SECURITY ALERT
We have received reports of miscellaneous items being stolen from garages left open and vehicles left unlocked. Please take precautions to keep your home and valuables safe by closing the garage when you are not outside and locking your vehicles when parking on your driveway or in the street. Don’t leave valuables in plain sight around the outside of your home or in your vehicle inviting criminals to steal from you. We have also received concerns regarding “trash pilfering” occurring in the community. This is when you see strange vehicles driving around the community on trash days looking for items left at the curb that they can reuse, recycle or sell. Please report these vehicles to the Constable immediately so that these persons can be sent out of the community and made aware that we do not want this occurring in our community.
YOUR HOUSE FOUNDATION NEEDS WATER TOO!
Many of you may not be aware that your house foundation needs to be watered on a regular basis to ensure proper settling, especially in hot, dry conditions like we are currently experiencing. We are certainly not promoting that you drench your foundation on a daily basis. You can simply maintain your foundation by installing a soaker hose along the base that you can turn on to water for 15-20 minutes once or twice per week as weather conditions require. This will also help to water the plant material around your home.
EXTERIOR CHANGES OR IMPROVEMENTS TO YOUR HOME
Summer projects are in full swing so we want to take this opportunity to remind all of you that any change or addition to the exterior of your home must be applied for an approved by the Association prior to proceeding. Regular maintenance such as replacing fence pickets, touching up paint, etc. do not require approval. But projects such as painting the entire house, replacing the roof, installing decorative items like flagpoles or birdbaths, etc. do require approval. Please contact management to inquire about your specific project if you have any questions just to be on the safe side. You can find the Home Improvement Guidelines and the application on the website for your convenience and review.
COMMUNITY EVENTS
We have all enjoyed the past events coordinated by gracious volunteers in the community, however we are currently lacking involvement to schedule these events for the remainder of the year. If you would like to help coordinate or just help in the planning of community gatherings, please contact management at sherri@highsierramanagement.com with your interest or to ask specific questions.
INTERIOR ELECTRICAL INSPECTIONS
One of the community’s recent preventative maintenance projects has been to have all exterior common area electrical breakers and wiring inspected for needed repairs and maintenance to prevent outages or electrical fires. With all the news reports on television of house fires recently, we want to take this opportunity to remind each of you how important the need for regular inspection and maintenance of your interior electrical wiring and breakers.
