WEATHERSFIELD HOMEOWNERS AND RESIDENTS

As was recently shared on the WSG website, Ruppert Landscape will begin its fall and winter general maintenance in WSG starting on:

Wednesday, November 24, 2021, and Monday, December 06, 2021

Maintenance on these two days includes leaf removal and general turf maintenance. Mowing will be done on an as needed basis. Please mark your calendars for these dates and please refrain from putting out brown paper leaf bags or other yard debris until the night before, or the day of, routine maintenance on these dates.

Starting in December, Ruppert will spot prune and begin preparing beds for mulch as well as general cleanup and maintenance.

To reiterate:

Ruppert recently completed aeration and overseeding on the grass on both sides of the Weathersfield road and the right side of Swim and Croquet to the T-junction at Village Way on November 12, 2021. For the grass to germinate over the fall and into the spring: (1) please do not park vehicles on the grassy edges along these roads and (2) notify contractors or other visitors not to park on the grass.

It would be appreciated if all residents are mindful of keeping WSG clean and beautiful over the coming months. Thank you.

Additional dates will be forthcoming. Please check the Weathersfield website, www.weathersfieldsg.org for upcoming dates.

Governance

Annual General Meeting Results

The Weathersfield Service Group VI ballots from the mail-in Annual General Meeting have been tabulated separately by Mill House and the Board Secretary.  Out of a total of 104 possible votes (one vote per household), 76 were received, exceeding the necessary quorum of 63 (60% of all households as specified in the Covenants, Article IV, Section 5).  The results follow.
    • The three candidates running for the three open Board Director seats also received the most votes:  Steve Krasnow (74 votes), Larry Layton (74 votes), David Spencer (76 votes).  There was one write-in nomination, but the person named is not interested in board membership.  The new slate of directors and officers will take effect on November 6 after a special meeting in which board roles will be determined.
    • As required by our Covenants (Article IV, Section 3), a two-thirds majority of those households voting was needed to pass the requested monthly fee increase of $25.  Out of 76 votes cast, there were 65 yes votes and 11 no votes for a total of 86% in favor.  The measure passes and the fee increase will take effect in January, 2022.
A separate notice on responses to homeowner questions will be sent this week.

New Start Date: Aeration and Overseeding

NEW START DATE:  Ruppert Landscape will begin aeration and overseeding of all grassy areas on both Common Areas and private property (up to the HVAC) on Thursday, October 21, weather permitting.

Aeration: Compacted soil prohibits three vital elements lawns and grassy areas need (water, nutrients, oxygen) from reaching the root system. Core aeration will allow these elements to penetrate the root zone, improving growing conditions and thereby reducing run off and making fertilizer application more effective.

Overseeding: Turf areas can be supplemented and enhanced by overseeding (broadcast spreading) of lawn and grassy areas with a blend of Tall Fescue and Bluegrass, depending on the type of green that exists.
