-Charlie Tygard, Treasurer: for his diligence in overseeing the collection of dues. This year we had 100% participation.

-Wayne Plump, ARC, for a thankless job of keeping up with renewal projects and home maintenance concerns.

Treasurer's Report

Financial Report - Annual dues collected from 100% of residents for 2019. Legal action is pending on one resident due to failure to comply with payment terms.

Overall, the 2019 Budget is in excellent shape with revenue collections exceeding 100% and all expense categories within expected ranges. Tree cutting/removal only category exceeding budget and will need to be increased in 2020 as the neighborhood ages and more trees need attention.

Annual Meeting

Mark your calendars for the annual meeting. We will discuss the budget for 2020 as well as cover other topics relevant to the neighborhood

Security Update: Flock is Coming

You will see some changes at the entrances to Poplar Creek Estates in the coming months. In an effort to make our neighborhood safer and to deter crime we have joined up with Flock Safety. We will have cameras installed at the 3 entrances of our subdivision. This will help deter potential crime as well as assist Metro Police in the event a crime occurs in our neighborhood.

Security Tips:
Did you know that MNPD has a list of "Dos" and Don'ts" to prevent home break-ins?

"Do watch your neighbor’s property and note suspicious persons and vehicles. Notify the Metro Police at 862-8600 and give a description: location, number of suspects, race, age, clothing, vehicle description and tag number. If it’s a burglary in progress, call 911. Keep watching and stay on the line."

Know your neighbors and have their mobile numbers. Communication is key! Check out the rest of the "dos" and "dont's".

Emerald Ash Borer
The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is a metallic green, invasive Asian beetle which feeds on ash trees. The EAB is attacking all species of North American Ash trees, and unless treated, it will kill all before 2026. No ash tree is immune to the devastating effects of this insect which has been in Davidson county since 2014. Learn what you can do.
Proposed Covenants Revisions Vote
The updated covenants vote has been set to take place in the Spring of 2020. Information will be given at the Annual meeting. This will be followed by informative meetings after the 1st of the year leading up to a vote in the Spring.
