We took a straw poll and it looks like people are ready to go back to meeting in person again. Angela Bjerke has offer the use of her home, therefore, we are scheduling an "in person" meeting for 3 P.M. on Sunday October 16th at 6859 Taft Court.

 

•    Recommended Officers for 2023 are: President, Frank “Ted” Blanchard; Corporate Secretary; and Treasurer, Debbie Yergert.

•    Proposed Budget for 2023 is to carry forward the 2022 budget without changes.
A copy of the proposed budget and current expenses can be found posted on the website under Financials. http://www.stefanridgehoa.com/

 

•    As we begin to look at what is "Normal" as we close out the Covid-19 pandemic, there are a number of opportunities to get to know your neighbors better. We are looking for groups that would be interested in some of the following activities:

 

o    The area that can make the most difference would be as volunteers to help with the Arvada Neighbors Connected program:. The goal would be to set up a group with at least one representative from each of the eight cul-de-sacs. You can obtain more in formation regarding this program from the City's web page: https://arvada.org/residents/city-neighborhoods/get-involved-neighborhood

o    We would like to see established a small group that would be willing to take on the issue of eventually replacing the Ash Trees over along Simms Street due to the Emerald Ash Borer infestation.

o    Holiday Lights contest. We have a couple of names already but we could use a couple more people to be judges.

o    Looking for additional help to be on the Greeting Committee for welcoming new homeowners.

o    The City has grant money and we have a matching fund set aside for a Neighborhood Block Party, but we need some people to help organize it. To make this happen we need to start in February making plans and setting dates.

 

•    Note: additional items may be added with the Board’s recommendation prior to the meeting.

 

You can also check out the Stefan Ridge HOA website in the Members Only Corner for additional information.

Thanks for your time, and we look forward to seeing you there.

All Arvada Residents are invited to participate in community-wide drop off events. These events are included in the minimum services that Arvada customers invest in as part of the City's Waste and Recycling Program. In an effort to keep leaves out of the landfill and off of City streets where they can block storm drains, free residential leaf recycling is available.

If so, you can purchase tags for extra trash bags--especially handy this time of year when all those leaf bags won't fit in your trash can! Tags are just $3.50 per bag, and you can pick them up at City Hall (8101 Ralston Road) or call 720-898-7070 for more info.

 

It is against municipal code to sweep/blow your leaves (or any other debris) into the streets. Not only do they find their way into our storm drains, but piles of leaves can cause damage to our street sweepers. Often times, trash and damaging debris end up hidden in leaf piles, and when a sweeper is damaged, the amount of sweeping we can achieve is reduced. Thank you in advance!
