Recently, Matthew Frank HOA residents mistakenly received a letter from the City of Portland describing upcoming changes to curbside collection service that is set to begin on October 31.
Please disregard this letter, as this program is for single-family homes and buildings with 4 or fewer units only. Again, no further action is needed at this time; your garbage and recycling services will continue as they are.
If you have any further questions or concerns please contact Candra Cole.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this homeowner survey. The committee was very pleased with the survey’s response rate–about half of the HOA (53 people) participated in the survey. From the survey responses, there appears to not be enough support to pass a rental cap policy at this time. Several comments were made in regards to the timing of a policy. There is concern that now is not a good time to pursue this type of policy, given the construction defect lawsuit and the weak economy. Interested homeowners are welcome to re-visit this topic in the future.
Some residents in 2 and 3 bedroom units have reported issues with how their water heaters were installed. This is a homeowner issue, not an HOA issue. If you believe you have an issue with your water heater due to how it was installed, you may contact A-Temp Heating and Cooling (atempheatingandcooling.com) since they did the original installation. The scope of work for the install can be found here.
Again, this is not an HOA issue, but we wanted to provide the information for homeowner use.

With Thanksgiving Day, the holiday season has arrived. We would like to encourage everyone to be safe as you celebrate with friends and family over the next few months. Many of us will be decorating our homes with lights and candles which can bring along some potential dangers.
Please take a look at this document for a few safety tips!

In May, the Landscaping Committee started the process of requesting bids for a new landscaping company. After reviewing several new companies and meeting with and walking through the property with three of those companies the landscape committee made a recommendation to the HOA Board.
We are happy to announce that as of July 1st, 2010 the HOA Board approved our selection of Crystal Springs Landscapes, Inc as our new landscaping company.
Crystal Springs will be doing our routine maintenance as well as several rehabilitation projects throughout our property over the next several months. You have probably already noticed the pruning and that will continue in the bio-swale area this week and next.
Crystal Springs also wanted to take this opportunity to inform you that they will be applying a product to take care of those pesky weeds and clover you see throughout the turf grass. Although this is a safe and standard practice and the product dissipates within 2 hrs they do recommend that pets, children and bare feet be kept off turf grass for 4-8 hrs. The application will take place on Friday, July 16th during our ‘new’ normal maintenance day.
There is a lot of work to be done, but the landscape committee is very excited to welcome Crystal Springs on board and are looking forward to a renewed landscape through our partnership with them.
Have you found a leak in your unit? Please be sure and follow the procedures documented here to report it. This will ensure all of the issues are properly documented. The first step is to contact Candra at Northwest Community Management.
