c. Weeds: discussion about neighbors who have weeds still in their yards that now need to be fined. Will be sending out letters to neighbors that have just mowed down weeds that they need to spray for them and also neighbors that need to better maintain yard.  Deadline of July 7^th.  If not completed, board will have landscape company take care of it and the bill will be sent to the homeowner. Fine letter to be sent to homeowner that has continued to be a problem over the years. 
d. RV's and Trailers: send warnings to those that haven't had previously.  Fine letters have already been sent to those that received previous warning letter. 
e. Dogs: Bernice suggests that we leave dog barking problems right now as a county issue.  Have homeowners contact the county with their complaints.
f. CC&R's: Bernice is suggesting that we send out a survey to see how the neighbors feel about how the board is working and also if there are any of the CC&R’s that they would like to have changed.  Put in disclaimer that it doesn’t mean that we will change anything, just want to get an idea.  She will come up with the survey to send out to board for OK.  Jason can then send out to community. 
g. Bird damage: HOA does not maintain homes and so each homeowner needs to take care of the mud nests. Jason said that when the problem happened in his neighborhood, he scared away birds with a hose.  His neighbor just allowed the nests to be built and about 2 months later they fell off and there was no damage done to the home. 
f. A community member asked for a waiver because landscaper didn't come.  Jason to tell him that he needs to put that back on the landscaper.
g. No response from letter to neighbor with incomplete lawn.  Will continue to be fined until yard is completed. 


Jeanine motions we adjourn.  Michelle seconds.

Message from the Board

It’s June and hopefully the warm weather is here to stay.  With the warm weather come children playing outside and a few items that should be addressed.
It has been observed, while some community members have been driving, children either running out or riding their bikes in front of a car trying to carefully pass.   Parents, please teach your children to look for cars.  No matter how carefully one is driving there is nothing that can be done if a child rides or runs right in front of you.  Those of us driving need to please drive slowly and keep watch for children.
One other aspect of children out playing is that some have been breaking off branches from the trees in the parks.  These are not children from outside our neighborhood but children that live here that are doing most of this damage.  Parents please teach your children to respect other’s property and if it isn’t in your very own yard they are to leave it alone.  Some children have been picking unripe fruit from neighbor’s trees and breaking off branches of trees in the parks.  We need to make sure that we are all caring for our neighborhood and teaching our children to respect and care for our neighborhood as well.
We have a great place to live and let’s do all that we can to keep it safe and cared for.

Neighborhood Updates

We have had a new electrician come look at our street lights that have not been working along the south end of the neighborhood.  He believes there is a nick in the line somewhere since the wire was just buried rather than in conduit.  This would cause them to short anytime it gets wet.  We are hopeful that we will be able to determine if this is the cause and have it repaired. 

 Now that the weather is warmer, we are now asking the company that took care of repairing the actual gates to come and paint those to help prevent further rust.

Exiting the neighborhood

When exiting through the west gates, be aware that the sensor for this gate had been moved back further to allow more time for the gates to open from when the vehicle drives over it.  This sensor is back by the fence located on the north side of the road.  

We encourage homeowners to not pull up to the mailboxes while exiting.  However, if you choose to, you will need to back up further in order to have the gate open for you to leave the neighborhood.

2^nd Annual Neighborhood Pancake Breakfast and Cleanup

Saturday, June 21^st, 9:00 am at the South Pavilion

Bring a chair or blanket to sit on along with your appetite and enjoy getting to know the neighbors in our community!

Following the breakfast, we will be doing a cleanup of the parks as well as install the new basketball hoop!
