A few issues

Folks -- A few of issues for your knowledge:

1.A resident has expressed concern about the dam area and the possibility of dangerous wildlife that may be lurking nearby. He suggested that residents should be aware and cautious, especially with their children and small pets. He related to me that recently his large (90 lbs) dog sensed something amiss and refused to walk down this area. He couldn't tell if the dog was fearful of a coyote, cougar, or snakes, but if any of these are around, folks should be wary. I would like to hear from anyone who has information or additional observations.

2. The association has a restriction against yard signs, including political signs. However, the 2008 state legislature passed a statute (go figure!) preventing homeowners' associations from restricting political signs for a select period. Associations like ours cannot prohibit the display of political yard signs, which are less than six square feet, for a period 45 days before an election through two days after the election.

This means that for the August 3rd primary election, the first day signs are allowed in restricted neighborhoods is June 19th. For the general election on November 2, the first day for signs is September 18th. If you want to display political signs, please let's everyone use good judgment so that they don't turn into clutter. Remember that our restrictions are intended to keep SWW looking tidy and dignified.

3. Still looking for someone to step up to take the reins as association president in October. After six years (or five or seven?), I can no longer continue, per our by-laws. It would be very helpful if one of our fine residents could stand up and take this on.
