Who is in Charge of the General Assembly?

 
  • The GA is governed by a Board of Governors and the Declarations & Rules & Regulations for New Town.
    • The Districts are governed by their governing documents and their Board of Directors. Resident elections are handled according to those documents.
    • The violation process is clearly identified within the governing documents. Many homeowners have extenuating circumstances and the GA does its best to work with the residents to resolve their violation issues. However, according to the GA attorney, due process must be given.
 

How Do I Report a Violation of the Homeowner Rules and Regulations?

 

  • The violation process is handled by the GA – The GA sends a “friendly reminder” letter to the homeowner advising of the violation, what must be done to remedy the violation and the number of days to be completed. This letter has been changed over the last year to be less aggressive, but still contain the needed language to be upheld in Court if the need arises.
    • If the violation is not remedied, a second letter is sent advising that the violation remains and a hearing may be called.
    • If the resident still makes no contact with the GA or does not remove the violation, a hearing date is set.
    • If the violation is still in place on the date of the hearing, the hearing is held by the Property Manager, Town Architect and resident with the violation. Fines are determined at this hearing.
    • Many times residents may remove a violation (for instance, a trash can), only to repeat the violation several months later.
    • Town Architect works with the GA in determining violations, fines, etc.
    • The GA tries to work with all homeowners to remedy violations especially when extenuating circumstances are involved.
 

What is the New Town Trust? How is it Funded?

 
  • The New Town Trust provides entertainment to the NT Community (concerts, festivals, movies, etc.).
    • Homeowner assessments DO NOT fund the Trust.
    • The New Town Trust is funded by the TAD, and re-sale fees of 0.2% when a home sells from a previous owner, along with private donations.
    • The Trust has its own Board of Directors and is NOT governed by the GA. The Trust Board appoints the Event Committee members.

Snow Removal Information

 

The City plows the following alleys during every snow in New Town:

  • North Canal Way alley – west of Canal St. between Hempstead St. and North New Town Ave.
  • South Canal Way alley – west of Canal St. between South New Town Ave. and Arpent St.
  • Hempstead Place alley – south of Hempstead St. west of Canal St.

The remaining alleys in New Town, as well as other City alleys, are not always plowed with every event.
