We have received reports that some teenage kids were trying to climb the pool fence in the past few days. We need to remind everyone that if you climb the fence while the pool is closed, you can be banned for the year or permanently, at our discretion.
We were also told these same kids were throwing rocks into the pool, which we did verify when we pulled several rocks out of the pool. This will also get you banned for the year. We are working to identify these kids.
The Office will be closed at noon on Friday, May 20th. We will reopen on Monday at 8 AM.

Barbara Eden, long time and valued employee of the HOA, has passed away following a hospital stay. We were informed about her death yesterday. Ms. Eden was the Office Manager for over 20 years.
There will be a time of Visitation from 10:30AM until 11:30AM on Wednesday May 18, 2016, at Jeter & Son Funeral Home, Cedar Hill Chapel, 332 Cedar St., Cedar Hill, TX 75104.
Here’s our crew power washing and vacuuming the pool to get it ready for residents. The pool was covered for many months while the fruitless Mulberry trees put forth their caterpillar like seeds.
We will open the Pool on Memorial Day weekend, Saturday, May 28th. See the Pool Schedule posted on the site for more information. We have new pool passes for 2016 so please stop by the Office to get the new pool passes.

We had a resident come in this morning and ask why they could not use clear trash bags for trash. The front of the box of clear trash bags showed pictures of these bags filled with leaves and with empty water bottles. The main problem with these bags is not that they are clear, it is that they are meant for leaves and light materials. They are not very thick and the seams are not well sealed. They are perfectly suitable for leaves; we do prefer a heavier gauge trash bag for general trash usage.
We have residents here who repeatedly load up the clear leaf-type bags with about 30 pounds of trash; the result is these bags tear open and we have to clean up the streets or the front of the compactor. This is why they were mentioned in the latest Notice sent out to all addresses. This same phrasing has been used in the previous Notice sent out in November 2105, which said:
Please do not use clear leaf bags for trash; they are made for leaves and will tear open if used for trash. Regular trash bags are preferred, tied/secured properly. Contractor bags are too big.
The April 2016 Notice that just went out says exactly the same thing as in November 2015. It asks to please not use clear leaf bags. It does not prohibit the use of clear leaf bags as such.

I saw 2 trucks last Saturday, installing cable to a property on the East side. I noticed they both left and did not pick up the empty spool and just left it on the grass next to the house. What bothers me more than an empty spool is how they did this install. (See the photos below) This cable runs across 2 sidewalks leading to someone’s front door…. Time Warner has a really bad habit of these types of install; we have been trying to get them to bury cables for the past 2 years, cables that also run across common property and across sidewalks.
We had a report today of someone going door to door around East Mountain Lane telling people that they work for the HOA and were there to clean or check out the A/C ducts inside the property. The homeowner did not believe this story and as soon as the homeowner said they were calling the HOA Office, this person hastily left. We did call the Police and they contacted the homeowner for more details. We do not do work on the inside of the townhouses and we certainly do not work on A/C ducts.
We have also had some reports of individuals walking around the subdivision checking to see if cars are locked or not.
If you see suspicious people wandering around the subdivision, please call the Police!
