President’s Message September/October 2025

I hope everyone had a great summer! As it comes to an end, I’m sure we are all looking forward to the cooler weather. Just a reminder: the pool at the Community Center will close after Labor Day weekend on September 2nd, but the Windmill Pool will remain open until November 1st.

 It’s time for the Annual Election, and three candidates are running for three open seats. 

It is important to cast your vote to ensure that the quorum is met. Please review your election packets in October and mail or drop off your absentee ballots at the office. In-person voting will take place at the Annual Meeting on October 28, 2025, at 6:00 PM in the cafeteria of Coyote Trail Elementary School. 

Over the past two years, we have experienced ongoing cost increases in maintaining reserve limits and sustaining our maintenance services. As a result, it will be necessary to increase assessments in the upcoming fiscal year by as much as 5%. Board members are analyzing expenses, and we will continue to ensure that every association dollar is spent wisely and with the community’s best interest in mind. While no increase is taken lightly, I am confident that Continental Ranch will continue to have low dues for all the great amenities it has to offer residents.

I’ve received several complaints about dog owners not cleaning up after their pets. This issue affects the entire Continental Ranch community, not just one specific area. I ask that you be considerate of your neighbors and take responsibility for your dog. Please make it a habit to pick up after your pet to help keep our community clean and safe. 

Thank you for your cooperation.
