Preserve East Home Owner Association Hand Over

I want to take this opportunity to inform you of recent changes in the Preserve East Homeowners association and introduce you to the Association board.

First, as was always stated in the bylaws of the association, once the development reached 130 occupied homes, the association would be turned over to the Homeowners and residents.  This transition took place in July of this year through a vote by those Homeowners who participated in a meeting held by Hans Hagen.  Once the association was turned over, a board was selected from those participants who wished to serve.  Your Preserve East Homeowners association board is made up of the following people, all of whom live in the Preserve East neighborhood;

Denise Hehir – Vice President;

Shawn Dusosky – Treasurer;

Maureen Buss – Secretary

Wendy Lindquist – Member at Large

Eric Pohl – President

As your board it is our responsibility to oversee all common areas of the development which consists primarily of the median in the middle of Oakwood Parkway.  We are responsible for contracting all landscaping services, sprinkler system services and any additional enhancements we elect to contract such as Christmas lighting.  Going forward, we are also responsible for the collection of the annual homeowners’ assessments which provide the funds for these services and projects.  We will be sending out 2012 statements in January with the first payment due in February.  As a reminder, if you still have not paid a portion or all of your assessments for 2011, or any other year, please do so now.  We are looking into ways to allow for electronic transfers for future assessment payments, but in the meantime all payments should be sent to the following address; Preserve East HOA, PO Box 305, St. Michael MN 55376.

As your board, and homeowners ourselves, it is our commitment to continue to provide and enhance our neighborhoods attractiveness and desirability as a place to live and raise a family.  For this reason, we have created a blog for our neighborhood that can be viewed at http://preserve-east-stm.blogspot.com/  We will be providing updates and neighborhood news on a periodic basis as well as uploading documents and information relevant to our Home Owners Association.  As well, we have set up an email address where you can email us with your concerns, comments and questions.  That address is PreserveEastSTM@gmail.com  We encourage all homeowners and residents to check out the blog as well as send us your email information so that we can begin to maintain communication electronically for neighborhood updates etc.  We will not share nor send you any emails regarding non-HOA news or activities.

In closing, we would like to thank all of you in advance for your support as your board and encourage you to become active in our neighborhood.
