CHECK IT OUT 
The Enclave board meeting held on May 22 had one of the best turnouts since this current board was seated.  In addition to in-person attendees, the long awaited remote meeting capabilities went live!  Even coffee and donuts didn’t bring out this many folks for the Saturday morning meetings.  Maybe the board should consider making the Saturday morning meetings later than 9am?  Food for thought.  

There’s still lots of buzz in the neighborhood regarding a resident with a felony conviction living among us, and the new background check policy introduced undoubtedly brought a few new faces to join us.  Effective today, any person wishing to rent a property in the Enclave will be subjected to a criminal background check along with a credit check before being approved to rent here.  Landlords will need to allow at least 20 days for processing.  Sentry Management will administer this program with the assistance of a volunteer resident committee.  If you want to be involved in this endeavor, contact the board at board@enclavelsl.com.  

GREEN WITH ENVY
The soaking rains we had over the past couple weeks have made a world of difference in our lawns.  This again underscores that our sprinkler system is not a substitute for Mother Nature, but a supplement.  To be sure, there are still a few trouble spots, but things are going in the right direction.  The new well is almost ready to be activated, and it couldn’t come at a better time as we will need that supplemental water to get us through another dry spell we are entering.   Watch this space for updates on the new schedules.  

In other sprinkler news, the board announced that going forward, replacing any damaged sprinkler heads not caused by Juniper's mowers will be a homeowner expense.  Before the gnashing of teeth and outrage begin, think about it:  everything in and around our homes is guaranteed for one year.  After that time, any appliance, dead tree, cracked tile, etc is a homeowner expense.   Things wear out and nothing is guaranteed forever.  The sprinkler issue is following that same logic.  We all know that our sprinkler system is on the low end of quality, and most of the homes here are beyond the one year warranty period.  In the meantime, you can help by tapping down any heads that are stuck, and/or placing “donuts” around your heads.  You are forewarned.

I’LL BE WATCHING YOU
The Enclave will begin its own Neighborhood Watch Program to work with the Master program.   Jonathan Thompson is heading this committee and is seeking volunteers.  I believe the goal is to have one watch person for every 10 houses, so he’s looking for 20 people.  If you have any questions or are interested in serving, contact the board at board@enclavelsl.com
