The 2018 Painting schedule is 2 thru 54 West Creek Lane, and 1 thru 69 West Mountain Creek Drive. This is a total of 62 townhouses.
We do required repairs, then notify residents prior to power washing so they can move things away from the house.

Lately,we have been sending out a lot of Warnings to properties that place their trash bags out the night before trash pickup days. To some, this seems rather innocuous. But in the grand scheme of things, it merely invites critters to tear open these trash bags and scatter thrash everywhere. This is why we do not want trash sitting out over night. This is also a rule of the HOA.
The forms we send out also tell residents that they can put trash out the night before ONLY if it is in a tightly lidded non-metallic trash can. This does not mean you can put one or two bags in the trash can and then surround it with 10 more plastic trash bags. All bags must be inside the trash can, or you can set these bags out in the morning.
It is a big deal when we have to stop and gather up the scattered trash when people do not follow the rules. It is also a health and safety hazard, something for which we can issue fines without notice.
Below is what the City of Grand Prairie has posted on the Nextdoor website: (emphasis added by me)
Keep Wildlife in the Wild
It’s almost spring, which means wildlife might start appearing near your home. Many types of wildlife are attracted to our yards because food is plentiful and easy to obtain. Being aware of your potential contribution to this environment helps reduce nuisance animal incidents in your area.
• Avoid feeding wild animals, including birds. Birdseed attracts rats and other rodents, a known food source for predators like coyotes.
• Keep your pets inside and under your control at all times. An animal allowed to roam off-leash, even in your front yard, presents an easy meal for a predator.
• Secure your trash and trash cans. Don’t place trash outside overnight or the day before pickup. Keep your garbage in your garage or in a secure trash can (not plastic bags) until the morning of pickup.
• Clean your property to remove overgrowth and underbrush. This helps eliminate nesting or denning sites for wildlife.
• Pick up any fruits or vegetables at ground level; various wild animals enjoy these types of food.
