Sandy Stewart, 649 Augusta Drive, stated everyone supports composting but what is offered is not easy and not effective We need to know costs and benefits of a composting program. It needs to be thoughtful, not a knee-jerk program. The homeowners are in favor of keeping the program they have. Gene Kutscher, 637 Augusta Drive, also in the Coal Creek Ranch HOA; stated the composting numbers are misleading and the costs do make a difference to those on a fixed income He stated adding a compost care may cause him to violate the HOA covenants if he can't fit another waste cart in his garage.
