HOA QUARTERLY MEETING

Here are repair items that the HOA board discussed….

Fence repair: Because we have had problems with rocks being thrown at our common ground fences and gazebo, we needed to complete repairs. $800

Tree to be cut down: The tree in the common walkway that is at the Campfire Court is going to be removed due to roots that have overgrown and are destroying the pathway. $400

Lights: We needed to replace 2 photo cells, several bulbs and ballast. $700

Sidewalk: will be repaired mid-Aug or Sept at no cost from the ACHD! (saves the subdivision $10,000)

Agenda Notes:

Pets… If you own a dog please use a leash… It is the law in Meridian…

“No animal is permitted to roam free in Ada County. Animals must be leashed in public on a leash that's no longer than 10 feet unless they're in a car or under the control of a competent attendant. Animals running free are subject to impoundment.”

Please clean up after your pet-- It is your animal so it is your responsibility!

If your dog or cat is left outside please ensure that the animal does not bark, carouse, or cause damage. It can be disturbing to listen to a dog barking or cat meowing at all hours of the day and night.

Please refrain from raising chickens or any kind of fowl

Wilkins Ranch HOA quarterly meeting May 8, 2014

Landscaping News: Sprinklers will be changed in the north bed

entrance to maximize water coverage. Clay buster was tilled into both entrance beds

to create a more hospitable soil for our plants to grow and flourish.

Black Rock and weed barrier will be used at both entrances to control weeds.

Flowers: perennials will be planted (Gazanias and Silver Mound) at both entrances.

Miscellaneous: If there is excessive moisture in your yard (area)from the

sprinklers in the common area, please send an email to the website: http://wilkinsranch.com/contact-us/

If you receive a friendly reminder on your lamp post in your front yard please replace your light. If the light replacement does not seem to work then you may need to replace the photocell.

This is the last newsletter to be mailed. If you would like a newsletter (hardcopy) in the future…please contact a board member and we will create a copy for you.

Cameras and surveillance signs are being considered at both entrances to reduce vandalism and provide extra security for our school age children that wait for the school bus. We are in process of getting quotes.

Please ensure your children that await the bus are not climbing on the structures or standing on plants. This causes damage that costs everyone in our community money. If the children are climbing on the wall invariably the letters get torn off this cost can go from $50-$2000 depending on the damage done. This comes out of the annual budget.

Mosquitos and the summer season!The mosquito abatement representative came to our subdivision and put down mosquito killer. They will be back in 30 days to reapply. If you have mosquitos in your yard, send an email to info@wilkinsranch.com . We will call Ada County Weed, Pest and Mosquito Abatement. You can also call them at (208)577-4646 or visit the website at: https://adacounty.id.gov/Mosquio-Abatement

Here are some tips to prevent mosquito breeding:

Avoid over irrigation Remove excess vegetation from ponds Empty artificial containers Change water in bird baths and dog bowls Frequently clean roof gutters Fill tree holes Filter swimming pools regularly and cover Drain incidental standing water
