HOA Dues For 2006

Posted by rbutler on Wednesday, December 28 @ 1:02pm

As most everyone should be aware by now, HOA dues for 2006 have been increased to $230 from the previous $180, a difference of $4.17 per month.

None of us like to see our expenses go up, but the Maxwell Creek Homeowners Association, to remain viable and able to serve our community, must have the funds to do so on a current basis and build a contingency fund for ongoing as well as unforseen expenses. Right now, the Association is operating very close to the nub, with very little money in reserve.

For the past several years, to save money, the Board has tried to self-manage the Association, and has done a most creditable job. Board members have served without pay while working full time, (with little or no help from the membership or volunteers) and the responsibilities have become overwhelming. As a result, we are now in the process of hiring a Management Company to assume responsibility for the day-to-day workings of the Association.

All members of the Association were alerted to the necessity of an increase, in writing, in advance of membership meetings, and in the in the 3rd quarter newsletter. Unfortunately, at this time we are not equipped to handle credit card payments. As indicated in the letter that accompanied the statements, accounts are not considered delinquent until February 28.

Several Recent Area Crimes

Posted by rbutler on Wednesday, December 1 @ 4:27pm

This is a notice to everyone that there have been several recent crimes (burglary and theft) throughout the neighborhood, on Woodstream, Briarhollow, and Elm Spring. In two of the cases, vehicles parked on the street were broken into. We strongly encourage everyone to park their cars in their garages, and to immediately report any suspicious activity to the police.

Neighborhood Garage Sale Results

Posted by rbutler on Wednesday, June 4 @ 12:00am

From all reports, the neighborhood garage sale last weekend was a complete success! Thanks to everyone who participated -- we had over 25 families, and we've heard several reports of homes bringing in several hundred dollars each! Some of the great comments that were heard from shoppers was how wonderful it was to have all the homes concentrated in a smaller area, as well as how many people had seen the advertising placed in the paper by the HOA.
