Election Results Are In…
Spoiler, there is no results. Why? Because for the 2nd time this year, we did not meet quorum. So what does that mean? Basically, it means those of us still on the board, are still on the board. Now, I know that you know that I, Jason Etzel, your President, wasn’t re-running. I have spent 6 years on as President and my free time just isn’t what it used to be. That being said, I have heard personally from residents and some by word of mouth that many of you were happy with me as President. Which is great! That…

Community Concerns
On our last post we said, we are committed to improving the community but we can’t do that alone. We have added things which have been damaged or have been complained about to the city and were forced to remove. These include the message board, which we had thoughts of bring it back, but it seems we have individuals are want to ensure we can’t have nice things and destroy them. We added those signs which informed the community of this website and had to remove them. Though we are working with the city on replacements. We have graffiti on…

Wall Repairs & Painting
By now most of you should have noticed that the community walls have been repaired where needed, and all walls have been painted or re-painted as the case may be. Repairs include walls that had cracks or small holes, larger cracks or openings, walls that have failing foundations or support issues, were leaning out or have blocks missing or broken. We also found some pipes sticking out of walls where possibly residents have water leaking/coming through which can lead to more foundation issues in the future. Basically, if we found an issue, it was corrected. These were long over due…

Community Yard Sale & Banners
Last we didn’t get the banners up on time like we had wanted to. We apologize for this and we wanted to extend the community yard sale event to this weekend as well. We have purposely left the banners up this whole week to help advertise the event. Rain? Yes, most likely it will rain this weekend again. So keep that in mind and use any canopies you have or leave everything in your garages and just have the door open, to show off your goods. The event is from Friday, Nov 21st through Sunday, Nov 23rd. We do always…

Now for the parks… While it may seem fun to take a boat or other water craft out into the park, we must insist that you do not do so. It’s unlawful and someone could get…
