May 2014 Official Publication of the Bella Vista Homeowners Association Volume 6, Issue 5
The Board met on April 2, and minutes will be posted to the Bella Vista website (www.bellavista-hoa.com/bellavista/home.asp) after Board approval in May.
Annual Meeting – Mark your calendars for this important meeting. It’s scheduled for 7 pm on May 21 at the RealManage office, and you should receive an Annual Meeting packet in early May with the logistics, agenda, and instructions for electronic voting. One thing we plan to share with residents is capital and park improvement ideas to gauge community interest.
Electronic Voting – HOA members will vote this year on 3 open Board positions, but if you just can’t attend, you’ll now have a way to vote online. E-voting is described inside as convenient and a great time saver. It also increases participation and helps ensure we have a quorum, thus avoiding the cost and effort of a repeat election if not enough people show up.
Xeriscaping – A finalized Xeriscaping policy is still on track for the May-June timeframe, and highlights are included in this newsletter.
Annexation – The City and MUDs continue to negotiate toward a resolution on the Reserve Fund issue that stalled the most recent partial annexation effort.
Fence Repair – Warning letters are starting to go out to homeowners with fences needing maintenance, so take care of that during our nice spring weather to avoid the hassle.
Maintenance – Occasionally reading the minutes is a good way to keep track of Board activities, including all of the maintenance on common areas that benefit the entire community. In March, one light pole and three manhole covers were repaired, the large sewer overflow tank on Campanello was secured due to Homeland Security measures, five irrigation leaks were fixed, the pool phone and side gate were repaired, and the pool itself was prepared and opened for the Summer season.
Facebook – Four new members joined our very active Facebook group this month (www.facebook.com/groups/60243129318/). We’re now up to 226, but with 301 households, some people are still missing out on this fun way to socialize and participate in the community.
Monthly Board meetings begin at 6pm at the RealManage office (10800 Pecan Park Blvd, Suite 100) on the first Wednesday of each
month, and a notice is posted on the Bella Vista website at least 3 days before the meeting.

A growing number of states, including Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, South Carolina, and Texas, have passed legislation allowing HOAs to offer electronic voting to their members. The BV Board decided to offer this option for property owners unable to attend the annual meeting on May 21 to vote in person, because the benefits are just too attractive to ignore:
E-Voting is convenient. Homeowners can study the ballot, candidates, and issues when it’s convenient for them to do so, and then vote from anywhere using a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
E-Voting increases participation. Besides the convenience for people who can’t cast their votes in person, it helps the association make quorum and avoid the cost of repeating an election if not enough people vote.
E-Voting is a huge time-saver for HOA residents and officials, especially in counting ballots. That’s because results are tabulated as soon as votes are cast, are 100% accurate, and recounting is avoided.
E-Voting is more secure. Only one vote is allowed per property, and while most paper HOA ballots or proxy forms are easily photo copied, it’s very difficult for someone to actually hack into a well-protected electronic voting system.
You will need your Bella Vista customer number to register and vote online at https://bellavista.ivotehoa.com/protected/accountSignup.php. It will be provided in the Annual Meeting package that’s being mailed to each property owner in early May, but if you don’t get it by May 14, just call Real Manage (866-473-2573).
The e-voting service we chose allows us to create a personalized voting website for unlimited use with elections, surveys, annexation approval, and mass email messaging. You can watch how it works at the link below and notice the various features such as the ability to write-in candidates and abstain from voting but still count toward making quorum.

BELLA VISTA ADOPTS E-VOTING
4 Bella Vista Bulletin - May 2014 Copyright © 2014 Peel, Inc.
When attending the HOA annual meeting on May 21, you’ll learn about past and future community activities and can show support for your past and new HOA leadership. Attending is also a good way to connect with your neighbors. The meeting details, agenda, a list of candidates for open positions, and information about our new E-Voting process will be mailed separately. It will also describe how you can put your name in the hat to run for office too, and that’s why I’m writing this editorial – to encourage others to get involved on the Board or in committees.
Finding a cause. When James asked me to run for office last year, I was apprehensive since I had no experience on an HOA board or in elected office. But as a consumer advocate at heart, I found my first year rewarding on many levels and am happy to serve in the community where I live with my lovely wife, Yvonne.
No experience necessary. I took advantage of the training for new board members that Real Manage offered, and encourage others to do the same, knowing that we’re also good at something, and you can find your niche in a leadership board position or on a committee. See the inside flap of this newsletter for the current board and committee contacts or http://www.bellavista-hoa.com/bellavista/committee_main.asp for other members of the Architectural Control, Maintenance, Pool, Publicity, Recreation, and Welcoming committees.
Guiding principles. After attending the orientation class, I adopted a set of principles to guide my decision-making: (1) preserve and enhance property values, (2) ensure safety of residents, and (3) promote harmony among community neighbors.
REFLECTIONS ON MY FIRST YEAR
Editorial by Wayne Caswell, Newsletter Editor
Balance on the Board. Because the annual meeting will include an election of officers, here’s what I think makes for a harmonious and well-run HOA board. It starts with balance – having a mix of perspectives that represent families with young kids, older kids or no kids, and getting viewpoints from all sections of the neighborhood including that of both Pulte homes and Wilshire homes. We have that with the current board, and it has worked well in my view. Next, is leadership, so I’d like to share my sincere appreciation for the current HOA President, Veronica
Frederick, and the fine job she did as our senior executive in keeping the board focused and on track. She is one of three board members who are completing their 2-year terms and must either step down or get re-elected.
More Thanks. Actually, I’m happy with all of my fellow board members. Besides encouraging me to serve, James Smith was a driving force behind community projects like landscaping the entries and decorating them for Christmas, saving us thousands of dollars over contracting that work out. Julie Fowler, who like me was a newbie on the board, served as secretary and chair of the Pool committee and did a phenomenal job, even bringing refreshments to board meetings with a get-it-done attitude. Steve Bosak shared his experience at the City Parks & Recreation Department while serving as Maintenance Committee Chairman. And John Shumaker, who served in the past on the board, stayed active as chairman of the ACC, did a great job there, and even attended many of the board meetings. I’m so grateful to all for making my first year so rewarding.

KEEPING BABIES SAFE Cleaning out your children’s closets can do some good this Mother’s
Day. With the goal to collect diapers, baby clothes and micro donations, Austin’s Largest Baby Shower is an eleven-day city-wide event benefiting three outstanding community organizations: Austin LifeCare Center, Any Baby Can and St. David’s Neonatal ICU. All three provide diapers and supplies to families in need.
Why a Baby Shower? Although Austin landed on Forbes’ 20 fastest growing cities and is a great place to live, Austin also ranked #2 in the US with the highest rate of growing poverty in the suburbs. With the rising demand from middle class working families needing assistance, community organizations such as Any Baby Can, a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of children and strengthening families, combat the impact of Austin’s rising cost of living. Many of these working class families are finding providing for their family or getting ready for baby is much more expensive than they first planned. As a result, community groups offering emergency assistance for daily essentials are over taxed and limiting their programs.
“No one group can meet the demand on their own. Austin’s Largest Baby Shower provides community organizations aid to continue with their much needed programs,” said Doreen Sims, founder of Austin’s Largest Baby Shower. “It is heart breaking when I hear that the rising demographic of Austin’s homeless are women and children. At no fault of their own, they are finding themselves priced out of a housing market due to divorce, loss of income or unexpected medical expenses.”
Awarding Austin’s Top Communities Organizations: This eleven-day fundraiser starts with a great kickoff event. On May 7th at the Balcones Country Club, the LifeLine Awards Luncheon and Fundraiser will honor Austin LifeCare Center, Any Baby Can and St. David’s Neonatal ICU. “It’s amazing what these organizations do. They provide free parenting classes, clothing, baby supplies and emergency assistance to those in need.” Sims stated. “Because of their dedication and commitment to be a lifeline to families in need, Texas State Rep Dawnna Dukes and former Anchor of KEYE, Ron Oliveira agreed to lend their voices to address this issue at the award luncheon.”
Several Austin companies have joined the event as well. BabyEarth, RBFCU, Balcones Country Club and more are providing their stores as drop off locations for the supply drive. To learn how you can get involved and donate visit atxbabyshower.com.
WATER CONSERVATION Tips of the Month
Look for products bearing the EPA WaterSense Label for items that have been certified to save 20% or more without sacrificing performance. (http://www.epa.gov/watersense/)
Aerate your lawn at least once a year so water can reach the roots rather than run off the surface.

X e r i s c a p i n g ( l e s s commonly xeriscaping, d r a u g h t - t o l e r a n t landscaping, or smart-scaping) means using nat ive and adapt ive plants that can grow and sustain themselves with low water requirements to tolerate heat and drought conditions. It can also mean rep lac ing tur f grass with rock, gravel, decomposed granite , h a r d w o o d m u l c h , or other loose stone material for a ground cover that is maintained to prevent weed growth without using toxic or environmentally harmful chemicals. The State of Texas promotes xeriscaping for resource conservation and environmental protection. Working with our attorneys and responding to new legislation, the HOA Board has been developing a new xeriscaping policy, which we hope to finalize in the May-June timeframe. This article is for those who want to jump-start the process, but remember that you must still submit an ACC request form for approval. Here are the fundamentals of what they will look at:
AESTHETICS – The Xeriscaping must be aesthetically compatible with other landscaping in the community as reasonably determined by the ACC.
COVERAGE – No Owners shall install rock, gravel, decomposed granite, hardwood mulch, or other loose stone material for a ground cover that in the aggregate encompass more than 75% of such Owner’s front yard. Conversely, this means that at least 25% of the visible lawn area should contain green lawn (turf ) areas.
INTEREST – Large areas should not be composed of a single material, i.e. bare mulch/rock is not allowed unless interspersed with plants. Hardscapes can include large boulders or other natural materials that are used as part of the landscaping design. The ACC prefers to see natural colored rock or masonry that matches existing housing.
SAFETY – For public safety, and in accordance with City regulations, no plant with thorns, spines, or sharp edges may be used within 6’ of the public sidewalks. Also, no plants higher than 18” may be planted in the sidewalk strip area, as this constitutes a visual safety hazard to pedestrians and drivers.
SIDEWALK STRIP – Residents should consider converting the strip areas between sidewalk and curb from turf grasses to xerophytic materials and
plants, since these areas are difficult to water without street runoff. This area may be composed of 100% river rock, mulch, or other material approved by the ACC. No boulders or large rocks exceeding 12” in height may be used on the narrow strips between public sidewalks and the street curb. Use of potted plants is not allowed in the nuisance strip.
MAINTENANCE – Sickly and dying plants must be removed or replaced, and perennials that go dormant during winter should be cut back to remove dead materials. This includes most ornamental grasses and flowering perennials. Weeds, which can still grow up between rocks and gravel, should be removed.
PLANT HEALTH – The Xeriscaping must not attract diseases and insects that are harmful to the existing landscaping on neighboring Lots, as reasonably determined by the ACC.
REFERENCE – Recommendations on which plants to use, and which to avoid, are provided in the 52-page booklet, “Native and Adaptive Landscape Plants: an earthwise guide for Central Texas.” It’s also known as the “Grow Green” book and is available for free at most nurseries and garden centers or online at http://austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/Watershed/growgreen/plantguide.pdf. This booklet contains photos and a wealth of information about the plants, turf, and trees that do well in Bella Vista, including which ones are native and need little water.

The Modern Game: The Top Spin Forehand
By USPTA/PTR Master Professional Fernando Velasco
TENNISTIPS
Look in the next Newsletter for: “The Modern Game: The Backhand Top Spin”
In previous newsletters, I offered tips on how to execute the basic strokes for players who are starting to play tennis or who want to get back into the game.
From this newsletter on, I will be offering suggestions on how to play the “modern” game mostly geared towards players who are happy with hitting the ball over the net and controlling the point with consistency. These players may be already playing for leagues or tournaments and are looking for more “weapons” on the court.
In this issue, I will offer instructions on how to execute the Top Spin Forehand. This shot is used when a player is now hitting the ball long and out. The ball will be aimed high over the net and hit with power. The ball will have a “top spin” so that when the ball hits the court, it will take a big hop, forcing the opponent to fall back close to the fence, or to hit the ball on the rise.
In the illustrations, Danny Rodriguez, Director of the Pre-Advanced Tennis Program at the Grey Rock Tennis Club, shows the proper technique to execute this stroke. This shot can also be executed from the service line as an “approach shot” to the net.
Step 1: The Ready Position: When Danny prepares to hit
a forehand top spin, he will change his grip toward the “semi-western” or “full western grip” (The palm of the hand is flat on the handle). His knees are slightly flexed and his eyes are focused on the oncoming ball.
Step 2: The Back Swing: Danny is now ready to perform the shot. The head of the racket is now above is head, his shoulders are turned, the left hand is in front to help him keep the center of gravity in front, and he has loaded his weight to the back foot. His grip is relaxed and his wrist is “laid back” to allow maximum point of contact.
Step 3: The Point of Contact: The success of a top spin shot is keeping the ball on the strings going from low to high in a 30 degree angle. Danny started the swing high and “looped” it to allow the head of the racket ti drop down. He will be brushing the ball as he makes contact with it. His left shoulder is almost opening and his weight has now been shifted toward the front.
Step 4: The Follow Through: Notice Danny’s finish above his left ear and his elbow pointing toward his target. He has now shifted his weight on his right foot and is ready to shuffle back to his home base.
