Presidents Report: It’s been a difficult year, but we maintained finances. The biggest problem in our association is that people are not looking after their dogs. Past Sheriff Joe Tackitt and also an area officer spoke on this matter in previous meetings. We are limited as a board on what we can do, as we are not allowed on others property without permission. Wilson County has a constant problem and no constable dedicated to the situation. If you encounter a loose dog, there are several things that you can do: keep calling the police every time you see a new loose dog, take the dog to a no kill shelter, and if a dog enters your property, you have the right to defend yourself and shoot the dog.
Treasurer’s Report: Account balances as of Jan 23, 2021:
checking $16,774.72 Edward Jones: $38,599.08 Total assets: $55,373.80
There are 2 properties with unpaid dues for multiple years. They both have been sent to the attorney and liens placed on their property for $36 annual maintenance fee, interest admin fee and legal fees.
