Possible Cable TV Interruption Next Week


An tree service comes out to the community next Wednesday to grind and remove some tree stumps. Some of these have cable TV lines entangled in them because the trees grew around the stumps. The tree service says that it will work cautiously, but that it can't completely avoid cutting some of the cable lines.

If you lose your cable TV service that day, this is probably why. You will need to call your cable company to have the cable line repaired.

New Property Manager Same Payment Address

We get a new property manager February 1. However, we will not have to change the bank we use for HOA payments. This means that the mailing address, or electronic bill pay, if you bank online, does NOT change.

The HOA board will work with the new property management company to make as much of the transition invisible to you as possible.

Except the part where we get more visits to the property, and more hands-on service from the property manager.

HOA Meetings Move - Next One February 18

HOA meetings will move from the River of Life Christian Center to a conference room of our new management company, which happens to be right across the street. Here is the address:

Excelsior Community Management Office
6554 Krycul Avenue
Riverview, FL 33578-4330

It's in a small office park complex that looks almost like a storage building.

The meeting day also moves from Tuesdays to the third Wednesday of the month. This makes our next meeting February 18, if I read the calendar correctly. Time remains the same: 7 p.m.

I'll post a reminder as we get closer to the date. You'll also get details on new contact information for our property manager, Jennifer Robertson, who takes over officially February 1.

Meeting Tomorrow Night

So the HOA board, including your humble blog author, had the idea to move the monthly HOA meeting to the third Thursday of the month. And it sneaked up on us rather quickly!

I did post notice at the mailbox kiosk last night, and to the HOA Facebook page, but I will try to give more advance notice. Also, I learned yesterday that our normal meeting venue is not available, so we will meet at the Target store on Bloomingdale Avenue in the dining area at 7 p.m.

For most of our meetings, this gives us plenty of space, but we hope to hear that we will have our normal meeting room for the rest of the year, at least through the annual meeting in October.

The agenda is pretty light. We will discuss the change in management companies. It is official. We move to Excelsior Community Management February 1. The company is based here in Riverview and they promise a more frequent and more engaged presence in our community. We believe this will help us tackle smaller issues faster, and give us more room to take on any big challenges we face.

One of the meeting's agenda items will be to compile a task list of things we need to address. It could be ongoing things that we have dropped the ball one, or new issues people raise. So bring your ideas, your questions, and even your proposed solutions.
