Thanks you,

The company that provides trash collection services for the City of Meridian, have indicated that their preference is for trash cans to be placed in the gutter. 

So the answer is that trash cans are to be placed in the gutter on collection day, and remember after the trash is collected the cans need to be removed from the street an placed behind a fence or out of sight.

The U.S. Department of Justice reports that 16.6 million adults were victimized by ID theft in 2012 and many incidents go unreported.
You can keep you accounts safe with these tips:

1. Have a locking mailbox or use a post office box. 
   
2. Never carry your Social Security card. Keep it in a safe place at home. Protect the card and card numbers because they are keys to your banking and credit information. 
   
3. Set up a pass code on your smart phone. 
   
4. Limit personal information that comes by mail. 
   
5. Never leave information in your car. According to an AARP survey, 19 percent of Americans 18 to 49 admitted to leaving a wallet or purse in their locked car during the past week. 
   
6. Shred documents that contain personal information: bank and credit card statements, tax forms and medical bills. 
   
7. Keep computer passwords in a safe place, not your Internet browser. When throwing away an old computer, remove and destroy the hard drive. 
   
8. Establish online accounts with the three credit reporting agencies, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Most Americans don't have online access to their accounts with these credit bureaus. 
   
9. Keep only necessary credit, debit and identification cards in your purse or wallet. Store photocopies of your wallet contents in a safe place. 
   
10. Never give credit card or Social Security numbers over the phone unless you initiated the call. Ask phone solicitors to send information by mail if you are interested in their products. 
    

Per our Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs), Article 4.22, "All dogs outside the home or outside the Lot fence must be leashed. Pets shall not be allowed in the Common Areas unless leashed"

The following was provided by one of our residents last week.
"Today, as I drove by the irrigation pond, I saw two women with their dogs off leash throwing balls into the irrigation pond for retrieval.  The site is clearly posted as to keeping pets on a leash.  Additionally, our irrigation pond is a wonderful site for wildlife.  Unfortunately, a mother duck was killed a couple of weeks ago (and it appeared to be by a dog) and left 8 baby ducks orphaned.  We are now down to 3 babies.  I find it personally abhorrent that individuals neither choose to obey the city's leash laws nor care about our subdivision rules and wildlife.  I certainly spoke up and told the ladies to get their dogs back on a leash.  As a community, what can we do about this?" ...redacted...  "Is there any way to protect our ducks and geese and stop this kind of flagrant abuse?  Thank you for your consideration. -- redacted

We appreciate everyone's help in making our community a safe, desirable, and attractive place to live.
