~ President's Message ~
May, 2012
 
By the time you read this the pool will be open; just about one month earlier than in years past.  And we have implemented longer pool hours, so we can all enjoy this warmer weather for  extended times each day. 
 
Of course, there is just one hitch to be aware of and that is if you are not current on your assessments, your pool access card has been deactivated and you will not be able to use the pool until your account is current.
 
 
By the way, the pool is for use by Saddle Cub residents and their guests.  Please do not loan your pool access card to anyone.

 
A few items of interest:

1. The landscaping including the flower beds in the front entrance is in a redesign stage.  I have seen the initial plans and it looks wonderful.  Please be patient and you’ll  be rewarded with what I will consider the most attractive main community entrance regardless of level of community.
 
 
2. Mark your calendar to attend the Spring Fling on Saturday, May 12th from 1-4 pm.  It will be at the pool and sort of celebrates the official start of our pool season.
 
 
3. On May 15th, the Crime watch Committee will be hosting a meeting with a member of the McKinney police department.  Officer Haak will explain the purpose and value of having a crime watch committee in place and how we can make it work to continue to keep Saddle Club virtually crime free.  Look for more details on the website.
 
 
4. I continue to see improvement in eliminating animal waste from lawns and common areas.  Thanks to all who are doing their part.  There remains however, some among us who still don’t get it (and you know who you are).  Let me remind those of you who insist on being rude in this that it is against The City of McKinney  standards and laws as follows:
 
a. “ It shall be unlawful for an owner or person in control of an animal to fail to keep the animal under restraint”;
 
 
b. “ It shall be unlawful for an owner to fail or refuse to control, restrain, or otherwise allow, either by conduct, omission, or condition of premises, his or her animal to become a public nuisance by being at large or running at large.”
 
 
c. “the keeping of any animal or bird in a manner that permits, allows, constitutes, or causes a public nuisance under this chapter shall be unlawful.”
 
 
d. “Remove all refuse, as defined in … the city code, on the premises and dispose of same by a means approved by the animal control department.”
..…” failure or refusal to comply with the enforcement of any of the provisions of this chapter shall be punishable by a fine not to exceed $500.00 for each violation. Each day that a violation is permitted to exist shall constitute a separate offense.”


 
 
Speaking on behalf of the board, we truly welcome the opportunity to serve as your representatives in creating within Saddle Club the type of community that we are all proud to live in. 
 
As always, feel free to contact us with your issues or complaints and we will do our best to resolve them. Of course, we’ll take your kudos as well. :)
 

That’s all, folks  ~ Barry

Pool Access
Posted on May 17th, 2012 Comments (0)
    You all have been made aware of the recent spate of vandalism that has occurred at the pool.  Solutions are being formulated by the pool committee and should be unveiled soon for comment by all residents.  We have not experienced this  in the past  and it is disconcerting to see it happening now.  So, the sooner that we nip this in the bud, the better off we'll all be.
  
    Along these lines, the use of the pool is restricted to Saddle Club residents and their guests only.  The Community Amenities Guidelines were recently published and mailed to all homeowners (additional copies will be available at the pool party on 5/19).  I recently had to evict four young folks who are not residents (or could not show me a pool card or another form of identification).  Seems that they were let in the gate by a resident at the pool at the time.
 
    I urge you not to do this.  If someone is attempting to access the pool and if they do not have a pool access card  please do not let them in.  By the way, if they show you another form of identification, it still might be that their pool privileges were suspended for violation of our rules including non payment of assessments.  This is not meant to be a heavy handed approach, rather it is to be certain that the pool is used by those who are entitled to use it, for the benefit of all of us.

Pool Announcement
Posted on May 14th, 2012 Comments (0)
Based on community feedback, and for the benefit of all of our residents, your board of directors has adopted this no smoking rule: 
No smoking is allowed in any common area within Saddle Club including but not limited to the pool and the common areas surrounding the pool which includes the play ground areas
This rule will go into effect on May 31, 2012.
 
Additionally - we have experienced multiple bouts of vandalism at our pool since opening.
This senselessly costs all of us money that could be better spent in our neighborhood addressing your concerns.
If you have any information regarding these events, please contact us - all contact will remain anonymous.
Anyone caught damaging Saddle Club property will be prosecuted and held financially liable. If you see anyone damaging any property, common or private, CALL THE POLICE!
