Meadows of Brushy Creek
HOA Violations
Fellow Meadows Homeowners,
Based on feedback that was received at the 2012 annual meeting, the HOA Board has been looking into the best way to help ensure that we continue to have one of the nicest looking communities in the area. As part of this process we looked at what other neighboring associations are doing and tried to adopt the best practices of each of them. We want to find an even balance between under and over managing our community while at the same time keeping our property values as high as possible. Below is a draft of a compliance proposal that would provide up to two courtesy notices being sent out prior to any fines being implemented, and you will see that the dollar amounts fit the severity of the issue (i.e. trash can violations are smaller than the fines for yards that are in need of maintenance, etc.). Our only goal is to keep us all proud of our neighborhood and maintain our home values. We hope that no fines ever need to be issued, but we believe that some type of formal structure needs to be put in in place to ensure compliance with our neighborhoods deed restrictions. Please take a few minutes to review this draft and then we request your feedback by contacting our management company:
Debra Johnson at Goodwin Management
[email protected] (512) 502-7043
Thank you for your time and we hope to hear from you.Your MBCHOA Board

Yard Of The Month
The new yard of the month sign was placed at 8810 Ficke Cove for March. At this time of the year, we will be looking for fences, neatly trimmed shrubs, and the landscraping design as a whole. This home is on a large corner lot which takes a lot of time and work. Drive by and take a look!

Fifty-five Cub Scouts from Round Rock Pack 174 visited the USS Lexington (CV-16) on an overnight trip to Corpus Christi. The Scouts and leaders stayed overnight in the original crew quarters and learned about the ship's history. Commissioned in 1943, the Lexington was the oldest working carrier in the United States Navy when decommissioned in 1991.

We would like the homeowners to know their board a little better sowe’ve decided to Introduce ourselves. My name is Joe Chateau and
I’m the editor of the newsletter, or at least our part of the newsletter. My wife Isabel and I have enjoyed our home here for about fifteen years.
I’m a retired school teacher, but I still manage to sub a few times a week. In my spare time I enjoy gardening and woodworking. You’ve probably seen me walking our two little dogs around the neighborhood. Don’t be afraid to stop us as we’re making our rounds. We’re all very friendly!
