2020 Pool Opening Postponed

Due to COVID-19 restrictions per the City of Grand Prairie and concern for the health and safety of our members we will not be opening the Pool for Memorial Day, 2020.

At this time, we do not have a projected opening date for the Pool. 

Dog Feces on Common Property

I was taught to have respect and consideration for other people, including picking up after my dogs.  I have noticed many people walking their dogs on common property and walking away after the dog leaves a present in the grass.

It has gotten totally out of hand and there is a LOT of dog poop on property now.  Kids are out playing and step in it, our guys are mowing and repairs and step in it and unless something happens soon to alleviate this issue, there is a possibility that the Board may limit the areas of common property where dogs are allowed.

There is a property on the West side, facing Belt Line, where you cannot step on the grass without stepping in dog poop. GP Animal Services have been notified.  As a reminder to all:

Office Hours

As of today, our Office hours will return to normal, Monday – Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM.

We still ask people to maintain their distance if they need to come into the Office.

Payments can be put into the drop box. Work orders can be emailed in to office@gpmcha.org

Office Hours Changed

The Office is staffed Monday, Wednesday,and Fridays from 8 AM to 5 PM.  The door is locked for health reasons and payments can be put into the drop box. If you need to put in a work order, email the request to  office@gpmcha.org or you can call the Office or leave a message; Sometimes Terry is away from her desk doing other things, so leave a voice message.  Both Terry and I are in the high risk group and we are protecting our health, as should all of you.

If things change we will notify you, but for now, the Office will be operating on reduced hours. Maintenance personnel will still be maintaining the property, so please remain a minimum of 6 feet from them.

Thanks

Excessive Speeds on Property

We have been noticing that many people, residents and visitors alike, are driving through the property way too fast. Kids are out of school until the Fall, probably, and people are out walking and riding their bikes while we all try to stay home and stay healthy.

I have seen it all too often, some drivers are doing at least 40 MPH (maybe more), which is entirely too fast. We installed speed bumps in an effort to slow people down, but the result is some drive faster so they cannot feel the speed bumps.  This is totally unsafe, unacceptable and damages the speed bumps. The bolts holding them in place are being sheared off.

The posted speed limit on property is 10 MPH for a reason. There are many blind corners here, including carports, and kids playing in and around our streets while they cannot go to school.

Please slow down when driving our streets.

UPDATE – 2020 Annual Membership Meeting Postponed

The Board has decided to postpone the Annual meeting (March 27) and the April 2nd regular Board meeting due to the current situation with state, county and city closures.  The next scheduled meeting is on June 4th and hopefully normalcy will return by then. If not, we will keep you advised.

We will be placing notices on each property early next week so everyone is aware of the postponement.
