Under ordinary circumstances, rather than call a Board member about a missed pick up, please call the disposal service directly yourself at 816-380-5595. However, in the event that the problem has become a recurrent one, or is of an unusual nature (discourteous behavior, etc.) please contact us at once!

Meetings

Meetings of the Morningview Homes Association are open to all homeowners and residents. They are held the second Tuesday of February, April, September and November. The meetings start at 7:00 PM and are held at the Westbrooke Christian Church 9777 Antioch.

Nominations for officers and board members are accepted at the September meeting. In November we elect the officers, board members, decide on the trash carrier for the following year, and set the dues assessment for the following year.

Watch for the Morningview News in your mailbox for information on our speakers.

Assessments

Each November the Morningview Homes Association meets and sets the amount of the assessment for the following year. The majority of the dues go to pay for trash service for the subdivision. The assessment is due on February 1st and is considered late after February 7th. For those who have not paid their assessment the bylaws of the association allow for a lien for the unpaid portion to be placed against the home, in addition to terminating the trash service. (In order to obtain our discount on trash service we must contract for all 456 homes in the subdivision.) The bylaws also allow for late fees to be assessed if the Board of Directors so directs.

"Home for sale" and "Garage Sale" Signs

When looking for that perfect spot to advertise your sale please take that extra minute or two to politely request permission from the owner of the property before you erect your sign. Aside from the fact that it is the neighborly thing to do, Overland Park ordinance requires it! Your signs should be functional, attractive, and structurally sound. Be sure to return to the scene and remove your sign when it has outlived its' usefulness.

Our Morningview Deed Restrictions place a maximum 2'x3' limit on the size of your sign. By Overland Park ordinance signs are not to be posted on any traffic control standards, telephone poles, electric light, power, or other utility poles.
