Happy Cinco de Mayo!
As summer approaches, our to-do list continues to grow as we identify more areas we would like to improve. But before we get into that, I would like to welcome Matt McKeown, his wife Tiffany, and their young son to the neighborhood. Matt grew up in WLV and his parents still reside here, so it’s like a homecoming of sorts. Matt has volunteered to be on the Board of Directors and Tiffany will be helping out on the Architectural Committee, which still has a need for more volunteers. Thank you, Matt & Tiffany, for volunteering!
Back to our list…we just finalized our 2008/2009 insurance policy with Carlisle Fields in Clearwater. We were able to continue our exact coverage at a premium of $13,600 – which was $1600 less than last year’s premium! A copy of our policy is in the office.
Our Director of Maintenance, Jim Brasby, has been busy finishing up various projects. The tennis hut, benches, garbage cans, wooden pool deck, and installing signs have kept him very busy lately. He also tiled the pool deck countertop and repainted the cabinetry. He is planning on re-surfacing our 2 parking lots, adding handicapped parking spots, and repainting the lines in the near future…
If you haven’t gotten us your 2008 Annual Dues payment, please do so as soon as possible. The Board of Directors budgets according to expected dues income and we have a higher-than-average number of delinquent accounts.
Have a terrific May!

HO on Rolling Hills Drive called to let the BOD know that there has been auto break ins. Her husband's vehicle was one of them and they did call the PCSO to file a report.
Friday, 4/4/08 4 PM:
A homeowner, in Westlake Village, told us that three teen age boys tried to break into one of her windows. They tore open the screen and tried to push the window open. Her daughter was home at the time and was able to get a description of the three boys. This homeowner called the Sheriff's Department, they came to her home and a formal report was filed.
Saturday, 4/5/08 @ 2 AM:
Last night a strange man walked into a home at a home on Village Way. He was drunk and not in his right mind. He walked in the front door which was unlocked and made it all the way to the pool patio before he was escorted out by the homeowner's 21 year old son who deposited him on the front lawn after "restraining" him. A deputy arrested him when he was found hiding in some bushes a few houses down. A helicopter was used to locate him. This was around 2AM Saturday morning.

Where did March go????
The Association, on behalf of our residents, would like to thank Colleen Bemis and her troop of helpers for spearheading a neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt at the Clubhouse and playground a few weeks ago. Although Saturday got rained out, Sunday was a huge success! We hope to repeat this great event (and others) in the future. If you are interested in organizing future events like the Egg Hunt, please contact Rosemary at 784-3054. We do allocate funds in our budget for these types of happenings, as they are integral to keeping Westlake Village the neighbor-friendly place we love to live in!
We are receiving reports of overnight auto break-ins on the east side of Westlake Village. The Sheriff’s Office is increasing patrols of our neighborhood with an emphasis in that area. Please call the PCSO if you see or hear anything suspicious. It is NOT advisable to confront suspicious individuals. If the PCSO doesn’t know about it, they can’t help us! The Board also voted at the March meeting to begin additional off-duty PCSO patrols throughout the neighborhood. You may not see them – without giving too much info away, they have been VERY successful keeping a low profile while conducting surveillance in Westlake Village. We do receive monthly reports from the PCSO, which are always available in the office.
Here are some of the items that the Board will be addressing in the near future:
Playground Equipment Audit – WLV contracted with SafetyPlay, Inc in St. Petersburg to conduct a safety audit of our playground equipment. The safety of all is paramount and WLV is committed to keeping our equipment safe and enjoyable – the report should be submitted soon and the results will be publicized shortly.
Westlake Blvd South Entrance – We are coordinating with our Lawn Care Tech, Andy Franek, to get costs for replacing sod in various locations at the south end of the Blvd. An estimate is forthcoming and this will be discussed at the April Board meeting.
Citrus Grove – After consulting with Andy Franek & Bryan Snell of Snell Groves in Pasco County, it was the recommendation to the Board that a drip line irrigation be re-installed in the grove to combat the loss of trees. The Board approved the expenditure at the March meeting and installation is being coordinated.
Our Maintenance Director, Jim Brasby, has been very busy with various projects in our neighborhood – sealing the park path, pressurewashing the wooden deck in the pool area, sealing the Pumphouse roof, installing motion-sensing lights in the pool baths, and much more.
AS ALWAYS, WE WELCOME YOUR VOLUNTEERISM – PLEASE CALL US TO HELP OUT!
