The amended governing documents that were approved by vote of the Homeowners were recorded with the Rockwall County today, which means that they are now valid & enforceable. Homeowners will be receiving paper copies of these documents within sixty (60) days.
The Rockwall Police Department is pleased to announce today that it has implemented Smart911 and it is now available to all citizens. The Smart 911 system allows citizens to create a Safety Profile for their household, which will display vital information to 911 Dispatchers and will assist first responders when responding to an emergency; including police, fire and emergency medical personnel. The profile provides critical information to emergency services, which otherwise might not be relayed to 911 Dispatchers by someone who is having a crisis and may be struggling to provide the most basic information. “Having this system in place

A Recount of Votes Policy was adopted during Tuesday’s regular Board meeting to help ensure that the Association will not be responsible for the costs associated with such a request. The policy mirrors Texas Property Code Section 209.0057(b), which requires any party making the request to pay all costs associated with a recount unless the recount changes the results of a vote, wherein the Association would then be responsible to reimburse the requesting party/parties. This comes on the heels of a frivolous open-records request by a homeowner who was demanding that the Association (fellow homeowners) foot the bill for the time
A great big THANK YOU to homeowners David & Misty (and their daughter Ashleigh) Hoye for sacrificing their Saturday morning to help improve and beautify Quail Creek. The fence that runs along Pheasant Hill for fifty yards at the turn where Quail Creek Road ends and Pheasant Hill Drive begins, has always been a blight on the neighborhood. During last November’s Board meeting, David, who has teamed up with fellow member of the Archectural Review Committee (ARC) David Fuller to apply “cold patch” to the cracks at the entrance of our neighborhood, moved to approach the landowner for permission to paint the side
JANUARY 25, 2015, MCLENDON-CHISHOLM, TX–Tonight, by a 4 to 1 margin, the City Council of McLendon Chisholm voted to approve the purchase of a municipal bond in the amount of $2.125 million to fund construction of a new 5,000 sqft City Hall building, $612,500 more than the Council had told citizens. Shockingly, the first time that there was any hint of an increase came this evening just before they approved it and all without notifying taxpayers about the increase in advance! Mayor Gary Moody highlighted the bond rating and small amount of interest to be paid is an opportunity that the City cannot
FEC has replaced the lightbulbs for the center streetlight on Quail Creek and the other at the intersection of Partridge & Pheasant Hill. If you have a light that’s out, e-mail us the location, such as the address of the closest house, and the number that’s on the pole and we will notify FEC Electric.
By unanimous consent of the Board, a ten percent (10%) increase in the Annual Assessment was approved during December 2, 2014, Regular Meeting of the Board. This is an increase of $29 bringing next years annual dues up from $290 to $319. While the Association runs on a fiscal calendar from October through September and while homeowners are billed for the Annual Assessment in June, the Assessment actually begins on January 1, which is the Board is required to vote in December. Article 4.3(b) grants the Board the sole and exclusive authority to increase the annual assessment each year by as much
By unanimous consent, the Board adopted the first Fine and Enforcement Policy. This policy establishes the guidelines for the Board when enforcing the CC&Rs against homeowners who are out of compliance as well as the rights granted to homeowners under the law. Article 7.15(a) of the CC&Rs establishes that fines assessed may not exceed the then in effect annual assessment, per violation. For homeowners, this means that beginning January 1, 2015, the maximum that any homeowner may be fined is $319 per violation, which is equal to the 2015 annual assessment. This does little to motive those who wish to disregard the
Many enjoy its benefits, but few know the history behind our neighborhood park, which is the only park in the city of McLendon-Chisholm!. Prompted by neighbor Casey Berley, longtime resident Brett Packer attended the November 5th Board meeting to provide some background about our park named in honor of his older brother, Clint. He has also provided the following August 11, 2006, Dallas Morning News article entitled, “Park groundbreaking for town; McLendon-Chisholm: It’s community’s first, and couple’s tribute to son.” Following is the complete article: Beverly Stibbens thought an odd-shaped lot in her McLendon-Chisholm neighborhood would be hard to sell, so why not make it a park?
