Your HOA is looking for a resident to take over the repair and replacement of the yellow arms at both gate houses. The duties entail replacing the arm every time someone knocks it down. Sometimes that’s a daily occurrence and at other times we go a week or more with-out damage. The person needs to be on call most every day and evening and have their own tools. Some amount of mechanical ability is required. The person also must be able to go and get the parts from our local Ace Hardware store. The HOA will pay $25 for each repair

done as well as the cost of materials (arms, paint, nylon bolts, etc.). A formal job description will be issued fol-lowing approval at the next Board Meeting, If you are interested, please let your editor know (LCReditor@cox.net) and we’ll be sure to get the job description to you as soon as it’s available.

Invited Guests Halloween Night?

In an effort to keep strangers out and vandalism down on Halloween night, there will be secu-rity officers posted at each gate.

If you are having guests over for parties and TorT outings, please contact Edna Balko in advance with your guest list so the guards will allow them into the Lakes. Those visitors not on the list will have to be cleared at the gate by calling the homeowner... and that will take time and be inconvenient. Edna is at ebalko@cadden.com or 520 297-0797. Thank you for your cooperation.

You’re Invited to a Halloween Party! The Tucson Spondylitis Support Group invites you to a Family Halloween Party on Thursday, Oct. 25, 6:00 – 9:00 at the Rec Center. Come and enjoy the kettle korn, face painting, raffle prizes, costume contest, Halloween baked goods, and more! All proceeds benefit the Spondylitis Association of America (www.spondylitis.org). There's no entry fee. I'm not sure what the prices will be for the raffle tickets, kettle korn, or baked goods. -Krista Lange

Your Neighbor Writes... As I walk around the development, I see that there are a lot of residents who seem not to care about the land-scaping stones that are routinely dislodged by kids, dogs, garbage/recyclable trucks, etc. Many residents, on the other hand, keep their sidewalks clean by occasionally sweeping the stones back to the section between the curbing and the sidewalk. It is such a minor effort and it would substantively improve community aesthetics if everyone were to do so. Residents, of course, cannot be forced to maintain these areas, but perhaps a gentle suggestion to this effect would be an appropriate. [editor note: consider this as your gentle suggestion].

Winter Flowering Plants in our Desert By Jon Gibson, Complete Landscaping

Although Arizona’s climate varies slightly throughout the state, in general, Arizona has a dry climate with hot summers and mild winters. Because of the mild winter weather, many perennials stay green throughout the year in Arizona. Some of these plants take advantage of the cooler temperatures and produce flowers through all or part of the winter season. Below are a couple popular plants we install for winter color. Chuparosa

Native to the southwestern United States, chuparosa is a shrub that can reach up to 5 feet high and wide. The gray-green leaves are cold- and drought-sensitive and fall from the plant in both of those conditions. In the wild,

this plant grows along the rocky slopes of the Arizona deserts. The flowers of the chuparosa are red and tubu-lar, blooming even in winter and attracting humming-birds to the gardens. The seeds produced once the blooms mature are food for quail and other birds, ac-cording to Desert USA. Firecracker Penstemon

Firecracker penstemon is a perennial herb that grows in full sun and well-drained soil. This plant is drought-tolerant, needing very little additional water once it is established. The red flowers

bloom on long stalks throughout the winter in Ari-zona's mild climate. Firecracker penstemon grows to 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide with multiple stalks of flowers. This plant will self-seed, according to the Utah Native Plant Society. If you don't want propagation, cut the flowers before they form seeds. Plumbago

A profusion of white flowers covers this shrub from Feb-ruary to May and again in late summer in Arizona. Plum-bago, also known as leadwort and white desert plumbago,

Our thanks to Complete Landscaping and especially to Jon Gibson for this ad-vice. Complete Landscap-ing has been keeping the

common areas of the Lakes in the beautiful condi-tion which makes the neighborhood so enjoyable and our guest’s envious. Jon is a monthly contributor to your Castle Rock Times with great horticultural

grows to 10 feet long and can be trained as a vine. The small green leaves are evergreen and gain a red tinge in the autumn. This plant is drought-tolerant and grows in full sun. The flowers attract birds and pollinat-ing insects to the garden, according to DeLange. Desert Lavender

Reaching 10 feet high and 8 feet wide, the dense growth of the desert lavender is ideal for use as a hedge or privacy screen. Desert lavender is drought-tolerant and prefers well-drained, slightly sandy

soil in full sun. Spikes of purple flowers bloom through-out the year in mild climates, and the small gray-green leaves are evergreen and have a lavender scent, accord-ing to Arizona Arboretum.

QUORUM A Quorum of the Board was established with 6 Directors present.

CALL TO ORDER Meeting was called to order at 6:33 p.m

HOMEOWNER INPUT ↸ Homeowner informed Board that there is beginning to be a problem with debris by the lake. Weeds are getting high. Another homeowner inquired as to whether renters are informed that it is their responsibility to keep the property maintained. ↸ Homeowner brought an injured turtle to the meeting advising that the animal had a fishing hook caught in its mouth and in-quired whether the Board would help with the cost of taking the animal to the vet. Board members advised that no, the Board is not equipped to help with the cost of rescuing animals. ↸ Homeowner informed the Board that there is Buffel Grass by the tennis courts that needs to be removed before it goes to seed. Homeowner also commented that it seems to take a long time before irrigation leaks get fixed. ↸ Another homeowner commented that she thinks the landscapers are doing a good job LANDSCAPE COMMITTEE Jon Gibson from Complete Landscaping attended the meeting. He advised that his crew will remove the broken tree branch out of the lake. The crew has been busy replacing dead plants. He also informed the Board that he will have a crew come out on the property on Wednesday, August 29, 2012, at no extra cost to the Association to work on the weeds and the anthills. Board expressed concern that it seems to take months lately to get things done properly. Board requested that the landscaper build up the rock by the walking path and to eliminate the Buffel Grass by the tennis courts. Board also requested that the land-scaper clean up the area outside the East Gate. Landscaper explained that this is the busiest season for them because of the monsoon rains but reassured the Board that the prop-erty would look much better once the rains were over. Landscaper also assured the Board that the tree that had fallen into the lake would be removed the next day.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES Motion (Schuldenfrei/Baker) to approve the minutes from July 2012 as amended. MOTION PASSED.

Treasurer reviewed the financial report and requested the Board members to inform him which pages they wish to continue to receive.

Treasurer also commented that the delinquencies are increasing and informed the Board that he needs to move $75,000 out of the reserves into a CD. Treasurer also wants to discuss the CD’s that will be maturing in September and October with the Fi-nance Committee.

MANAGER’S REPORT Written report submitted to the Board.

COMMITTEE REPORTS DRC – Mel Silverman: No report. LANDSCAPE – Chris Kaselemis: Previously discussed. Nothing further to add. LAKES – Doug Baker: Lakes are looking good. SECURITY/GATE – Mel Silverman: Mr. Silverman brought up the idea of installing cameras at the gates again to assist with determining who causes damage to the arms. Board requested that Mr. Silverman obtain more information for future discussion. The bushes in the median at the East Gate need trimming because they are causing a traffic hazard. Board requested that the Management Representative contact the city regarding this issue. ROADWAYS / WALKWAYS – Mr. Silverman: The sinkhole will be fixed this week. RECREATIONAL FACILITIES – Mr. Silverman: Seven new chairs have been purchased. Board requested that Manage-ment Representative obtain bids for cleaning because the Board is not satisfied with the work of the present cleaning company. The sign at the East Gate is not finished correctly. COMMUNICATIONS – Steve Schuldenfrei: Mr. Schuldenfrei provided an updated list of homeowners who are presently receiving the newsletter via email. SOCIAL DIRECTOR – Shirley Henning: Ms. Henning informed the Board that she had delivered two baskets to new home-owners. The neighborhood yard sale is scheduled for November 3rd. Judging for Halloween decorations will take place on Oc-tober 27th and judging for holiday lights will take place on December 21st.

OLD BUSINESS � Do not feed the ducks – Board agreed to place signs at both gates that say: Do not feed the ducks. Feeding can cause poor nutrition, spread of disease, unnatural behavior, pollution, overcrowd-

ing and delayed migration. Don’t feed wild animals. This will also be included in the next newsletter. � Board will include an advisement in the next newsletter that every vehicle must wait for the vehicle in front to go through the gate, before using their clicker or gate code to make the arm raise again before trying to enter the property. This will help to avoid any vehicle being hit by the arm. � Board member commented that he is tired of seeing dogs running loose by the lake and not on leashes. NEW BUSINESS + Committee Chair’s cap amount on expenditures – Motion (Kellman/Maier) to allot $300 for the Communications Committee for expenses. MOTION PASSED + Irrigation Repair Proposal – Board agreed to wait until the first of the year to review and to patch the irrigation in the meantime. + Recreation Center Floor Repair – Board requested that Management Representative obtain a bid from a concrete com-pany for assessment/cost of the floor repair. Mr. Silverman will also contact a company for a bid. + Gate Codes Protocol – A work order is required for Antech to add gate codes; otherwise, activity will not be on the re-port. The Communications Committee Director (Steve Schuldenfrei) will inform Management Representative of any future re-quested gate codes.

Semiannual Brush and Bulky Trash Pick Up

New Floor, Cabinets in Rec Center The unexpected cracking of the floor tiles in the Rec Center required quick action by your Board. Upon in-vestigation, it was decided that tiles could not be matched and just replacing them was only a temporary solution at best. So the floor was removed, a new ce-ment base poured and a finish cement coat applied. One substantial crack under the tiles was also found and re-paired. As the lower cabinets had to be removed to install the floor and were also in need of repair, they and the sink were replaced as well. The money to make this repair came from the reserve fund.
