Daylight Savings

Fall is here, it gets dark earlier and daylight savings time begins November 2nd.    Please ensure your home’s exterior lights are on from dusk till dawn. Illuminated surroundings enhance community safety and deter opportunistic crime.

Fall Home Maintenance Tips

• Winterize sprinkler system
• Clean dryer vents
• Reverse ceiling fans—run clockwise to push warm air down from the ceiling
• Clean gutters
• Disconnect & drain garden hoses
• Test smoke & carbon monoxide detectors
• Store outdoor furniture

Holiday Lighting

Summer has flown by, kids are back in school and, before you know it, the holiday season will be here.  We are already seeing companies advertise their lighting services, attracting homeowners with early installation discounts and extra savings for those willing to display promotional yard signs.  A reminder, both services being offered to homeowners violate the community guidelines below:

• Holiday decorations may be installed 30 days prior to the holiday and must be removed within 30 days after the holiday.
• No yard signs are permitted.

Fall Lawn Care Tips

Fighting weeds is a year-round battle, so don’t forget fall weed control. It’ll give you a jump on a healthier lawn in the spring. While weeds are working hard on their top growth in the summer, in fall they’re storing energy in their root system, which means they’re more susceptible to herbicide applications.

Zap them now, and it will be harder for them to send their roots deeper into the ground.  Applying weed killer in the fall will get rid of many perennial broadleaf weeds like dandelions, clover, thistle, etc.

Pedestrian Safety

The kids are back at school walking to and from bus stops.  Parents and caregivers, help your youngsters understand the importance of bicycle and street crossing safety.  Motorists, reduce your speed while driving in the community and be vigilant of youngsters biking, walking and playing.

Park Damage

The increasing use of electric bikes, motorized scooters, and bicycles in the park’s grass is causing significant damage, including ruts. Kids have pulled signs out of the ground, and built ramps. We will remove the ramps and replace signs and notify the police of the damage. Parents, please inform your children that the park restricts such activities.

Pet Etiquette

We know we say it constantly, but hopefully it will soon sink in to those that are still not getting it… Dogs should always be leashed when off your property to prevent unexpected encounters with people, other animals and cars.  Please remember to clean up after your pet. It’s not pleasant, but responsible pet ownership requires it. Respect others and keep public spaces and parks clean for everyone.
