Grounds & Facilities Committee: Coming this winter to a plant near you… winter rejuvenation of trees, shrubs, and grasses. Don’t be concerned. This is intentional.
Tennis Committee: Maintenance activities recently performed at the courts include replacing burned-out LED lights and replacing two nets/cranks at the Lakeview courts. The tennis shop will be managing the coordination of all of the adult teams for ALTA and USTA competition starting this winter. If you are interested in joining an adult team in Hamilton Mill, reach out to the tennis shop. They can help you get placed on a team that matches your skill level. We are always looking to expand the reach for all residents.

PET REMINDERS
Dear Homeowners, This is a friendly reminder to all our dog owners residing in Hamilton Mill:
Remember the Good Neighbor policy and keep in mind that not everyone loves dogs, so it is up to the dog owners to present a dog that is well socialized and under control.
• UNLEASHED DOGS: We have been receiving more and more complaints about dogs not on leashes and roaming throughout the community. It is not only prohibited as stated in the community covenants, but it is in violation of the Gwinnett County ordinance. Failur e to keep your pet on a leash may result in fines assessed by the association as well as being issued a citation and fines by the county. Make sure that your pets are collared and have an identifying tag, so that if they do escape they can be returned to you.
• BARKING: Bring barking dogs into the house immediately. Remember Gwinnett County Animal Ordinance states a dog is a public nuisance if it makes vocalizations for more than fifteen minutes without interruption or more than thirty minutes if the vocalization is intermittent. Please be considerate of your neighbors and the County Noise Ordinances and keep pets inside during evening and early morning hours or during the day if they tend to bark regularly.
Here are the top 5 important reasons to dispose of pet waste:
o Disease control o Responsible pet ownership o Fly control o Make your yard more useable o Preventing stool eating
Note: It is not the Association’s job to police the dog feces in the community; this is the responsibility of the residents of the community.
IF YOU SEE A PET IN THE COMMUNITY THAT IS NOT ON A LEASH, PLEASE CONTACT GWINNETT COUNTY ANIMAL WELFARE & ENFORCEMENT at 770-339-3200 IMMEDIATELY TO MAKE A REPORT.
