Comment Moderation

The purpose of this blog is to provide easy access to information for the residents of the development, and to give them the opportunity to make comments about any of the current issues. It is provided to increase community awareness, involvement, and communication. It is not an official form of communication with the HOA Management, and any questions or concerns for which you would like a response need to be addressed directly to the HOA Management.

The level of frustration with some of the current issues in the development is understandable, but please be respectful and use appropriate language. The opportunity to comment has been unrestricted to allow anyone to make a comment anonymously if they choose. To maintain open access, the comments will be moderated to prevent any inappropriate comments from being posted so there may be a delay in the time you make a comment and the time that it appears on the blog.

The Rendezvous

This is the July 2008 newsletter of the Bridgerland Meadows Homeowners Association. This website / blog contains the same information as the printed newsletter and allows the opportunity to make comments about any of the issues in this month’s newsletter or to view previous editions of the newsletter. This is not an official form of communication with the HOA Management. It is provided to increase community awareness, involvement, and communication.
Technology Update

Dave Springer, the agent in charge of negotiations for a new technology provider has notified the developers that the primary company he is working with is preparing a contract for review. They are a large company so things are progressing slowly, but it is hoped that a solution will be reached in the near future.


Quadra Media Works is no longer administering the technology services. If you experience any problems with your internet, television, phone, or security please contact Sharon Andersen at (435) 755-7829. In the interim period until a contract is established with a permanent provider, AbbaCom Inc. (Dave Springer’s company) will be servicing the technology services with Michael from Rigidtech handling the Internet services at the head end and Brett handling the local service issues and installations. Sharon will be doing the billing and taking all the customer calls to direct them to the appropriate provider (technology, billing, technical support, or installations). If your television service is experiencing problems, please call her with the problematic channel numbers as in many instances the problem can be addressed with minor adjustments in the head end.
Landscaping

Mark and his crew are working hard to make our development beautiful. They are mowing on Tuesdays and weeding weekly so the weeds are being controlled and weed sprays and fertilizer are working well with the dry weather. The trees and shrubs which have suffered winter kill are being replaced. They do need your help to identify shrubs and grass areas that look stressed before they die. The problem could very well be a plugged drip line or broken sprinkler, and could be corrected before the plant dies or the grass turns brown if known soon enough. If you see a plant or lawn area that appears to be stressed, please contact Sharon at (435) 755-7829 so it can be addressed. Also, due to some recent problems, we ask that you please help us keep children from tampering with and/or breaking sprinkler heads and drip lines.

Official Notices

  • Thank you for your cooperation in managing the pet waste in the development. We have noticed a significant decrease in the amount of dog droppings in the neighborhood. The fenced area is almost complete on the south side of Phase I, and a “Pet Station” will be installed which includes plastic disposable bags and a dump station. Please use these areas as much as possible, and always remember to take disposable bags with you when walking your dog to pick up any waste.
  • We have witnessed and have been made aware that some parents are allowing their children to ride small electric cars and scooters unsupervised. We are concerned about the safety of the children, especially riding through the driveways. Please do not allow your children on these toy vehicles without your direct supervision. Also, please ask your children to be respectful of the safety of others when operating these vehicles or bicycles on the sidewalks.
  • Some residents have experienced problems with their air conditioning that have been traced to dirty filters. These filters need to be changed regularly otherwise the air conditioning and furnace will not work properly. Please check your filter and replace it regularly. You can find filters at the local home improvement stores priced from $10 to $30.
  • After speaking with some of you, we have decided to reactivate the communication committee. We met 3 to 4 times last summer, but interest in the committee began to wane so we discontinued meeting. If you would like to serve on the committee to bring issues and concerns to the developers, please call Sharon and indicate your desire to serve. We will schedule a meeting soon, so please let us know if you would like to be involved. We are hoping for a committee of about 8 to 10 residents.
Thank you for your cooperation in making this a comfortable and safe community. Please address any comments, questions, or concerns to the HOA Management by contacting Sharon Andersen at (435) 755-7829 or sandersen@redeagledevelopment.com
Neighborhood News

The developers to the north of our development are beginning a project that will include town homes and perhaps condominiums. The first two buildings nearest 400 west will be 3 story buildings with 12 units. It is unknown if they will be selling these as town homes or offering them for rent. They will have several other building types, some of which will be similar to those in our development. The property to the south of our development is up for sale and it appears to be zoned as a multi-family residential area.
The Pavilion

The pavilion picnic tables are available for use and the kitchen and bathroom facilities are nearing completion. If you would like to use the space for a group picnic, please contact Sharon at (435) 755-7829 and make reservations. A small refundable cleaning deposit is required to use the facilities.There are also garden plots still available for community gardening. Please contact Sharon for more information.
