Newsletters

January Newsletter

Hey Trailheaders!  Here is a quick newsletter for the month of January.  Also included in this months newsletter is the latest neighborhood roster and the 2014 budget.

General Items

  • Remember to take down your holiday decorations, they should be down within two weeks of the start of the new year (1/15/2014).
  • Please remember that there is no overnight parking permitted in the street.  Please park in your driveway or a parking pad.
  • This quarters updated roster is included.  Please note if you wish to add/remove/change information or privacy preferences to fill out a privacy & information form which can be found on the website.
  • In regards to snow removal on drives, remember that the contractor will not plow drives that have cars parked on them.  This is a liability concern to the contractor.
  • Remember that city snow ban rules apply to our neighborhood as well.  When a snow ban is in effect there is no parking permitted in the streets.
  • A reminder that the following triggers are in place for snow removal in our community.  1″ on the main roads and 2″ on the drives.  This means that the contractor will remove snow/de-ice at 1″ on our streets but will not plow driveways until at least 2″ of snowfall occurs.
  • Due to the limited space in our community to store snow our contractor will push driveway snow into resident yards.  It is part of our contract come spring time however that the contractor repairs all damage done to yards due to this.
  • Residents please remember to bring in your trash containers by 7:00 PM after collection.

Financial News

  • Year end financials are in progress and will be distributed to residents upon their completion.
  • Included with this newsletter is the 2014 budget approved by the board.  Many things have changed over the last year in our finances.  As our community grows our costs increase. The board worked very hard to maintain our currents dues of 145.00 per home for 2014.
  • The board has increased the monthly capital contribution per home from 10.00 to 15.00.  This is the first step in insuring that we have capital for future items such as our road.
  • The budget was made possible only because of the competitive bid process for our grounds management.  Without this change we were facing a 25-35% increase in dues.
  • The final page of the budget shows you where your dues go each month.
  • If you have questions about this years budget please feel free to contact the board.

Landscaping & Design

  • If you have an upcoming design or landscape project for the springtime you may consider getting your request in during the winter so that the approval process does not hold up your project!
  • Remember if you are planning landscaping or architectural/design changes to submit a landscaping or design form to the respective committee.  All forms are available on the website.  When you fill them out you can drop them off to the committee chair in person or email them to landscaping@trailheadvillage.com or design@trailheadvillage.com and make sure to read the rules and regulations to see what is and isn’t permitted in the neighborhood.  Please remember that the review process can take up to 21 days to complete.
