Letter from President Continued from page 3 ...
Landscaping and beautification of our community will be a major focus in 2025 . We are giving owners some advanced notice that we desire to see the look and feel of neighborhoods increase , not decrease . We have taken steps to shorten the process of dealing with owners who do not keep their property presentable . Collectively if each owner takes steps to make their property more appealing , the value of our community will increase . The Board is considering increasing the budget for our common areas to make them as economically beautiful as possible . Please know that our 2025 beautification effort is just around the corner .
Regards , Doug Reed FCCSA Board President

The Board of Directors are responsible for the affairs of the association and carry the powers and duties necessary to conduct business as described by the governing documents for the association . As a member of the community , you should carefully consider each vote and place your support behind individuals you think will best serve the association in this capacity .
