I-35 Project Input Needed!

Scofield Ridge is joining with the City of Austin Transportation and Public Works Department to get community feedback on the new “Our Future 35” project. They City is looking for community engagement and input.
Join us on Saturday July 27th at 12pm at the pool on 13219 Winwick Way to learn about the project and fill out the survey. We will have ice cream and swag!

What is Our Future 35? Our Future 35 is a project that aims to co-create public spaces over I-35. This is because the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is lowering I-35 throughout the Central Austin corridor, allowing for the City of Austin to cap over the highway with public spaces (also known as caps and stiches) that connect East and West Austin. To learn more about the project history and future, please visit Our Future 35.

New Management – July 1st

Real Manage will be taking over management of our community starting July 1st. Many of you have already received a letter in the mail. If you haven’t received it yet then you should have it very soon. This letter has your account number with Real Manage and it can be used to log into your new homeowner portal. We encourage everyone to select yes for electronic notifications during the account registration process.

Data is still being transferred to the new portal but feel free to log in and take a look around. All homeowner ledgers will carry over. No matter if you have a credit or a past due amount, those will all carry-over.

Everyone will need to setup new recurring auto-payments, either though the Real Manage portal or through your bank. If you mail a check, there is a new address to send the payment to and you will need to reference your new account number on your check. Assessments are still due by the 5th of every month and will be considered late after the 15th. We will refrain from charging late fees for July so everyone has a chance to update their payments.

If you haven’t received your letter with your new account number, you can call Real Manage and they can look up your account so you can complete the registration process.

Thanks,

Community Update

Neighbors,

A community update has been a long time coming. A lot has changed in the last few years. COVID, snowpocalypse, ice storm, dry summers, etc. The HOA has been lenient of enforcement during these times with an understanding of each situation at hand. However, these hot dry summers are not rare for Austin. We are aware of the recent move to Stage 2 water restrictions, but watering is still allowed morning and night one day a week as it has been for years. As the trees in our neighborhood have matured, more yards are now shaded and not getting as much sun. We can no longer focus on just getting through this summer expecting next summer will be different. This is what we should expect every summer and we all need to make accommodations for our weather reality.

As the Board is taking steps to revitalize our neighborhood common areas, we also ask for homeowner effort to restore the beauty of our neighborhood including yards, trees and bushes. If you have received a violation for your yard, do not ignore it. Please understand we are asking for an open communication with your remediation plan, even if the plan may be implemented in a few months. If you plan to change your landscaping you must submit an ACC Application prior to making the change. The ACC welcomes xeriscape plans and water-conscious designs. Xeriscape guidelines are outlined in the ACC application.

Board Update: At the annual meeting in May, Amanda Young was elected to the board of directors, joining Peter Carbone and Saul Cruz. Amanda was a previous board member from years ago and we welcome back her knowledge and experience. Unfortunately, Saul recently moved out of our neighborhood. After meeting with several interested homeowners, the Board appointed Kellen Segura to fill the remainder of Saul’s term. Kellen has lived in the neighborhood for 7 years and is excited to contribute in making this a great community to live in.

Management Update: We have switched over to a new manager at Pioneer Beck. Amanda Davis will take over management of our community. She has managed HOA properties for over 10 years and we are excited to have her expertise. You may reach her at amanda@pioneerbeck.com or management@scofieldridge.org.

Committee Update: We have added 3 new members to the ACC committee and also have new volunteers for the social committee.

With events now being planned for the near future, and community landscape improvements already being done, we have a lot of exciting things to look forward to. Keep an eye out for those upcoming event announcements.

Sincerely,

Board of Directors

Board Update

It is with much sadness that we report Chrissy Rasche is stepping down as the Ridge at Scofield Farms HOA Board President in July. Chrissy made a tremendous contribution to the community as a Board President, a board member and a resident of our community. Her departure from the community and the Board will have a definite impact.

During Chrissy’s tenure, the HOA made several infrastructure improvements, including the playground and pool areas. She was the primary administrator of the day to day operations ensuring the HOA affairs ran smoothly. Chrissy worked tirelessly for our community by bearing the brunt of the work that the Board did while keeping a sharp eye on expense reductions. The community was lucky to have her as a member and Board President. We will miss her deeply.

As a reminder, the Board is comprised of all volunteers. With this vacancy on the board, the Board would like to announce new Board members appointed by the Board to fill these vacancies. They will serve until the Annual Meeting and will be on the ballot for election. By enhancing the number of Board members, we feel we are making the Board stronger and gaining perspectives from a wider age group making us a more diverse Board.

We would like for you to meet Peter Carbone, Frank Irwin, and Gil Glastetter, our new members.

Any questions should be directed to: board@scofieldridge.org

 Be well,

Your HOA Board
