GreenBelt maintenance issues CHNE

All, During the 5/17 Board meeting, Mr. Phil (GM, Water District) asked us to send the pictures with the address location so he will be happy to followup with HOA. If  you want to send the pics to him directly, pls do so and here is the Email contact "J. Philip Brosseau" < jpbrosseau@dentoncountyfwsd. com > Otherwise, pls upload photos here with address..   https://drive.google.com/ drive/folders/ 0B3qWEhEUcoZaaWJJTnkyRnd2VTA Responsibilities : 1. HOA - Must install the SOD or Dirt or anything needed. 2. Water District - Maintains the Common Areas (Mowing, Trimming, Weed control,... ). Water District pays for 40 times mowing in each year for this maintenance. 40 times mowing is nothing but it should be mowed in each week except in the mid winter where the grass doesn't grow.

Castlehills - March/April Police Patrol Reports

Image
FYI, the Police Patrol report for the month of Mar/April. Noticed in the 2nd attachment that there are lots of Traffic surveys due to the incident recently happened. Not sure whether the same has been done for Winehart/Windhaven issue. I will have to check the previous reports. Note : From yesterday's district meeting, we learnt that the Windhaven Pkway behind our community is not maintained by Water District but the City of Lewisville. This point came, when discussing about the Smart Traffic light. We will need to plan meeting the City Counsel to help addressing the issues we have.
