Welcome and Thanks

Thank you to everyone who has paid their 2026 dues. So far, 166 homeowners have paid — a substantial improvement. We’ve also welcomed 12 new residents since January.

Annual Meeting

We held our annual meeting in May. Thank you to everyone who attended — it was great to meet some of the people living in our neighborhood. The biggest topics we discussed were getting our dues collected in a timely manner and the irrigation issues we would be facing this spring.

4th of July 250th Celebration

We had a great turnout for our 4th of July 250th celebration contest. Thanks to all who participated! Congratulations to our four lucky winners, each received a 250th Eagle blanket – It was no cost to the HOA. 

Collection Progress

Since the June 1st due date, we have collected 166 payments in a short period of time. We currently offer check or PayPal. Collecting dues is one of the most time-consuming aspects of running an HOA. Therefore, a $25 per month late fee will be charged on unpaid accounts until the balance is paid in full. This late fee applies to all delinquent accounts except those on approved payment plans. If you are unable to pay right now and need some time, please reach out to discuss setting up a payment plan to avoid late fees.

Irrigation System Update

The irrigation system in the green space was poorly maintained, which led to several issues. This year we replaced a cracked backflow shut-off valve, a non-working controller, and some solenoid valves. We’re now working to locate a slow leak. Because the system lacks a master shut-off valve, we can’t simply turn off the water pressure to the lines while it’s not running, making the leak harder to control and find. Our options include installing a master shut-off valve in the sprinkler system or trying to isolate the leak’s location. Until then, we’ll continue manually watering the grass, which may look a little brownish in spots. Once the system is fully operational, we’ll start working on the flower beds. Repairing it properly now will prevent wasting water and protect our funds going forward. I was also able to trim up some of the trees and remove dead branches in the green space, but with the heat I’ve paused that work and will get back to it when the weather cools. We’ll keep you updated on our progress.”

Community Reminders

We’ve received complaints about work trucks with trailers parked in the street, overgrown grass, and trash not being removed in a timely manner. Homeowners have been advised of the violations and reminded of the rules. Keeping the streets clear of large vehicles with trailers helps provide safety for the children in our neighborhood. Please continue to alert us to any concerns so we can keep our neighborhood looking its best.
