2. New sod on medians – Dick Clem is working on getting bids to re-sod the median areas along the beginning of Bradford Farms Drive. Doing this will greatly improve the appearance of our subdivision. STATUS: in progress
3. Property and home maintenance - please protect your investment and that of all Bradford Farms residents by making sure that home and property repairs, maintenance and upkeep are ongoing within our subdivision. Such work includes repair of broken chimneys, cracked siding, damaged fences, etc. In order to retain the prestige that our subdivision enjoys in Madison, each of us must take pride in our homes and do what is necessary to make sure their outward appearance is impeccable. If extenuating circumstances prevent anyone from being able to do this, please contact someone on the Board and we can try to work something out. Any property owner in non-compliance, per Board observation and verification photographs, will be contacted with a certified letter. STATUS: ongoing
4. Replacement bushes - Dick Clem proposed to replace a few of the bushes near the “Bradford Farms” entrance walls with bushes that are more attractive and hardier. Again, this will enhance the visual appearance of the whole subdivision. STATUS: in progress
5. Budget for 2008 – the mailing has gone out and been posted on the website
6. Christmas Decorations are in place. Thanks to those who helped.
