President's Message
April brought with it some beautiful bluebonnets, I hope you have had a chance to get out in the hill country around Austin and enjoy them. Charlene and I drove up north of Austin in early April and were absolutely amazed by the colors blooming in the fields and along the roads. As the rains have fed the flowers, we have seen a burst of growth in yards. Specifically grasses and weeds have shot up and there are many yards that need attention around the neighborhood. One of the major functions of the board is to maintain property values, one of the ways we can do this is to maintain the appearance of yards and homes. I hope you will take a moment to review your yard and address any maintenance issues before the weather gets too hot. The Annual Easter Egg Hunt was held again at the end of March, I would like to thank the many children and their parents who came out to make it a huge success. We enjoyed seeing familiar faces and getting to know some of the new residents. Our events continue to grow and it is great to see how the neighborhood has evolved over the twenty years I have been a resident here. I would like to thank the many homeowners who have continued to pay their dues on-time each month. If you pay your dues electronically please update your payment to $47.00. We are hoping to avoid the time and expense involved in personally notifying homeowners that dues have increased $2.00 per month to $47.00. I know I have brought this up in the past three issues but there still remain a few residents that are paying the old rate of $45.00.

We have reviewed our 20 year infrastructure study from Bufkin Engineering and are developing a plan to address the elements of the study that were found to be of concern. Over the next few months, we will develop a plan in conjunction with vendors based on the study report. We also, as a courtesy, notified owners of any walls that were of concern on the report. Copies of the report are available via email from Jesse. It is imperative that we maintain an accurate database with name, address and contact info (email /phone) for all homeowners in the association. Please email Jesse at cmhoa@sbcglobal.net and share this information. Finally, I would ask that pet owners take responsibility for their animals. There have been numerous complaints of dogs barking while chained / left alone in their yards. Also a handful of pet owners have been identified walking their dogs and not cleaning up after them. Please clean up after your pets, as it is your responsibility and is a growing health hazard in the neighborhood as temperatures rise. Best Regards, Bryan Harter, Cat Mountain HOA | President
