I hope everyone had a nice summer and I’m sure we’re all looking forward to cooler weather. As a reminder, the pool at the Community Center will close after Labor Day weekend, but the Windmill Pool will still be open.

It’s time for the Annual Election and four candidates are running for four open seats. It’s crucial to cast your vote so that quorum can be met so please review your packets in October and mail or drop your absentee ballots at the office. In person voting will take place at the Annual Meeting at 7:00pm in the cafeteria of the Coyote Trail Elementary School on October 24, 2023.

Since the dues were last increased five years ago, the U.S. has seen a cumulative price increase of about 20%. In order to keep up with inflation and maintain the strong levels of Reserves that CRCA currently has, it will be necessary to increase assessments in the upcoming fiscal year by as much as 12%. Board members are analyzing expenses and we will continue to make sure 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.  

Greetings! I hope you are enjoying the sunny weather this summer. It’s great to see the community utilizing the pools, especially with kids being on break.

In May, a leak in the splash pad system was discovered and had to be closed in order to investigate and schedule repairs, which are expected to be completed by the first week of July. We are working hard to ensure that it remains functional for the rest of the season. Please remember to follow all the rules and show kindness and respect to one another and the pool monitors.

When walking your pets, please be mindful of others by cleaning up after them. It has come to my attention that some people leave their pet’s droppings on the sidewalk, which can be unpleasant for others. Let’s all contribute to keeping our sidewalks clean and safe. 

I’m excited for the upcoming Fourth of July festivities! The town will be hosting celebrations at the Silverbell district park crossroads on Tuesday, July 4th. Remember to prioritize your safety and have a great holiday.

Thank you!

Hello Everyone,

We had a great turnout at the Annual Easter Egg Hunt on April 8^th, and it was so nice to see so many families enjoying the spring day. I want to give a big thank you to Paula Bellina, and all the volunteers, for organizing and setting things up. Everyone worked together to bring the most significant CRCA event of the season to our community. I want to thank the residents who generously volunteered their time and contributed to making this event possible. Special thanks to the Boy Scouts Troop #219 and AAA Landscape for the immense help they provided as well. We also had a great turnout at the pool after the event. I hope everyone is looking forward to the community center pool opening this May 19^th. Just a friendly reminder, our semi-annual assessments are due May 1st and are considered late after May 15th. Please keep current on your dues to avoid going into delinquency status. If you are having financial issues, please reach out to the management office to set up some type of arrangement. I would also like to remind everyone that we are still in ‘weeds’ season. Please pay special attention to managing front yard weeds so that we can keep our community looking great. AAA Landscape is currently addressing community weeds and their spray division is working closely with the maintenance crew.

Thank you again everyone and enjoy this upcoming summer.

To all residents, the Windmill pool, spa and splash pad will be opening on March 1^st. I hope everyone enjoys the pool season and warmer weather. Over the winter, the pool deck was refurbished, the splash pad water features received a fresh coat of paint, and the artificial turf behind the splash pad was replaced. Spring also means the Easter Egg Hunt Event will soon be here, which is scheduled for April 8th, and includes activities for residents of all ages to have a great time. Anyone wishing to help out please do not hesitate to get in touch with the office. We could always use more volunteers for this big event. Spring also brings us our dreaded weeds. Please take control of weeds as soon as you see them so as to not receive a letter from the office. Pre-emergent is always an excellent way to go but is best applied before the weeds begin sprouting. Finally, please be considerate of your neighbors when taking your beloved animals for walks. I have noticed dog owners not being responsible and leaving their dog waste to be picked up by neighbors. Please carry bags and pick up after your furry friends, it is not your neighbor’s job to pick up your pet’s mess. 

Wishing all Continental Ranch residents a beautiful Spring season.
