4)      Spring is coming -- A reminder  to all CCR residents that if you are purchasing new outdoor furniture this season, you should only purchase the approved colors which are forest, green, natural wood or black wrought-iron sets.  This will maintain conformity in the outdoor appearance of our community.  Also be reminded that no tent like fixtures are allowed.

5)      Storage Areas:  For all residents who utilize storage areas, or those who have stored items in the open areas please make sure you seasonally clean them out, especially combustible materials including mattresses, overstuffed furniture, carpet, cardboard boxes, newspapers and magazines, paint, oil, etc.  All other items must be tagged with the resident’s name, unit and current year.

6)      Please help keep our hallways clean, tidy, and fire hazard free, by not storing personal belongings in the hallways.  Porters will be removing any items found in the hallways deemed to be a fire hazard.

7)      Fuel Price:  Price per gallon on 1/05/06 was $2.01, 1/10/06 was $1.98 and 1/25/06 was $2.04.

8)      Garbage pick up will now include Sundays beginning March 5, 2006.  Please be reminded that garbage pick up is for household garbage only.  Please do not leave bulk items in the hallways for collection.  Please dispose of your bulk items at the dumpsters, or make arrangements with the staff for removal of such items.  Also note, cardboard boxes should be broken down before bringing to recycle area.

9)      Smoking:  Please be advised that there is NO SMOKING in public hallways.  We have received numerous complaints from various shareholders regarding CIGARETTE BUTTS being disposed of on the grass walkways and in the parking areas.  To those of you who smoke and are disposing of your butts in this manner, we would appreciate if you would refrain from this habit.

10)   STAR Credit:  If you have Basic STAR there is no need to apply again unless you move.  If you qualify for Enhanced STAR you must either renew your application annually, or apply for the OIV program.  The OIV program allows eligible seniors to register with the Department of Taxation and Finance to verify their income eligibility each year, so that they do not need to reapply for Enhanced STAR every year.  For more information please call 914.345.0432.  To download STAR or OIV applications please visit www.orps.state.ny.us.  The deadline to file is June 1, 2006.
