3 President's Desk... Dear Members and Associates, Everyone can blame the last giant snowfall on me, I had taken my plow off my truck. I made the terrible assumption that any small snows for the rest of the spring wouldn t need to be plowed. I apologize to everyone and hope that the last of the snow is finally melting and we will be able to enjoy some spring/summer weather finally! With the melting snow comes the need for spring clean up and prep for lawn care all summer. As always if you need help with lawncare or any other maintenance aspect please consider our associate members. It is great to support the associates that support us. If you haven t heard that City of Stevens Point is moving forward with a voluntary rental inspection program. They are going to have a checklist that they will stick to and are looking for basic safety issues. You can contact the city if you have any questions, would like a copy of the list or would like to sign your properties up for inspection. There will be a published list of properties that have been certified by the City for potential tenants to check. If you have any questions don t hesitate to contact myself or any of the board members with questions. The State legislature passed some new landlord/tenant legislation in the last few weeks. We will be working on a speaker at one of the next few meetings to go over all of the changes. As soon as a synopsis is available I will post it to the Facebook page as well (if you are on Facebook and not a member of the CWAA Facebook page let me know and I can get you added. I want to thank all of our members for being a part of our association. Without each of you we would not be as good of an organization. We are always looking for new members, new associate members and board members. If you can think of anyone that would be a good fit for any of those just let me know and I can touch base with them. Noah Eschenbauch CWAA President
