• We contracted with Alarmtechs to install 12 security cameras for the recreation areas.
• Aggressive Waste who is our trash pick up contractor, announced at the meeting that they will be sending out recycling sticker for one of your trash containers in the near future with the water bill. See their website for more detail. www.aggresivewaste.com
• Security reports that our attack on crime is doing very well but still needs your help by reporting sightings to this website.
• There are many plans for projects in action, please come to the meeting to hear more.
• Please keep your animals on a leash, many residents are ready to take action on dogs that are not on a leash and running loose while they are trying to walk the streets without conflict from unleashed animals.
• More updates to come.

7/18/2010: Update

The Board would like to thank everyone that came to the last HOA meeting, we had 60 plus people. Communication is the key between home owners, the board and CAM.  Without it nothing would get accomplished.  Everyone brought great ideas and questions to the meeting.   If you are interested in volunteering for a committee, please email the board. We all have a vested interest in the neighborhood and it shows. With a combination of affordable housing, great schools and a nice recreational park we all have been attracted to this area and would like to maintain or increase the value of all and together we can. Your voices have been heard. The following is a list of improvements we have made since May:

v  Since bringing the monthly meeting  back to the pool, homeowner attendance has increased from approximately 20 to 60 plus within 2 meetings. We hope this increases every time.

v  Questions presented at the past 2 meetings from the home owners:

Ø  What happened to the Newsletter?

ü  The news letter was a budget cut.  A more cost effective way to produce and deliver the news letter is being explored.

Ø  Security?

Ø  Pool hours and Tags?

ü  Pool hours have been increased to 6 days a week.

Ø  Pedestrian traffic from Whispering Pines?

ü  Anyone having trouble please start by calling the Principle at the school and then the district if you are not satisfied.

Ø  Recycling?

Pool tags will be available all summer long!!!!!! If you have questions on where and how to pick them up, Please call CAM @ 281-852-115

Are you a "stay-at-home Mom/Dad" who would like to help out in your community?? We are looking for generous volunteers to help out at the pool desk this summer. Anyone interested or in need of further information should send a EMAIL THE BOARD and one of us will gladly get back to you.

SIGNS…. Garage sale or signs of any type are prohibited in our subdivision by not only our deed restrictions but also the State Litter Laws. This includes stop signs, esplanades, street light poles, or even your yard. All signs will be removed and the owners will be fined $50.00 per occurrence.

MAINTENANCE FEES…. Fees were due JANUARY 31, 2010. If you have not paid your maintenance fees, you should do so immediately. Failure to pay your fees will not only prohibit your use of the pool and tennis courts, it will cost you a lot more in the long run. Accounts not paid in full will be turned over to our attorney for collection.

　

　

PLEASE HELP KEEP OUR NEIGHBORHOOD CLEAN!!!

 

The litter along our streets and esplanades is getting out of hand.  Please refrain from throwing trash out of your vehicles or allowing debris to fly out of the back of your pick-up trucks.  Parents please ask your children to be courteous of our neighborhood and others while walking home and refrain from littering our streets.
