Community News -- June 2009

Arbor Roses Neighborhood Yard Sale: The second annual neighborhood garage sale is slated for the weekend of June 26th, 27th, and 28th. The advertised hours will be 9am to 4pm Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. But you can decide to participate for as little or as much of that time as you choose. The HOA will do all the signs along the main roads, and advertisements in the Oregonian, and Argus. The homeowners just need to put up signs to direct traffic down the side streets and put out their stuff. Make money off your unneeded stuff!

 

ARBOR ROSES VANDALISM: Vandalism is becoming a serious concern in our neighborhood. The Board of Directors of the HOA would like to make you aware of what has happened recently. Most of these incidents have occurred in the past few weeks. Faucet handles removed from faucets in the men's room of the clubhouse. Gang graffiti and other signs and initials carved in the picnic tables at the playground. Gang graffiti carved into the wall of the men's room at the clubhouse. Obscenities carved into the woodwork in the men's room. The lock punched out of the paper towel holder in the men's room. Gang graffiti carved into the wood of the gazebo at the end of Bianca Street, near the Wetlands. Condoms found near the clubhouse. Fires started near a residence by a model rocket launcher. Juveniles smoking cigarettes near the clubhouse. Pool furniture thrown into the pool after hours. A male juvenile was seen going into the Ladies room with girls. A juvenile was observed riding a motor scooter without a helmet on the public street and on the lawns near the clubhouse. A group of juveniles has been observed several time loitering near the clubhouse. Juveniles were seen filling water balloons at the clubhouse and leaving the debris from the broken balloons in the area and disturbing the landscaping. Juveniles were seen reaching through the gate to allow access to the pool area without a fob after hours. Empty beer bottles were thrown into the pond at the entrance to our neighborhood. The door knob has been broken off one of the doors to the clubhouse. A male juvenile was seen eating in front of the clubhouse leaving his litter of a plastic spoon and pineapple rind. Besides letting you know what is going on in our neighborhood we also need to let you know that there are consequences to the list above as many of them are costly to all of us as homeowners. Repairing the damage is likely to eventually result in an increase of homeowner's dues. It is fair to say that we all hope to live in a safe, worry free neighborhood. Some of the incidents above have required the Hillsboro Police and/or the Hillsboro Fire Departments to respond. With summer on the way and more free time for our younger residents, the Board of Directors would like to encourage parents of teenagers to know where your children are and with whom they are associating.
