The Sweetgrass Breeze

Happy Friday, Sweetgrass!

Elections are underway here in Sweetgrass. As just a reminder, you'll need to complete your ballot by August 17. If you have chosen to mail your ballot, please allow enough time for it to be received by that date.

Didn't Get a Ballot?

Ballots were sent out both electronically and through the US Postal Service. If you did not receive the email from "The Inspectors of Elections," be on the lookout for your mail ballot. Both contain the same set of instructions, as well as your individual username and password to log in to vote.

Of course, we're at the mercy of the US Postal Service, so please be patient. If you do not receive your mailed ballot by next week, please reach out to "The Inspectors of Elections" and they will coordinate sending you a replacement. Their information is 888-211-5332. To maintain the election integrity, Sweetgrass team members DO NOT have access to your ballot, nor do they have access to your individual username and password. You will want to contact TIE directly.

Keep in mind you will be voting at tieivote.com, NOT the MySweetgrass website.

Special Meeting of the Board of Directors

With our election wrapping up in mid-August, a Special Meeting of the Board of Directors will be held on August 18 at 4 PM. The official notice is within your ballot information, and further information will be sent out in the coming weeks.

Election Information - Website

We have provided several ways to find election information, from candidate interviews to a replay of the "Meet the Candidates" forum held earlier this month. You can find all the election information right here.

Association Office

The Lakehouse is not only your beautiful centerpiece of the community, but it's also the administrative office for the DW Sweetgrass HOA. If you ever need to speak to a member of the team, whether it's information regarding lifestyle programs or an ARC application, don't be a stranger! Stop by and our Resident Concierge team will be more than happy to assist you. We have missed seeing many of your faces this past year, and we look forward to welcoming you back in with all the amazing programs, classes, and more offered in your community.

Have a great weekend, Sweetgrass!

Trash Bin Update

Your new GFL poly carts will be delivered starting on Wednesday, July 28th. You will receive one (1) 65-gallon cart for garbage and one (1) 65-gallon cart for recycling. Republic Services will be removing their carts and bins on Friday, July 30th, and Saturday, July 31st. If your Republic Services cart and the bin are not removed on Friday, please leave them out for removal on Saturday.

Once you receive your GFL provided carts and you would like to exchange your recycle cart for a smaller 35-gallon cart, please call GFL at (282) 368-8397 or email at wcacshouston@gflenv.com and provide us with your name and address. We will provide more information soon as to when the smaller 35 gallons recycle carts will be delivered and exchanged.

The Association will pause the enforcement of trash cans/recycle bins in the community until the delivery and pickup of cans are complete.

* Please note the Association does not administer the garbage collection, and you’ll want to contact GFL directly with any questions, comments, or concerns. This is contracted by the MUD and not the DW Sweetgrass Association.
