Suspicious Persons and Vehicles

Lately, we have been noticing people and vehicles which do not seem to belong on our property, but I am not talking about holiday visitors. Certain areas of the property are regularly used to park off of traveled roads and these people/vehicles come here to either drink or do illegal activities. We are also having mailboxes vandalized and packages being ransacked or stolen (not just here, but in the general area) and I wonder if these suspicious persons are responsible.

Please call the Grand Prairie PD and report suspicious people and/or vehicles that you see; the Non-Emergency number is 972-237-8790 or you can call 9-1-1.

Large Item Pickup

We have a large item pickup scheduled for the West side on Thursday, December 28, 2017.

We will do the East side on January 4th, 2018.

As usual, certain items are restricted and will be on the notices we put out.

Office Christmas/New Year Schedule

The Office will be closed on Friday, December 22 and for Christmas on December 25th. We will reopen on Tuesday, December 26th as usual. We will be closed for New Years on January 1st, 2018.

With the holiday(s) falling on Monday, we will do trash pickup on Tuesday, December 26th.  The following week. we will pick up trash on Tuesday, January 2nd, 2018.

 

2018 Budget Letters

We have sent out the 2018 Budget Letters to all homeowners on November 29, 2017.  These letters contain the 2018 Budget, the cover letter and an informational notice (3 pages total). In the cover letter, we once again ask all homeowners to update their contact information and to provide proof of insurance (cost to replace), and we have had several people stop by the office to update their information.  It is imperative that we have current contact information for all homeowners.

The Board did vote to keep dues at the same amount as for 2017. However, we still have some paying the old amount of $158.00 despite repeated letters telling them they are paying the wrong amount since January 2017. We are sending out another letter informing them that we are adding interest to the amount owes, as allowed in our Governing Documents. We usually do not add interest to past due amounts but we are in this case. It is not fair to all of the other homeowners paying the correct amount to not pursue these past due amounts.

We have one Board member term expiring next year and will be taking resumes for those interested in running for that position after the first of the year (January 1, 2018). Information on how to submit a resume or other information is contained in the cover letter with the Budget.
