Following is information on the community updates.  We’ve had some unexpected repairs such as a broken sprinkler pump and pool pump. Because of this, the Board deems it necessary to put non essential spending on hold. The updates provided are those that were already in progress and/or necessary.

Landscaping: We’ve put on hold some additional plantings that were to happen at the neighborhood entrance. Altered Scapes has applied the first of two weed prevention applications. The next one will be sometime mid to late July.
 

Pool: Right before the pool was ready to open, the pump broke. Poseidon, the pool management company, was able to replace it quickly, allowing us to open the pool on time. Additionally, the pool itself received a fresh coat of paint, and thanks to Mark Owens, resident, for donating the work and materials done to enhance the restroom floors. Not only do they look great they are functional and should last for many years.

Fountain/Waterfall: You probably have noticed that the waterfall is finally flowing. The pump was replaced with a commercial grade pump and the appropriate size for our pond. We’ve been working on the fountain in the upper pond and hope to have it in working order soon.  

Front entrance Lighting: This is one of the expenditures that the Board has chosen to put on hold.

Neighborhood Alert:  Recently some residents have reported random vandalism around the neighborhood and within the pool area/restrooms. The incidents in the pool restrooms were after hours meaning the offenders had a key. The Delaware County Sheriff department has been notified, and will increase surveillance in this area. Please keep a look out for and report any suspicious activity. If and when person(s) are caught, they will be prosecuted to the full extent and restitution will be required.  Please see our article to the left ‘Remember to lock your doors’  for some great safety tips.

Have a fun and safe summer!

Remember to lock
your doors

Recently some break-ins have been reported in the neighbor- hood. Locking cars and homes and keeping garage doors closed will help protect you from having to deal with theft.

Following are some cautionary measures you can take to minimize your risk of theft.

· Lock all doors and windows including garage and vehicle.

· Don’t store valuables in your vehicle.

· Keep entryways, pathways, stairwells, porches, yards and parking areas well lit. Mount

lights up high so light bulbs can't easily be unscrewed.

- AEPs website shows leaving front porch and coach lights on at night costs $6.66/mo.

- And if you want to reduce that, you can add motion detectors.

- Since our neighborhood does not have any lighting other than that of the homeowners, please consider leaving lights on at night.
· Keep branches and shrubs trimmed away from your home to minimize hiding places.
· Keep an eye out for suspicious activity or people in the neighborhood.
