Community Letter 2010

 

Bordeaux Community Homeowners,

Summer is officially here and it’s time to have our annual HOA Party! We have completed some key projects to keep our community in top shape such as installation of the basketball hoop, installation of our irrigation systems, repair of the swing set, removal of dying/dead tree’s in the common area, park bench relocation and we have much more that we are excited to complete this year. As you all know we did not raise the dues this year and do not plan to any time soon.

Our main goal this year is to keep crime at bay this summer.  Many of you have experienced some type of car and home theft and we are asking that we focus on security this year. 

There have been many complaints about mostly young people but also suspicious individuals who are jumping the fence from 19^th to the end of the cul-de-sac. There are tree’s that have been uprooted and other plant damage.

We want to plant some trees along the edge of our fence line to block off access from the road. The second item on our security agenda is to add lighting and security cameras to our community. We can start with the park and expand these projects to the rest of our community as we have funds available.

Adding some comfort features such as the cabana and grill are still a requested addition and we will keep them in the ballot until they are something the community agrees on.

A few matters of business to include:

-          Dues statements should already be out to everyone.  We thank you in advance for getting those payments in as soon as you can as we have some important projects for our community for this year.

-          This year’s HOA party is shaping up to be another big turnout; we ask that you please bring a dish and your family is welcome to join us for the festivities. We are renting a “Bouncy/Blowup Slide” and will have other kid station’s set up.

-          We are hoping to increase the level of communication this year. One of the main reasons the crime rate has gone down is neighbors having good communication when there is a problem or concern. Our Blog needs someone who wants to update it on a weekly basis if someone is interested and we are working on a complete contact sheet for community members that wish to connect better with their neighbors.

If there is anyone interested in getting more actively involved, we would love to meet you so reach out to one of the board members at the party and we will get you connected.

Silver Lake neighborhood project

A note from the Silver Lake Association:We ended up having 1 person from our community help; hopefully next time we can get more volunteers.

Here is a little news from the Silver Lake neighborhood project from Sunday's flower project. 

With the help of volunteer neighbors, family, and local businesses, Everett's Silver Lake Action Committee added spring color along 19th Ave. SE in the Silver Lake area with a grant from Everett's Office of Neighborhoods. Folks formed teams to add hardy plants to 6 planters, 2 corridor sign flower beds, and several corner flower beds from 9am to noon Sunday, May 2. 

"We beat the rain that was forcast for today" smiled David Chrisman, neighborhood chairperson, "and the added color spruces up some overlooked eye-sores". It's nice to see plans come to fruition after several months of preparation he added.

The event was staged at the Solid Rock Coffee cafe which opened on a Sunday when they would otherwise be closed. Silver Lake Elementary School students created a big poster to celebrate the "Flower Day" and will add flowers at their school on Monday. The Kiwanis brought a small army to pitch in and the plant donations were contributed from the new Ace Hardware and Lowes in Mill Creek. Cedar Grove Compost hauled six yards of free soil for the neighborhood project. Other supporters include Safeway at Silver Lake, Seattle Outboard Racing (Mini Hydros), and Fred Meyer.

Let me know if you have any questions or visit the neighborhood web site for more info about this Thursday's guest speaker, Winter Olympic Ski Racer Yina Moe-Lange from Sammamish WA, talking about health and fitness?

Thanks and have a great day! (I sent this to the Herald and Tribune)
