The Audit of our 2014 financials was completed on March 30, 2015. Here is an excerpt from the independent auditor’s report:
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Grand Prairie Mountain Creek Homeowners Association, Inc. as of December 31, 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have started painting on our 2015 schedule, and the following homes will be painted:
- East Townhouse Lane, single and 2 story.
- East Creek, 2 story only
- East Mountain Creek Drive, 2 story only
- Those with enclosed garages will need to repair and paint these structures themselves. The HOA does not maintain them.
Homeowners will need to clear their back yards and next to the building so we can power wash and prepare for painting.
Below are the base and trim colors for this year. Those getting their homes painted will need to choose a trim color. If you do not choose a trim color, we will pick one.
We had a visit in the Office from a representative of Home Save Energy, a company that is doing insulation and weather-stripping on behalf of Oncor, the Utility Delivery company funding this program. If you qualify (income, etc.) you can have added attic insulation, weather-stripping on doors and caulking which will result in a lower electric bill. If you are interested, here is their contact information:
Home Save Energy, Genaro Clauidio, 469-298-8286
We do have a few of their flyers in the Office if you want one. There are other companies also doing this type of service. Here is some information from Oncor:

We have had a report of vandalism on the West side of the property, where a homeowner’s vehicle has been targeted a few times. We have contacted the Grand Prairie Police and have requested periodic patrols throughout both sides of the subdivision. The main problem we have is that we cannot control who does or does not drive through the property; while our subdivision is Private Property and is fully marked as such, it is often used for a shortcut or for people to park off of the beaten path to do whatever it is that they do.
Short of adding our own paid Security patrol, something that could result in a dues increase or a special assessment, all we can do at the moment is ask all of our homeowners to report suspicious activity to the Police. This would include loitering, frequent short-term visitors to the same property and other obviously dubious activities.
This is our home and we all need to get involved.
We are getting an early start on our 2015 painting schedule, in an effort to beat the heat. Those homes being painted this year (East Side) will get notices several days prior to painting, so they can move things out of the way that would prevent unobstructed access to the rear of your home.
