Be advised that there have been several vehicular break-ins reported in Lea Estates north of Applegate. As a precaution all vehicles should be garaged or parked in driveways close to the rear of the house and locked. Leave nothing of value in sight within the vehicle. If you have anti-theft devices or alarms, be sure they are set. (Posted 11/10/2009)

Update!! (01/27/2010) Last week a truck was stolen from one of our homeowners. The vehicle was parked in their driveway. Be advised and take precautions to prevent this happening to you.
Delinquent Dues Collections...
On January 14, 2010, the Association had three cases settled in small claims court concerning homeowners who were delinquent in paying dues. In each case, the court found in favor of the Association and were awarded all past dues plus interest. The delinquent homeowners were also ordered to pay court costs and administration fees.
There are an additional seven homeowners in the neighborhood who have liens currently on their property because of failure to pay their annual dues. We regret that these steps are necessary to enforce the legally binding contracts. Please read the articles available on the About Us page for clarification of the purpose and legality of the Neighborhood Association and the Deed of Restrictions or Contact Us with your questions.
Crime Watch Advisory...
And then there were two?
It has come to our knowledge that one of our homeowners has incorporated as Friendly Hills East Property Owners Association, Inc. This new corporation has no affiliation with the Neighborhood Association and is not authorized to collect dues or fees pertaining to Friendly Hills East Neighborhood Association. We hope there is no intended malice or an attempt to usurp the function of the Neighborhood Association in the formation of this corporation. If you are contacted by a representative of this corporation, be advised that they have no legal governing status and are not sanctioned as such by the Friendly Hills East Neighborhood Association. Any further questions or comments can be made through our Contact page.

"Something Good" is about to happen for walkers in Friendly Hills East Section
After filing many complaints with Metro Public Works about the condition of our crumbling sidewalks we have received word that repair/replacement work is coming our way. Our section is slated for side walk renovation thanks to the Federal Stimulus Grant soon to be released. The majority of problems are at the intersections where side streets enter into Michael Ray Drive. Out of a list of 19 locations being repaired with stimulus money in District 23, we got eleven of them.  Let's be proud of this accomplishment.
Work is scheduled at the following addresses located on Michael Ray Drive.
(1) 8605 (2) 8609 (3) 8611 (4) 8619 (5) 8621 (6) 8627 (7) 8701 (8) 8705 (9) 8709
Also: 8417 Acme Way (at the stop sign) and across the street at 8420 Acme Way ( section of side walk on Michael Ray)

Street repair
Pot holes to be filled on Acme Way.
The developer of Hidden Creek is to mill, patch and resurface the pot holes caused by heavy equipment traveling on our streets to their development.
We asked for much more but it's our understanding that the original developer is gone and a partner is trying to do what he can (afford) to correct the problem that was created on Acme Way. If anyone one has any "pull" please feel free to use it so we can get more than just a patch job.
Per Greg Hicks - Exec. Engineer - Metro Public Works
