TWIN CREEKS TRIBUNE

FROM THE PRESIDENT Hello my fellow neighbors! I wanted to give you an update on happenings in the neighborhood. We just had our annual meeting in March, where a review of the past year and some upcoming objectives of the HOA were discussed. You may download a copy of this presentation from our property manager’s site at http://hoasites.goodwintx.com/twn/Home. aspx. Also, we had a couple of special guest speakers – Cedar Park Mayor Matt Powell and Twin Creeks Club Manager Justin Jafarian. City growth is still going strong, attracting more attention from employers and retail. Also, many capital improvements are planned for the club. We had re-election of two Board members – both Debby Hackbarth (Treasurer) and I were re-elected to 3-year terms. We appreciated the confidence shown in us and want to continue to improve the neighborhood. The rest of the Board is as follows: Brandon Lind (Vice-President), Chuck Andersen (Secretary), and Bruce Roach (Director). One improvement we are making is switching landscapers. We had previous contracted with Landscape Resources for maintaining turf, trees, and irrigation. Unfortunately, they just weren’t performing up to our expectations. After receiving bids from several contractors, we have picked Centex to be our new landscaper. Centex will oversee Taurus, specializing in irrigation and Chon, specializing in trees.

Chon’s work in the recent round of tree trimming throughout the community. We will save some money in the switch, but it was more about maintaining the community than saving money. Taking care of what we have the best we can will also lead to future savings. As for new construction, our community is about 98% built-out towards 1000 households. We are a premium neighborhood in Cedar Park, surrounded by an excellently maintained golf course, and our home prices reflect it. As our water supply concerns subside and the watering restrictions ease, I would ask that those residents who have neglected their lawns work on getting them in better shape. Our fences are in better shape overall, but work still needs to be done to bring some into compliance with our CCRs. Finally, looking to goals in 2016, the HOA wants to concentrate on many items: (1) work with the Country Club to address homeowner’s complaints, (2) cleaning of the rock wall and other improvements in and around the community, and (3) landscape / irrigation improvements. This year should keep us pretty busy and I want to thank all of those in advance who will help support our endeavors to keep our community the best in Cedar Park. Ross Burns
