Many of you have asked if the board needs help with anything or if there was anything you could do to help. This Saturday and every third Saturday from now on there is something you can do.
Starting this Saturday from 10:00 a.m-12:00 p.m. we will be having a community clean up day. We plan on sweeping out all the stairwells top to bottom. We will also be taking down the light covers in the carports and washing them off. We'll also use this time as we walk around the property to pick up any litter.
We would love to see you for part or all of the time on Saturday morning. If you have a bucket and/or broom we would appreciate if you could bring it out with you. We'll see you Saturday!

August 13, 2009 Board Meeting
Concerns for Colette Patten (see email)
Ben Jones has moved. Board is looking to appoint someone to take the vice pres. position, that is now open.
There have been some misunderstandings on the watering issues. There are zones and sections within each zone. So the water may sound like it is on in the same place but it is a different section within each of the zones.
Landscaping advice to make things better.
Cleaning of light fixtures and entry ways. All residents will be invited to participate.
For Sale and Rent signs need to be placed in appropriate places.
Rental policy and waiting list to be written and enforced.
Items such as towels or anything should not be hung over balconies.
Trash needs to be put into the bins, boxes etc. need to be broken down. DO NOT LEAVE ITEMS OUTSIDE OR AROUND THE TRASH BINS. Make sure trash bin lids are closed.
Cars not being moved for long periods of time need to be checked to see who owns them and taken care of.
Birds in drier vent will be taken care of.
We would like to start having quarterly meetings for all homeowners to attend if they wish to do so.

Upcoming Board Meeting
Dear Homeowners,
We met as a board for the first time this past Saturday May 30, 2009. We discussed each board member’s responsibilities and talked about things we want to accomplish this upcoming year. I'm so excited to be working with these four fantastic people.
We have officially asked Becky Haynie to continue to act as the Assistant Treasurer for our association. We feel that her 6 years of experience as a board member will make her an invaluable asset.
Her contact information is as follows:
Becky Haynie 62 #03 801-221-0413
The blog www.countrysidesquare.blogspot.com is now where we will be post all Condo Association information. If you do not have access to the internet or for any reason would like to continue to receive a hard copy of posted information please contact myself or any other member of the board and we will make sure that you receive that information.
Our first monthly board meeting has been scheduled:
CSCA Board Meeting
June 18, 2009
6:00 p.m.
Countryside Square Pavilion
The first 10 minutes of the meeting will be set aside for homeowner questions or concerns. If you have an item you would like to present to the board you may submit it in writing no later than 10 days prior to the board meeting. It can be turned in to box A. Or you may email it to countrysidesquarepres@gmail.com. For this month all items must be submitted no later than June 08, 2009.
Depending on the volume of responses we receive for any given month we may not have time for every item. Everyone who submits something will receive a response from the board. We will let you know no later than 3 days before the meeting if your item is scheduled for the current meeting or if, due to time constraints, it will be presented at the next month’s meeting.
All future board meetings will be held on the second Thursday of each month. This means that July's board meeting is scheduled for July 09, 2009 at 6:00 pm. If we ever have need to change the date or time of any board meeting you will be given enough notice to be able to have your homeowner items turned in by the 10 day cut off.
We are looking forward to hearing from you with any ideas, questions or concerns that will help us to improve our complex and make it the very best it can be.
Please call with any questions you have about this new policy.
