Bella Vista - August 2014

Copyright © 2014 Peel, Inc. Bella Vista Bulletin - August 2014 1

August 2014 Official Publication of the Bella Vista Homeowners Association Volume 6, Issue 8

NOTE NEW LOCATION:Monthly Board meetings begin at 6pm at the RealManage office, 9601

Amberglen Blvd, Suite 150, Bldg G, Austin TX 78729 (next to Lifetime Fitness on RR 620 service road) on the first Wednesday of each month, and a notice is

posted on the Bella Vista website at least 3 days before the meeting.

The Board met on July 9 and minutes will be posted to the Bella Vista website after Board approval in August. The Board was pleased to appoint Sam Stephens as Director who will fill Wayne’s remaining term. Sam has owned a home in Bella Vista since 2010 and he also owns a business in Coupland, Texas.

Pool – The new pool policy is provided in this issue and new signs will be posted at the pool in August. State law requires an emergency telephone be available at the pool; however, the current equipment is not working properly and will be replaced later this summer.

Annexation – The Board is pleased to report that the City of Cedar Park is offering full purpose annexation to Bella Vista and Twin Creeks which will cost each homeowner less than the current MUD & ESD annual taxes. Since this is a voluntary annexation, petition signatures of 50% of all “property owners” will be required. Upon annexation all City services will be provided including Fire, Police, Animal Control, Street Maintenance, Street Light Electricity, Code Enforcement,

Parks and Library access. We will also be allowed to vote in every election, run for office and serve on City related Boards and Commissions. Bella Vista’s HOA will remain in place to manage the common areas, amenities and deed restriction violations. More details will be provided in the coming weeks so please be alert for additional correspondence and community meeting notices.

Storage Development – The sidewalk along Dies Ranch Road has been extended beyond the entrance to the new storage facility by the developer. However, the sidewalk will not be fully complete until the remaining property is developed.

Activities – The Calcote family is leaving Bella Vista; therefore, we are in need of a new Recreation Committee Chair. Please contact one of the Board members if you are interested in this great opportunity to serve the community.

Website – The Board is investigating a redesign of the current website which would make it easier to use andlocate information.

Aug. 28th: Got2Swim 11k Lake Austin. View event details. www.tinych.org/Got2Swim

The Music Teachers National Association just awarded your local association as being the 2014 State Affiliate of the Year or the best in our country!

Why? Because of “programming for students” which includes 20 events and “community outreach” such as Youth Music Ambassadors which means the most opportunities for your child!

Also, our Dr. Martha Hilley right here in Austin at the University of Texas, was selected as the Teacher of the Year for Music Teachers National Association. We here in Austin nominated her for that award and then she was selected as that first at the state level and then nationally! Dr. Hilley’s teaching sparkles with a fountain of electrically inspiring ideas. She also is a writer and deeply involved on a statewide level with the governing of our colleges. Her picture

Submitted by: Nell Trimble, Benevolence Chair for A.D.M.T.A.and caption supporting President Powers was on page 2 of the 7/13SundayAustinAmericanStatesman.

In addition Dr. Sophia Gilmsom was just awarded silver in the Global Music Awards for her CD of the Goldberg Variations On Harpsichord and Piano by Johann Sebastian Bach. Dr. Gilmsom is the head of Piano Pedagogy at the university here.

Perhaps the most outstanding concert I have ever been to was her performance of that work both on the piano and harpsichord. How totally different was the music on the two instruments!

To find a piano teacher in your area, go to www.admta.org, click on the link to “Community Resources” on the home page for our new “Find a Teacher” registry with descriptions of each teacher’s program in their studios.
