Hello Trailhead Residents,

Here is November’s newsletter.

General Items

• A quick maintenance note to everyone. The Board is aware there are several areas throughout the neighborhood that have been worn out from vehicle traffic, specifically the turn from Trailhead to Side Saddle. The Board’s intent is to wait for construction to be completed before repairing these areas.
• The Board would like to thank all residents who participated in the survey. This gives us valuable feedback on operations in the community and aids us in our decision making process. Attached to this month’s newsletter are the summarized results of the survey.
• An updated roster is attached. Please remember if there are any typos, phone number changes, email updates, or name changes you may simply email the board with the update. If you are updating what information you wish to be displayed we will need a new Information Submission form filled out from the website.
• The Board has scheduled crack filling for our road. We will notify the community prior to this maintenance occurring. Crack filling is a vital part of the long term maintenance of our road. It protects our road from water/ice damage through the winter months by filling cracks in the road with tar. However typically tar is worn away over time from traffic and therefore has to be reapplied every year or so.
• The pond fountain will be turned off and put away before the end of the month.  It will be put back out in early spring.

 

Financial Items

• Q3 Financials are attached. Finances are in line with the budget. The difference between the budget and actual expenses is due to an accounting change with our wall. This item was reclassified as a capital expense.
• The Board is finalizing the 2015 budget and will have it completed by the beginning of December.
• The Board anticipates a dues increase for 2015 of approximately 10%. Keep in mind this is the first dues increase since January 2008. All residents will receive official notification in December with the new amount and further details

 

Rules and Regulations

• Residents are reminded to be mindful of their speed when driving in the community. We have had several complaints in regards to people driving too fast throughout the community.

• A reminder that seasonal flowers need to be removed as winter approaches. In addition hose reels should be put away.
• As a reminder, since elections are here, there are no political signs allowed in the community.

• With the holidays around the corner we would like to remind everyone that holiday lighting cannot be on prior to Thanksgiving.

Landscaping & Design

• Remember if you are planning landscaping or an architectural/design change you must 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.
