Shooting and Fireworks

Last Sunday morning there was a shooting next to our happy home.  No one in McNaughten Village was arrested or injured, which is not surprising.  We're the hole in the doughnut on every crime map on the Internet.

Text Nine-Eleven Emergency

If you need to call 9-1-1 and you're unable to talk, Franklin County (Ohio) now has an alternative. Send a text message to 911, and wait for results.  Be patient, because it may take a bit longer than you'd think.

Association Fee Increase

Our Condo Association fees are increasing!  On Monday, October 22^nd, 2018, the McNaughten Village Board of Directors voted to increase our association fees.  As of January 1^st, 2019, association fees will be:

• $161.00 for a small unit (up from $156.00)
• $177.00 for a large unit (up from $172.00)

This increase was deemed necessary to meet future capital improvement expenses.  Please note the following, as quoted from Community Policies, Guidelines, Rules and Regulations in the document The McNaughten Village Condominium Association Community Policies and Guidelines as of 5/23/2018 on Page 16 in section I. Rules Applying to the Payment of Condominium Fees:

All payments are due on the 1st of each month, but if the total amount due in any month is not paid by the 10th of the month, a late fee of $50.00 may be added to the amount due. At McNaughten Village, late fees are cumulative, which means that for each month, if any monthly payment remains unpaid, an additional late charge of $50.00 may be assessed.

Please address any comments or questions to the board of directors via email.

Misty Way Being Resurfaced

All occupants of McNaughten Village should have received one of these flyers.  It would have been taped to your front door.

Work begins at 9:00 AM and will be finished as soon as possible.  The sealant takes 24 hours to dry.

Please do not block the street while the folks at Perry's Pavement Plus are trying to seal it, and do not drive on the street while the sealer is wet.

Flyer From the Doorway

Mystery!

This morning (10/8/2018) Sandy Matthews found this sign sitting on her front porch. The sign was in a Hobby Lobby bag, but had no card or name attached to it.

Sandy and Her New Sign

Sandy thinks it may have been left by mistake, and if so she'd like the owner to come and collect it.  I opined that it was a gift from a friend who wants to remain anonymous.

If anyone knows anything about this little mystery, please don't hesitate to speak up.
