Regarding Millenium Cable : Having digital service installed is being discussed at this time. As of now the only way this can occur is if a satellite dish is placed every 5 homes, to be shared by those persons.

Cable Channel 23 will be a community based channel to be used for information and possibly advertising.Power Point will be sending someone in mid-February to train the staff.

A Rudgate budget meeting will take place this month to discuss expenditures for the coming year. Management wishes to purchase a television and have cable installed in the community building if funds are sufficient.

Regarding the Waste Management Company: If you have any complaints with the company that handles waste disposal in this community, please write a letter listing your complaints and bring it to the office. Management will see that it is delivered to the proper people. Performance reports are written weekly and the staff does check after the job is completed, to ensure that it is done correctly.

A report was given by the Grounds Operations Department . All fire hydrants were checked and the snow was removed from around them. Residents need to remember to not push snow and ice into the street while clearing thier driveways. Residents are advised to check around thier homes to be sure there is an access panel near the sewer.It is important for access panels to be near both the water and sewer lines. If Roto-Rooter needs to be called to unplug your lines they will not crawl under your home. This will then mean that siding will have to be removed in order the repair a plumbing problem. Remember to check your heat tape to make sure it is operating properly. If it is not working the freeze plate on the bottom of the water meter will break. Heat tape should be replaced every 3 years.

No soliciting is allowed within the community. If you notice someone please contact the office.
