WHAT'S HAPPENING IN STERLING RANCH |
|
TO MASK OR NOT TO MASK..IT IS NOW YOUR CHOICE |
|
The Douglas County Commissioners released the Free to Choose Resolution on May 12, 2021 regarding the mask mandate for individuals and businesses. Residents of Douglas County are now free to choose whether they would like to wear a mask in public settings both indoors and outdoors. While this is new and uneasy for some, the CAB staff will continue to disinfect high-touch surfaces, tables, chairs, and fitness equipment regularly each day at both the Sterling Center and Overlook Clubhouse.

The CAB staff is seeking your input on utility billing. Currently, CAB sends two bills for utilities – a monthly bill for indoor and outdoor water and sewer and a quarterly bill for fees including: trash, streetlights, stormwater, and driveway maintenance (only for homes that have shared driveways/alleys). In the next few months, CAB will transition the monthly water and sewer billing to a new service company that will provide additional payment options, enhanced online features and services, and online water management and alerts. The new company has the ability to include the quarterly fees on one bill and accept one payment for the combined billing. Here is where we need your feedback.
Please consider taking the attached one-click survey (only 1 question) so that we can administer the monthly and quarterly bills according to the community’s preference. Note: the cost difference between the two options is nominal and there will be no fee increase due to the service provider change. CAB staff is truly requesting your preference as we have analyzed the costs accordingly. The survey will open May 14, 2021 and close May 17, 2021. Thank you in advance for taking the survey which will provide invaluable feedback and direction to CAB staff. Additional information regarding the timing and process for the billing transition will be provided in the next two weeks.

We are so grateful to those that have taken the time to fill out the Park Survey! Over 600 of you have taken the time to share your thoughts and feedback. When the survey closes on May 19th, we will compile all of the results and share them with CAB Committees, the Development Company and the residents at this month's Community Meeting. So stay tuned!
Other Items of Note:
- Water Billing Survey - the above water billing survey is one question and we need your feedback. Please take 10 seconds and let us know what you think!
- New trees and shrubs! Our Landscape vendors are taking inventory of trees and shrubs that need to be replaced in our Common areas and amenities. Replacements will take place in May and June.
- Don't forget, seasonal water flushing of the water system will begin on Monday May 17th. This is maintenance is temporary and will not effect water usage in the community.

PARK PLANNING SURVEY- Closes on May 19th! |
|
Sterling Ranch Community Authority Board is excited to solicit feedback regarding the design and amenities of park spaces within the community. Your feedback will be used to assist the land planner in the design of future park spaces that have not yet been approved. In addition, staff and the Resident Advisory Committee (RAC) will also review and consider the feedback for the RAC’s project of evaluating and making recommendations to the CAB Board for current parks and open space. While we can’t guarantee the immediate implementation of homeowner recommendations, we are elated to have homeowner feedback that can be utilized for future park and open space planning. Thank you in advance for your participation and commitment to Sterling Ranch’s outdoor amenities.
The survey will close on May 19. If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Sue Santos, Director of Community Experience and Resident Support at sue.santos@sterlingranchcab.com.
