| Neighborhood Communications
MAIN FORM OF NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNICATION - Woodbridge HOA is going GREEN. In an effort to save the environment, money, and time, the HOA will be communicating with the neighborhood via EMAIL. We will be sending out a test email, but if you have not been receiving emails in the past, please send the email address you would like used to receive neighborhood information to galvin4387@bellsouth.net.
CLUBHOUSE PAVILION – As you can see, we are well on our way for the building of the Clubhouse Pavilion. We received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback, both at the neighborhood meeting, and from independent emails – thank you to all who voiced your views. The Clubhouse Pavilion is an asset for the entire neighborhood, and will help in the selling of homes as an added amenity. The pavilion is for those wishing to eat lunch or gather in a covered area while children are on the playground, for those wishing to eat away from the pool, and for the league matches taking place on the tennis court.
The HOA is proud to report No Reserve Funds are being utilized for this capital improvement. The HOA is able to provide this new amenity since we have significant savings from becoming self-managed and by the streamlining of the annual budget.
The Clubhouse Pavilion is for everyone, but if you wish to have exclusive use, reservations and a rental fee will be required. The reservation fee will be the same as for a pool party, $50.00, with a security deposit of $100.00, and the exclusive time period will be four hours (4 hours). Reservations can be scheduled on www.reservemycourt.com, and the rental agreement will be in the upcoming neighborhood directory, available the first week of June, 2009.
During our April neighborhood meeting, many homeowners offered suggestions for the construction of the Clubhouse Pavilion. We received quotes on many of these, and have implemented quite a few. There were some suggestions which were not economically feasible, or aesthetically pleasing, and were not incorporated into the final construction. A suggestion was made to have the floor of the pavilion concrete – while we all agreed this would make clean-up extremely easy, the overall cost would have increased by $9,000, and the sides would have been approximately 18” of exposed concrete. A suggestion was made to have the steps rising from the existing sidewalk to the ground level be constructed of the same rock currently present for the retaining wall – we were able to incorporate this into the design without any additional costs, and will give the appearance of being original instead of an ‘add-on’.
POOL UPDATE – The pool is open, and many families have already enjoyed the cool, refreshing water. As you can see, and trust me the HOA noticed at the beginning of the season, we are in need of pool side umbrellas, and refurbishment of pool furniture. Heather Oliver presented various options for adding new umbrellas at the May HOA meeting. The board discussed the proposal, conducted additional research, and have purchased ten (10) new umbrellas and bases for the pool. The funds used for this purchase are being re-allocated from the Clubhouse budget – as you know, the HOA has been trying to update the furnishings inside the clubhouse, and money has been budgeted for this purpose. Since the furniture can last another year, the HOA has decided to re-allocate these funds for the umbrella purchase. The refurbishment of pool furniture will have to wait until next year, but we are already investigating companies for this endeavor.
REMINDERS: This is YOUR pool, not the HOA’s, treat it as the pool in YOUR backyard . . .
* Children under the age of 15 are not allowed at the pool without adult supervision
* Pick up any spilled food and/or drink (ants are our worst enemy)
* NO GLASS allowed
* Do NOT use chairs as forts
* Showers are NOT play areas
* Change out trash can bags when needed
* Ensure you and your children pick up in the restroom area – if an accident occurs, take care of it – do not leave it
for someone else – this is YOUR restroom, it is not the pool monitors responsibility to clean up after neighbors,
it is not the pool companies responsibility to clean up after neighbors – It Is YOUR Responsibility
TENNIS COURT UPDATE - We have new scoreboards for the tennis courts and two additional benches. Both these items will make match play much easier. We are still experiencing a problem pertaining to the courtside trash cans. When food and drink are taken on the court, and the remains are left in the trashcans for an extended period of time, ants will appear and make play that much harder. Please empty the courtside trash cans every chance you get into the large trashcan outside the main court door. There are tire marks and black soled shoe marks on the courts - Please remember the courts are for tennis purposes only, No wheeled items, No black soled shoes, No basketballs/footballs/soccer balls/etc. are allowed on the tennis courts. No glass containers are allowed on the courts – all drinks on the court should be in plastic containers. If the large trashcan outside the main court entrance is full, please place the full bag in the curbside trashcan at the clubhouse parking lot, and replace the bag.
HOMEOWNERS ON THE LAKE - We are fortunate to have many homeowners with lake front property who are maintaining their own property, and the common area which adjoins their property. With the drought and work taking place on these lots, much work has taken place without ACC approval. If everyone continues in this vein, we will have a problem with the lake balance, and may need to dredge the lake and basically start over again. So, for those who have in the past, or if you have plans in the future, to alter, improve, etc. your property, or the common area which adjoins your property – All work must be approved by the ACC PRIOR to any work commencing. Please help us in maintaining the lake, and preventing additional costs for this wonderful amenity.
MOTORIZED VEHICLES – Please remember No Motorized Vehicles are allowed on common or landscaped areas – all cars, golf carts, four wheelers, etc. should be driven on the road and parked in the parking lot – not the grass, the lake path, or greenspace.
PLAYGROUND UPDATE - Please do not leave food and drink in the playground area – there are many trashcans readily available for the disposal of food and drink. Last year we had an instance of inappropriate writing on the playground equipment – please monitor your children to ensure this does not happen again.
