Winter 2014-2015
2015 Draft Budget
may have noticed, the crows—and sometimes other
animals--are out every trash day ripping open trash
bags and scattering the contents. You won’t always see
it happening, but you see the results. Unfortunately
(and unfairly) most of the litter is picked up by someone
other than the resident who caused the problem.
The 2015 Operating Budget will be discussed at an open
meeting on November 20, 2014, and coupons will be
mailed out in mid-December.
The coupon for your First Quarter payment will be sent
out with the mailing address of the new Payment
Center. The new address is:
Chadswood HOA
c/o Summit Mgmt Proc. Ctr
PO Box 95366
Las Vegas, NV 89193-5366
There are still some residents who do not follow the
rules and guidelines for disposal of trash. The most
important things to remember are:
 Put your bagged trash in a securely covered
container. We still see bags of trash piled up at
the curb on trash day.
 Put your trash container out on the correct day
at an appropriate time. Trash should be placed
out by 7:00am on the day of collection.
 Trash containers should be taken back to your
property and stored out of view the evening of
the day trash is collected. Trash containers and
recycle bins should not be stored in the front of
the home.
If you have set up recurring payments through your
bank, it is important that your bank has the correct
Payment Center address above.
New Information Form
We need to update our files, so please fill out the
enclosed Information Form. This enables us to contact
you in the event of an emergency. This is especially
important if the unit is rented and possibly vacant.
There have been cases of frozen pipes that have burst in
winter causing damage to the unit that is the source of
the leak and also to adjacent units. With no way to
contact the owner or occupant, we have no choice but
to force entry and shut off the main water. It may not
be possible to live in the home until repairs are made in
some cases.
New Manager
Summit Management has assigned a new manager to
the community, please join us in welcoming Todd
Canali, CMCA, AMS, as your new point of contact for
any questions or concerns you may have. Todd can be
contacted via email at Todd@SummitManage.com or
phone 301-495-0146.

Inspections
Reporting Problems

the winter months. You will be expected to make the
required corrections as soon as weather permits. If you
received a Final Warning in 2013, a Notice of Hearing

If you notice damage to Association property, a parking
lot light that’s out, etc., you can submit a Service
Request to Summit Management Services via their
Website at www.summitmanage.com. Problems you
observe can be reported directly to your Community
Manager at customerservice@summitmanage.com or
by calling 301-495-0146 and leave a message.
Please understand that approval or guidance from the
Board of Directors may be necessary before action is
taken in some cases.
Your Board of Directors is pleased to report that the list
of active violations decreased significantly in 2013.
Winter & Weather
Here is some information regarding responsibility for
Snow Removal:
 Parking lots: Association Contractor
 Individual parking spaces: Vehicle Owner
Note: Be courteous. Don’t park in a space that
was cleared by your neighbor.
 Sidewalks along County roads: Association
Contractor.
 Townhouse sidewalks: Homeowner adjacent to
the sidewalk.
 Single-Family home driveways (including the
common portion of the shared driveways):
Individual homeowners.
Note: Salt destroys concrete! Do not apply
salt to the concrete surfaces. “MAG” should
be used. Sand or kitty litter is messy, but it
will provide traction without damaging the
concrete. Sweep onto the grass afterward.
When you shovel, remember that
placement is important. The snow you pile
up will melt and run downhill. There’s a
possibility it will become ice when night
falls.
 Streets (Beehive Lane, Honeybear Lane, Peridot
Lane, Cabana Drive, Brandermill Drive, Scenery
Drive, Bloomingville Court, Valley Bend Drive.
Cross Laurel Drive): Montgomery County.
 Refer to the Montgomery County Website to
determine the progress of snowplowing
operations.
