Thanks

Thank you for doing all you can to make Bridgerland Meadows a great place to live!

Technology

Comcast continues to tell us they are on schedule to have the changeover completed by August 31st. We haven’t seen any of their workers near the development so just have to have faith that they will get it done. We have a signed contract with them.

Sales

We are continuing to sell some units, however sales have slowed considerably during this recession. We hope to be able to start a few more buildings before winter. We are hopeful that sales increase over the next year to a point where we can complete the clubhouse.

Storm Doors

We currently have orders for 10 storm doors, If we get 10 more, the price drops from $198.00 to $180.00. These doors retail for $218.00. Our installer will install them for $75.00. If interested call Sharon at 755-7829.

Dogs

Residents are doing much better picking up after their dogs. There are two issues that need addressing. First if your dog continually urinates on the small grass areas inside your fence, the grass will more than likely die and need replacing each year. If you allow the dog to urinate on the other grass areas in the development, then you will continue to see dead grass spots. These are all costly to repair and detract from the landscaping. So please, walk you dog to one of the field areas or pet stations to let him/her conduct their business. It’s good exercise for you and the dog and helps to keep our grounds looking better.

If you see dog dropping building up in one area, please notify Sharon
(755-7829)

Dryer Vents

We have been alerted to the fact that lint builds up in the roof outlet. We are in the process of cleaning out these outlets. If your dryer is not running efficiently, you may want to have the dryer line cleaned inside your home. Sharon (755-7829) has the name and number of a professional cleaning person who will clean out your vent for $30.00.

Garbage Cans

Please remember to place your garbage and recycle cans inside you garage other then on garbage day. (Thursday)

Pavilion

Feel free to reserve the pavilion for your personal and or family use. A refundable deposit is required. See Sharon for details.

Fencing

We still have not received the caps to complete the fencing and lights. We are hopeful that they will be here any day. We reordered the brackets needed to install fencing in Phase III and will have them shortly.

Landscape

By now you have noticed we have contracted with a local landscape maintenance company (Stickman Landscape) to maintain the grounds. They will also be responsible for snow removal. It will take a little time but the landscaping will begin to look better over the next several weeks.

We have been installing landscaping on the park and buildings fronting the park in Phase III. Within 30 days this area should be completed.
