Happy Halloween from your Homeowner’s Association! The Homeowner’s association is thrilled that our open Board seat is now filled and we would like to welcome our newest member, Edwin Ramon. Mr. Ramon has lived in Arbor Greene for approximately four years. He has a management background and brings to the Board experience in working in an effective team, communication skills and dedication. We would also like to welcome Xiomara Ramon to our Design Review Board. We are excited to have Xiomara join the DRB and share her ideas. We know Edwin and Xiomara will be an asset to each of our Boards and are looking forward to working together for the betterment of the community. As Halloween approaches at the end of the month, please remember the safety of our neighborhood children is of the upmost importance. For those residents who are passing out candy, please make sure your outside area is well lit and clear of any debris that children may trip over. Restrain pets so they do not inadvertently jump on and bite children. Although the speed limit on our streets is 25mph, on Halloween night let’s all slow down and be extra careful of children crossing the street. Turn car headlights on early so children can see you coming. Just a reminder for residents decorating for the holiday, installation of decorations should be no earlier than 6 weeks before the holiday and removal within 3 weeks after. Have a fun and safe holiday. The success of our HOA benefits all of us since home values are directly linked to location. The more desirable the location, the higher the home values and the faster homes sell. An effective HOA will insure a high standard for all homes, maintaining or lifting the home values for everyone. Arbor Greene is an excellent brand in local real estate, and our HOA is committed to achieving that continued excellence. If you have a desire to get involved and want to volunteer or have any suggestions we invite you to come join one of our meetings. The Boards meet the fourth Tuesday of every month.

Trash in the Street or Contractor Waste in the Drains? It Doesn’t Just Go Away. Arbor Greene has 36 ponds and the ponds are beginning to recover from the effects of the prolonged drought due to the recent rainfall. The recovery will be slow. With water now covering what was in many cases weeds and grasses, treatment for dying noxious vegetation and resulting algae has begun. It will takes months for the ponds to fully rebalance… and the drought conditions may reoccur. Some residents and their contractors think that the street drains connect to sewage system and the contents are whisked away for treatment elsewhere. Not true. The storm water system and the sewage system are separate systems. While the sewage system that connects to our homes is pumped downtown for treatment, the storm drains empty directly, and with no treatment, into Arbor Greene ponds Trash in the Streets is Trash in the Ponds The trash that is thrown in the streets, the chemicals placed on lawns, any contractor waste from lawn chemicals to paints to rubbish - which is “dumped” in the storm drains will all wind up in Arbor Greene ponds. Some arrives immediately after the rains, some takes weeks to make its way to the ponds, all of it damages the ponds. Do Your Part 1. Never throw or allow your workmen to throw trash or chemicals into the storm drains. 2. NEVER throw animal waste in the storm drains. 3. If you see anyone dumping anything into the storm drains call the police– it is illegal! Remember the ponds are an asset to Arbor Greene and a financial responsibility for the owners. Over the next weeks the beneficial plantings in the ponds, such as the pickerel weed and pond irises should reestablish and the ponds will be restored. 7

windows and doors to allow the fresh air inside. Open or unlocked windows and doors can become an invitation to criminals. Please remember to shut and lock windows and doors when not in use. Also, please be aware of your surroundings as you increase your time outdoors, including at school related events, since criminals often look for victims who are distracted or unaware of who is near them. We hope you enjoy the cooler weather while maintaining the security of your family and property. Don’t forget Halloween is on the 31st and many Arbor Greene (AG) children will be out “trick or treating” and, despite

before crossing streets. Parents are urged to accompany their children or ensure a responsible adult is in charge of their loved ones as they travel in AG. The Tampa Police Department (TPD) encourages children to use flashlights, glow sticks, or glow-in-the-dark costumes to increase their visibility. Please help spread the word, and let’s all be extra careful when driving on the 31st. If you want to obtain security tips and other information from
