August 2025

Annual HOA Dues

Included with this years newsletter is HOA annaul dues invoicing. You will have a statement if there is a past due amount, otherwise just your annual dues invoice and or RV lot statement if applicable. There are a handful who have prepaid for this upcoming year already and you will have astatement showing that it is paid in full and zero balance. With the last couple plus years of COVID there has not been any legal action pursued on the past due accounts but now those accounts that are more than two years in arrears there will be notices sent out within the next sixty days and if no payment arrangement is made and or dues caught up, action will be taken. Stickers will be placed on your statement indicating that legal action will be taken for more than two years in arrears if your account is not caught up and or payment arrangement is made. Action will take place on these past due accounts in October. Thank you to those who did fall behind and are making payments. If you have questions about your balance and or want to make arrangements please email bookkeeping at patti0707@yahoo.com

Board News

We have had more new faces moving into the neighborhood and want to remind all that the HOA still needs a President, and or any other Board Member positions and volunteers. Please consider stepping forward to get involved, this is your neighborhood and you might be surprised that many hands make light work and there are not that many hours involved to help out. The accounting and some property management is being outsourced, along with other subcontractors ot keep things moving along.

Improvements

It is scheduled for September to get the retention pond by the Common Area cleared, we do this annually at the end of summer. The front entrance continues to be overgrown and we need to allot funds to clear old larger plants and update for appearance and safety. If you are aware of fence and or other improvements you feel are needed in the neighborhood that is being missed, please contact the Board.

RV Lot

Huge thank you to Sheila Wilson who continues to help the HOA as a volunteer with management of the RV lot. We had to recently change the key due to "passing of key" and lack of payments being made from users for the space. Please keep in mind how low of a rate $150 is for the RV storage comparable to what is out there and treat the place with respect and pay fee timely. If assigned and or consistently using same spot in lot please do not change location without checking with Sheila. RV in and out due to activity in the summer need to respect size and spot that works. We have set up a landscaper with a regular weed control schedule now instead of "on demand" hoping this consistency will help keep the lot in better shape regarding weeds.

This and That

There was interest in a neighborhood garage sale again and apologies we did not get word out earlier to do it in August but we have had success in early September in the past too. It is scheduled for FRIDAY/SATURDAY-SEPTEMBER 5/6 the weekend after Labor Day and will be advertised.

Please continue to do your best with the parking situation by being respectful of where and how you park outside your driveway. Clearly this neighborhood and driveways were built for one to two car households which is clearly not the case any longer so we have to make the best we can for safety and courtesy to fellow neighbors.

It is against the Bylaws for an RV to be parked in your driveway and or street visible permanently and or for a large amount of time, this is a constant problem and violation in our neighborhood. Consider strongly the RV lot space that we have to avoid being fined since it is against the Bylaws.

No business signs are allowed promoting your "at home" business, this is a City ordnance.

Facebook

We have a Facebook page and with social media growing we need to utilize it and keep better info and maintenance on this page, looking for a volunteer willing to help.
