library on Middle Ridge Rd. 

The purpose of the meeting is to elect board members. There are two seats open. 

Kay is running for another 3-year term. 

There is one open seat with 2 years remaining. (Terry resigned from the board in June.) 

Kay plus two other Sweet Brier homeowners have submitted their letters of candidacy. 

To cast your vote for two board members, 

you must be the homeowner and must be present at the meeting or have returned your signed proxy.

All homeowners are encouraged to attend. 

Reminder

Trash pick up will be delayed one day for Labor Day.  

The holiday falls on a Monday, so Tuesday, September 2 will be trash day. 

Spring landscape work has been started and will be completed by the end of May.  

During the Board's grounds walk, landscape needs were identified. 

We are continuing to shrink large mulch beds, remove dead and damaged trees, shrink front beds and replace bushes as needed.  

Straw is laid down on top of the grass seed to protect it. 

Please water your straw and grass seed daily for two weeks so the new grass will grow.  

The property will be mulched by Memorial Day. 

The front beds and the large tree mounds will be mulched. 

You are responsible for maintaining and mulching your side beds and back beds using black mulch only. 

Wednesdays are mowing days for Sweet Brier. 

Remove all personal items from the grass and yards before mowing days to prevent any damage to your things.  

This includes garden hoses, solar lights, potted plants, dog leashes, furniture, rabbit fences, toys, etc. 

Damage to any personal items left in the grass on mowing day will not be replaced. 

Review your insurance policy and make sure you have a homeowner policy that insures the entire structure of your unit, both inside and out, top to bottom. You do NOT want a condominium policy, as that will only insure the inside of your unit. As a homeowner in Sweet Brier, you own and are responsible for the roof, windows, doors, siding, slab, foundation, garage, interior & exterior walls and even driveway of your unit.  

Please make sure you are insured appropriately. 

If you have any questions, you can contact Kay.
