Thank you for your quick reply. I will get on the email list for the meetings. I am in Heritage and I do not believe we have an HOA. I am unsure about what that means about our participating in one. But, I will find out now that I have a direction.

Thanks
Lisa

Ms. Padilla, you are correct that the information on the blog is a bit outdated. The PID maintains this blog and an additional website http://www.highpointeinfo.org. That site is more up to date. I will do a better job of keeping this blog current.
The pillar was moved mainly for safety reasons. School children were walking into the street since the pillar was so large and there was no connected sidewalk. The HPPID will erect an new monument, further east on Strauss @ Overland.
The HPPID meets on the second Thursday of most months. We will mail our new meeting schedule for the remainder of 2008 into 2009, in the next few weeks. Also, please send an email to our mailing list hppidinfo@aol.com. We send emails reminders for the PID’s meeting, as well as other community meetings.
What subdivision do you live in? Your subdivision may or may not have an active HOA.

Michael Quildon
President, High Pointe PID

I have to say I agree with Christina’s comment. Dawson has been to my house. I have not signed anything because I would like to have more information. I think a public meeting would be great, and two side represented would be even better.
I am not sure what all the fuss is about overreactive neighbors. I have been in my house since March and I have yet to even receive a notice about a HOA meeting. An active HOA is one of the reasons I wanted to move here and no one seems to know abything about any meetings over here. And this website is very outdated, I thought I could find dates for meetings on it…..but I have had no luck so far.
I do have a question, there was a brick pillar with “HP” on it that was on Straus Rd. between Sugar Mill and Wolf, why was it torn down? I thought it added a view.

The Dawson Geophysical Company is currently sending out letters to residents, asking for a permit to conduct geophysical operations. To my understanding, the background is surveying for natural gas in this area. I did some research and have my own thoughts about it, but wouldn’t it be good having a meeting for the public, explaining the background and later on the consequences for residents if gas should be found and drilling may be considered?
I attended a Dawson presentation earlier and the information was not very helpful (YES! Many of us attended sales trainings:), so having this company (only) persent may not be the best idea. Here in the metroplex, there must be more experts or people who have “been there and done that”.
Before residents are going to sign the agreements (which, btw hold the company harmless from any damage to the property for a payment of $25) it would be great if we could get some more information and the “whole picture”. A public meeting would be perfect!

Thank you, PUBILIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, for putting out flags in the medians and main entrances to High Pointe!
They look so nice and I appreciate seeing them on this 4th of July!

I really think most of you are a bunch of busy-bodies. I have recently purchesed my first house in your “proud community” and have found nothing but a harper valley PTA. Tell me how tattling on putting brush out for pick up too early is an effective way of making your neighborhood look better. Instead of me having the motivation to make my house look better I now could care less. I would love to make your property value go down, while following code of course. Perhaps I will put an 8 foot cement gorilla, or something equally gaudy, in my front yard. Maybe next time you should think before you go crying to your code enforment. And as far as beer and wine in the city, you are retarded to think that not having it is going to stop drunk drivers. Duncanville is basically a spit away, and remember that prohibition has been repealed you old time farts. Thank you and good day.

Anyone know what all the “Kiosk Sign #xx” temp signs I am seeing will be for?

I’d like to know what happened to the water fall in Bradford Park and also what happened to the vinyl fence that’s down across from the park.

Dan,

you may want to call the City’s code enforcement department. Also, you might call the Animal Patrol Officer as far as the dog is concerned. If it where me, I’d take a pictures of everything and have the city address the codes, as well as animal problems

We have lived in the Pinnacle for 8 years and one of our old neighbors, with one of the most beautiful yards on our street, moved about a year ago. The new neighbors keep their dog chained to the tree - IN THE FRONT YARD! The dog, along with his blanky, has worn the grass straight to dirt! In addition to this, garbage is kept visibly in the driveway of their two car front entry, rather than hidden on the side or in the garage - or even in the back yard for pete’s sake! We hate this! This clearly brings the neighborhood down, down, down! Can we send a citation warning or something?
