President’s Message February 2013

Managers Report

Contracts have been awarded to RH Painting, Contemporary Painting, and KC Tree Care (year 2).

KC Tree Care plans to take advantage of the predicted warmer weather during the week of January 7 to

start area 2 of the contract. They also removed 9 dead White Pines on December 28, 2012.

Joan and I are preparing for the 2012 audit scheduled for February 19, 20, 21, and 22. This year, we are

trying to send preaudit information electronically. This seems to be working well for Dana F. Cole and

Four Colonies.

We will be reviewing the 2012 financials during the month of January in anticipation of closing out the

year.

Harold and Alan are repairing/replacing dumpster cover doors. They will also concentrate on cleaning the

dumpster covers. They will be conducting equipment inventory.

Workers Compensation audit was conducted on January 8. No adjustments were necessary.

The Dianne Coddington Library, dedicated in October 2010, is located in Clubhouse 2 at 7975

Monrovia. All books have been donated. The library is open during office hours.

Our library organizer and volunteer librarian, Dianne Coddington, has now retired. We will

miss her valuable book knowledge and guidance. However, she has not left us afloat. During

her time with us, Dianne trained and mentored 17 year-old McKenna Hart, a Four Colonies’

resident. McKenna plans to major in Library Science in college. Managing the Four Colonies

library is, and continues to be, a welcoming learning experience for McKenna. We will be well

organized.

Dianne has truly enjoyed working in the library. She treasures her many literary discussions

with library patrons and hopes she has contributed to our readers’ love of books as much as the

readers have contributed to her love of books by asking for her literary opinions. Dianne has

the uncanny ability to match a book to a reader based only on their brief meetings.

Dianne wishes to express her appreciation and thank you to the Board of Directors for giving

her the opportunity to share her love of books with Four Colonies’ residents. We thank you

Dianne for your many years of caring service.

Helen Lightle, President

Homeowner’s Corner

Question: Why do we trim trees in winter? Homeowner

Answer: Trees need some tender loving care in the winter. Our trees are now dormant

and this is the best time to prune. Trees, especially Pines, benefit from dormant pruning. Removing dead wood, diseased and unsafe branches and shaping helps to prevent future storm damage that could injure the tree or surrounding buildings. Pruning while trees are dormant allows wound sites to heal before spring insects re-appear. This will also allow the tree to focus on new growth to only the healthy limbs.

Have a question for Homeowner’s Corner? We will try to give you an answer.

Did you know that in 2012, hundreds of volunteers donated more than 11,000 hours helping the City

of Lenexa retain the highest standards? With each volunteer hour having a value of $18.13 in Kansas,

that service added a value of over $211,000 to Lenexa.

Two Four Colonies Properties Sell December 20th to January 18th

They were: a Chalet listed at $77,900 and a Maisonette II listed at $79,500. Both were foreclosures.

What Lies Ahead for Real Estate

Sales are on the upswing, both resales and new construction. I anticipate the market will be quite a bit

better in 2013 with prices slowly rising and interest rates still historically low. I am looking for more

Four Colonies properties to list and sell. If you are considering selling this year, or if you know of a

neighbor or friend who is considering selling, there is no obligation for me to do a market analysis or a

consultation on a property. This service is always free.

Save the dates for 2013 dumpster weekends

April 20-21, Oct. 19-20 Lenexa's dumpster weekends are back by popular demand, but residents will see several changes to Lenexa's dumpster

weekends and curbside pickup programs in 2013.

First, curbside spring cleanup will now be organized by each refuse hauler. Beginning this year, each refuse hauler must

provide one bulky waste pickup per customer per year. Curbside pickup will be scheduled between the trash hauler and

customer.

There will be two dumpster weekends in 2013 on April 20 and 21, and October 19 and 20.

Be sure to mark your calendars for this year's dates. For more information on the City's waste regulations, visit the

Municipal Services page on the City's website.

REMINDER

Large items are not to be left in the trash

gazebos. If it doesn’t fit into the dumpster,

please make arrangements to have it

removed. Allied Waste and Deffenbaugh

will pick up individual items for a small fee

(ex. furniture, carpet, appliances).

Thank you.
