Coming Events
Park / TrailSeveral association members who live along the trail and the park area or the south portion of the trail expressed their concerns about a board plan to dispose of the south park area during the February board meeting. The homeowners emphasized that they felt any other use than as a park or trail for this Association property would reduce their property values and their quality of life in The Falls. Board members indicated that they were just beginning to research the idea of disposal.The members pointed out the damage done by this winter’s ice storm. The board will be concentrating on cleaning up downed trees and limbs. Also, there was discussion of the condition of the trail. The board will be looking into adding gravel to the trail. Finally, there was some discussion about concerns that the play equipment in the playground area was increasing the Association’s insurance costs. Several members suggested removing the play equipment if that would lower costs to the Association. Also, they were not sure that the play equipment received much use. Web SiteAssociation Secretary Brian Stern has been adding features to the association website. It now has the Association Articles, By-laws, CC&R's, budgets for 2002, 2003 and 2004, and past newsletters for 2003. Also, Brian is posting the minutes of each board meeting.The objective of the web site is to improve communication between the membership and the board with information that is of concern to the membership. Brian is always looking for ideas to improve the web site. If you have any suggestions or questions contact Brian Stern at snohomishfalls@hotmail.com. WaterfallYou may have noticed that the waterfall has not been running. The waterfall has been having electrical problems. An Association member, who is an electrician, has volunteered to look at the problems. Also, during last fall, the waterfall was clogging up with leaves from surrounding deciduous trees. Rick Bond, our landscaper, is looking into trimming some of those trees to reduce the clogging.Landscape PlanOur landscaper, Rick Bond, has begun to develop a landscape improvement plan for our common areas. During the March board meeting he provided a preliminary plan for the north median. Association member Steve Moller has volunteered to work with Rick in developing the plan. If you have any suggestions or questions please contact Steve at snohomishfalls@hotmail.com. The Association will work with you on a payment plan.Crime Prevention NewsletterThe Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office publishes a regular crime prevention newsletter on its web site.
