Friends of the Pond

Many thanks to all who participated in the Pond and Dam discussion and vote at our Special Meeting last night, and preceding vote this past week!

The Officers of the TSHOA Board are pleased to announce that with 177 votes cast, both HOA funding measures passed; 61% in favor its share of the Pond Remediation Plan, and 63% in favor of repairing the spillway on HOA property.

This decision confirms our neighborhood’s commitment to maintaining healthy ponds, and allows “Friends Of The Pond” to continue its efforts at remediation, and Robert Abbott’s company Remediators LLC to begin work immediately on the spillway. We are very grateful for this commitment, and thank all who had an ongoing role in developing this initiative. GIVE TO POND 3! As mentioned, the dam at the back of Pond #3 (east of the Tonkawa Trail bridge) is broken and in desperate need of repair as well! Repairs on this project are still under review, but because it sits on private property, the HOA has no ability to fund its repair. The budget for such is estimated to be around $25,000, far more than any single or even small group of homeowners can afford. Therefore, a funding portal has been set up through the non-profit “Friends Of The Pond” to allow the entire community to contribute in the same spirit of generosity shown in the HOA initiative. Please give early and often!
