We will also be receiving profit sharing every quarter estimated at $4,000 per year for the length of the contract. We also have Direct TV as the other provider for TV/Internet/Phone.

Pet’s Etiquette Guide

Picking up your pet’s waste promptly is an important responsibility held by all pet owners. If not addressed, the presence of unattended waste can quickly become a major point of conflict amongst neighbors. In fact, it happens to be the single-most talked about problem in homeowner associations and community manager board meetings across the country.

Managing pet waste takes an entire community. Here are some simple tips for both pet owners and non-pet owning residents alike to help keep pet’s waste from bringing our community down:

Keep an eye out. If you notice pet waste accumulating in certain areas, let your community manager know about it. These are called “hot spots” and they tend to attract more waste the longer they go unaddressed.

When taking your dog for a walk, always keep a couple of pickup bags with you. Even if you don’t expect your pet to go, you never know. It may also be that you bump into a neighbor who has forgotten a bag of his or her own and will appreciate the gesture.

If you forget a bag and your dog does do his business, don’t forget about the waste, too. Head to the nearest trash area for a bag, then go back and pick it up.

So what’s the big deal?

Keeping this waste off the ground is not just about being considerate to your neighbors and their lawns – it’s also about protecting the environment, your family and the community.

Dog waste is more than just a gross and unsightly mess. In 1991, it was labeled a non-point source pollutant by the Environmental Protection Agency, placing it in the same category as herbicides and insecticides; oil, grease and toxic chemicals; and acid drainage from abandoned mines. According to the EPA, two or three days worth of droppings from a population of about 100 dogs can contribute enough bacteria to temporarily close a bay and all watershed areas within 20 miles to swimming and shell fishing.

Unattended waste can also harm your health. While many of us don’t realize it, dog waste often carries bacteria, worms and other parasites that can be transmitted directly to humans and make them sick. Ringworm, roundworm, salmonella and giardia are examples of such bacteria, all of which are found in dog feces and are easily transferable upon contact. Roundworm, for example, is one of the most common parasites found in dog droppings and it can remain infectious in contaminated soil and water for years.
