The purpose of the association is to maintain the integrity of the neighborhood by maintaining the common areas such as the park and skating pond. These amenities and simple regulations create tremendous value to your home for a very low cost. The Association also creates a greater sense of community that makes a neighborhood more desirable.
The Association does not handle behavior problems and/or individual neighbor disputes unless it has to do directly with Association property or if there is a violation of the Association Covenants. If you are experiencing vandalism or any other criminal like acts. Contact the Rockland Police.
Any of the board members can help you.

No. If we are happy with the current service and the cost is close to the previous year, we simply renew with whomever we are using. It is a great deal of time and effort to get bids from a company. A new company would have to learn the routine and have to be closely monitored for at least a year to insure all the work was being done properly. We would only do this work again if the current service began offering poor quality service and/or increased the costs substantially.
You can, but the Board requests that neighbors contact the board first. In most cases we can address these concerns ourselves.
No. Although we pay to maintain the park, it is clearly stated in our covenants that the public is allowed to use the park but must abide by any rules or regulations that the Association establishes.
