Thanks to all residents for their help in observing Parkridge’s restrictions.  We appreciated each one of you.

The following topics were discussed at the Annual meeting:

• Danny Balle asked about the operation costs of running the street and island lighting. Should we consider upgrading to LED?

President, Mike Wilson is currently looking into that. LG& E owns the poles, they are metered lights. Costs will be more in the winter months.

• Many discussions about Waste Mgmt collection dates, use of automated equipment now. Must have everything in the 96 gallon can. We are going to contact other vendors like EcoTech and Republic Services for a cost analysis. We are currently in a very reasonable contract with WM till 2025. We anticipate a steep increase.
• Joey (Secretary) will contact the administrator of our Neighborhood Facebook page to see if we can link the website to it. For ease of use.
• Brad Knapp suggested the board place a notice to run for office in July on the website to allow enough time for campaigning. The annual meeting is always toward the end of September each year.

• Many discussions/questions about transparency of financial statements. At first, we considered placing all the financials on the website. After further consideration, the information is proprietary in nature and should only concern the residents of Parkridge. If you would like a copy of the treasury report…email president@parkridgelouhoa.com or secretary@parkridgelouhoa.com.
