Dear Owners at Village of Pebble Lake,

On January 10, 2023, the Secretary resigned from the HOA Board of Directors (“Board”). Consequently, there is a vacancy that needs to be filled immediately in order for the Board to conduct business on behalf of the owners. Any member of the community that would like to be considered by the Board to serve the Secretary’s unexpired term should send the attached nomination form to Doris at Doris@acswest.org AND president.board@pebblelakehoa.com.

You can also find the form at pebblelakehoa.com. Your nomination form must be received by Friday, January 20, 2023.

Please note that without the required minimum number of Directors, the Board cannot:

*Have meetings*Approve ARC’s
*Sign contracts (e.g. lights, fencing)
*Respond to homeowner issues
*Consider any new business

Further, the duties delegated by the Board cannot be performed by our management company, ACS West, or any other organization. Until the vacancy is filled, ACS West can only pay the HOA bills and act on decisions already made.

More than ever, your community needs you. Board meetings are held at least one to two times a month. The appointee will serve the remaining unexpired term, which means the appointment will end at the annual meeting held this summer.

Self Nomination Form

 

 

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the board meeting for tonight, January 10th at 6:30 PM has been canceled. We apologize for the late notice.  It will be rescheduled at a future date.

Board of Directors Meeting with the Ad Hoc Committee

Tuesday, January 10, 6:00 pm

LOCATION: Clubhouse

The board will meet with the Ad Hoc Committee for the Rental cap before the Regular Board meeting from 6 to 6:30 PM for the purpose of establishing the committee. This is a closed-session meeting due to confidentiality.

 

 

Dear Owners of the Village at Pebble Lake Townhouse Owners’ Association, Inc.:

Our Homeowners’ Association fees pay for the services and amenities we enjoy in this community. As you know, every owner in the Village at Pebble Lake has partial ownership in all of the common areas within the Village.  As representatives of the owners, the Board of Directors is charged with maintaining or improving the common areas within the community.  We all share in the costs through the assessment fees. 

The Board of Directors also has a fiduciary responsibility to ensure the Association’s finances and reserves are sufficient to cover long-term costs such as maintenance, repair, and replacement of our capital assets over their lifetime.  A previous Board hired an external firm to create a reserve study to advise it, and future boards, on the customary and appropriate levels of reserves needed for a community of our size and asset types.  Based on that study, we have increased our reserve budget this year and will likely need to do so in the future.

As mentioned in our November 9 letter, the Board of Directors determined that the assessment needs to increase from $150 per month in 2022 to $156 per month in 2023. This includes a $3.03 increase in the reserve amount, as recommended from the reserve study. It also includes a $2.97 increase in the operating budget, which is less than projected. A meeting was held by the Board in December to discuss the proposed budget for 2023. At that meeting, the proposed budget was approved. Therefore, the new payment of $156.00 a month or $468.00 quarterly, will take effect January 1, 2023. 

A copy of the proposed budget for 2023 was sent to all owners in November. Please know that the increase is not taken lightly. The Board of Directors will continue to do everything in its power to control expenses and to find the most cost-effective ways to maintain the quality of life we have here in the Village of Pebble Lake.

 

Sincerely,

The Board of Directors of the Village at Pebble Lake:

Danielle Powell, President

Melanie Spahr, Vice President and Treasurer

Will Fulop, Secretary

Why You Should Always Pick Up after Your Dog’s Poop 

 1. It’s A Matter of respect for people and the community. Cleaning up after your dog is always the right thing to do. It’s unfair to other residents to leave your dog’s poop laying around.  No one likes to step in poop and take it into homes, cars and businesses. If you’ve ever tried to get dog poop out of the treads of your shoes, you know how infuriating it can be.

2. It’s bad for the environment. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies pet waste as a toxic pollutant and places it in the same category as chemical and oil spills. The EPA estimates that just two days’ worth of dog waste from about 100 dogs would contribute enough pollution to close a beach and all watershed areas within 20 miles of it.

Stormwater carries dog poop directly into waterways. Dog waste contains nutrients and pathogens that harm local waters by depleting the oxygen in water necessary for beneficial underwater grasses, wildlife and fish. In addition, dog waste decomposes in waterways releasing nutrients that cause excessive growth of algae and weeds. The water becomes murky, green, and smelly.

3. Dog poop poses a health threat to people and pets. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention dog poop can contain parasites and germs that can be harmful to humans. In particular, roundworms and hookworms deposited by infected animals can live in the soil for long periods of time and be transmitted to other humans and animals.

In addition, veterinary experts at Drs. Foster and Smith say that giardia and E-coli can be transmitted from feces to people and dogs. Dogs can also spread or contract parvovirus or coronavirus through infected feces.

4. Dog poop is not a natural fertilizer. One of the top reasons people give for not cleaning up after their dogs is a belief that dog waste is natural and good for the Earth, according to the Humane Society of the United States.

However—unlike cow or horse manure—dog waste is not good for the soil. That’s because cows and horses are herbivores, whereas dogs are omnivores, and their diet is high in protein, say experts at Practica, a pet waste management company. In fact, dog waste is so high in nitrogen and phosphorus it can burn grass if not picked up.

5. It takes dog waste a long time to decompose. Many people who don’t pick up after their dogs believe that it’s no big deal, because the poop will quickly decompose.

This is not true. According to Clear Choices Clean Water, dog poop can take up to a year to break down depending on the climate and the dog’s diet. And even after the poop breaks down the bacteria and parasites remain in the soil.

6. We’ve made it easy for you! There are multiple dog waste disposal stations around the grounds.  We even supply the bags!  Please make use of them and we’ll all have a cleaner, healthier community.  Thanks!
