Dear Braeburn Homeowner,

The 2010 Board of Directors wishes you and your family a very safe and Happy New Year!

WETLANDS MAINTENANCE
As we discussed at the annual meeting, we will continue the wetland plans to maintain the health of our drainage systems, and promote native wetland species in 2011. The work to remove non-native/invasive plants and woody species will begin in the first quarter. More details will be communicated via our e-mail distribution list and community blog; see details below.


NO DUMPING – PLEASE DON’T DO IT!
Dumping in the wetland ponds is strictly prohibited. If you see anyone dumping anything in the wetlands, please ask them to stop. This includes grass clippings, dirt and any other waste. Dumping harms the native plants, clogs the drainage system and leads to costly maintenance and cleanup. Please notify the Board of Directors of any repeated dumping violations by sending us the details to bpoa.admin@gmail.com.

The Wetlands Committee is recommending that the Board assess a large fine for anyone caught dumping in the wetlands. These fines will be used to clean up the wetlands and remove the dumped waste. More details on these fines will be available after the 2011 board decides on the process to levy the fines.

If you have questions, or want to be a part of our Wetlands Committee, please email us at bpoa.admin@gmail.com.

EMAIL ADDRESSES WANTED
If you are not already on our email list, please include the form below with your 2011 dues payment. This saves us money in reduced postage costs, and will give you more details on upcoming events, wetland maintenance updates and the latest Braeburn news.

Sincerely,
The 2010 Braeburn Board of Directors
