Trash Holiday Schedule

     While you are finalizing plans for the upcoming holidays, make a note on your calendar that both Christmas Day and New Year’s Day fall on a Wednesday, a regular trash and recycle pickup day in Greentrails Phase II.

    In accordance with the service agreement with Best Trash, there will be no trash and recycle pickup on December 25, 2024, or January 1, 2025. 

    Trash will be picked up on the Saturdays following Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, and the regular service schedule will resume Wednesday January 8, 2025.  Recycle collection will not resume until Wednesday January 8, 2025. If you have more than what will fit in your recycle container, please put the extra recycle in clear or white bags and/or boxes.  Note also that added holiday volume may result in later-than-usual service times.

NOTE TO HOMEOWNERS ABOUT PAVILION DEVELOPMENT:

Several years ago, the Green Trails II Board was approached to consider funding a large pavilion for events. As a result, the Board began setting aside money for capital improvements with the intent to invest in future amenities for the neighborhood.  The Board has been open to feedback regarding enhancements that could be made to modernize the HOA's amenities. Additionally, the Board considered the Reserve Study which manages the neighborhood assets and indicates when items are due for replacement.  In this case, the large play structure at Gerri Ayers was approaching possible replacement. Interest in having a space within the neighborhood for activities such as yoga, zumba, concerts, and markets prompted the Board and its volunteers to work on ideas around finding a space for those kinds of activities. The challenge includes finding or creating a place with a bathroom, sufficient parking, access to water, etc. The Gerri Ayres Pavilion is one of the only places in the neighborhood where all of those features are available. There is a beautiful pavilion at the Gerri Ayres pool that is used only for about three months a year when the pool is open. Knowing that there were plans to upgrade and renovate the pool, the Board and its volunteers thought about how to fence off the pavilion and bathroom from the pool in a way that enables use of those spaces without concerns for people getting into the pool area and thus requiring life guards. Once the pavilion and bathroom were fenced off from the pool, additional seating and recreational space could be created.  Appealing landscaping, lighting, and architectural elements were envisioned to create a pleasant space where larger events could be held and which would increase the quality of the community. 

Based on homeowner feedback, the Board and its volunteers plan to further explore how to best create this enhanced space.  Options to incorporate spaces for children and adults will be evaluated.  If you would like to join the volunteer team for this project, please email Ronald at Crest Management ( ronaldt@crest-management.com ).

The HOA appreciates your patience as the team puts together plans and options. The Board will be communicating the activities, plans and timing through the HOA webpage (https://greentrailstwo.com/) and Facebook page with opportunities for homeowner input. 

Budgeting

September will start the budget season.  If you have items that you would like to see budgeted for the next year, please let your committee leads know (see committees) and/or send a note to Heather at Crest and/or attend the meeting in September to inform the Board.
