What is the proposal process like?

CoPS inspects the community to select or verify pet waste station and trash can locations, then usually provides a detailed proposal within 72 hours of receiving the request for proposal.

What does pet waste station service include?

Service includes USDA Certified Biobased dog waste bags and can liners, waste pickup around each station, station inspection, repair reporting, and removal of collected waste from the property.

Does CoPS on Doody require a long-term contract?

No. The community signs the proposal, and service continues until CoPS receives written notice from a community representative.

Will the community receive a service completion notice?

Yes. Communities may choose to receive an email or text notification when service is complete.

Are CoPS on Doody team members background-checked and insured?

Yes. CoPS states that every team member is background-checked before working on a property and that the company carries commercial liability insurance.

The Budget Gets Approved. Then What?

The budget gets approved in one meeting, and momentum stalls before the next one.
No one remembers who was supposed to own which initiative.
There's no record of what's done, what's stalled, and what's next.
By next budget season, the board is answering the same questions it already approved.

None of that is an approval problem. Communities rarely struggle to approve a budget. It's a follow-through problem, and it shows up the same way after every budget season.

What happens after approval

Approval isn't the finish line. Execution is.

Most communities approve a budget, then track progress the same way they tracked the ideas beforehand — informally, if at all. What's usually missing is a simple system for turning approved line items into assigned work.

The action plan confirms every approved initiative, assigns an owner and supporting partners, breaks the work into milestones with target dates, and gives your board a one-page dashboard to review each quarter.

It also includes a year-end review, so lessons learned this year actually shape next year's budget instead of getting lost.

Once every initiative has an owner and a quarter, the board conversation moves from "did we approve this" to "here's where we stand."

Inside the action plan

Four steps, from approved budget to tracked results

Step 01

Confirm approved priorities

List every initiative the board approved this budget cycle, along with the budget amount and target completion date.

Step 02

Assign responsibility

Identify who owns each initiative and which partners are supporting it, so nothing stalls for lack of a clear owner.

Step 03

Establish milestones

Break each initiative into manageable steps with target dates, so progress is visible before the deadline arrives.

Step 04

Review progress every quarter

Use the built-in quarterly review and board dashboard to track status, flag what's stalled, and report progress in minutes.

Includes a one-page board dashboard, so every initiative already has an owner, a status, and a budget next to it before the meeting starts.

How it works

Three steps. No sales call attached.

Step 01

Fill in the form

Name, work email, your community, and your role. That is the whole ask.

Step 02

The PDF lands in your inbox

Print it, or bring it straight into your next board or planning meeting.

Step 03

Update it every quarter

Every approved initiative gets an owner, a status, and a quarterly check-in your board can see.

One form. One PDF.
