3/1/07- Magnetic gate access cards can now be purchased from Safeguard Security (480-609-6242). The cost of each card is $5.00 (I think). Instead of entering a code on the keypad, you can simply swipe the card to open the gate. Each card will be individually programmed and is intended to replace keypad codes used for access. Use of these cards will prevent (or reduce) keypad codes from being given to third parties without authorization. "Owner" cards will be programmed for 24-hour access. "Vendor" cards will be programmed for limited access. Cards can be deactivated if the card is lost or in the possession of someone you no longer want to have access. Please consider buying cards and discontinue the use of vendor keypad codes. This should help to reduce unauthorized access to the subdivision.
2/1/07- Rossmar & Graham has replaced Parker Finch as our community manager. Chuck Myers will be our new manager.
11/21/06- The quarterly dues for 2007 are being increased from $750 to $900. This is a result of increased operating costs and the need to establish adequate reserve funds. Because our reserves are at an insufficient level, there are a number of capital improvements & repairs necessary that will require a special assessment soon to be able to pay for them. The ballots to vote on this assessment will be sent to homeowners soon.
11/21/06- There have been several cars broken into that were left outside their garages overnight. Please take the appropriate precautions. Park your car in the garage whenever possible.

In one case, the garage door opener in the car was used to open the garage and a number of valuables were then stolen from inside the garage. You may want to consider having your garage door added on to your alarm system, if you have not already done so.

Please be aware that cars exiting the subdivision should yield to cars entering the subdivision. There have been several near misses when exiting cars cut in front of entering cars. Then the entering car is forced to stop right in the path of fast moving oncoming traffic. Cars entering should not give up their right of way to cars exiting thinking they are being polite. This is one situation where being courteous is dangerous.
