Message to Property Owners
UPDATE: MAY 5, 2024
Not much in the way of news on the financial front. We have been active in performing some emergency repairs, but funding limits have pretty much eliminated any preventative maintenance work. We are pulling together a summary on recent activity and will publish that and a financial update shortly.

UPDATE: NOVEMBER 28, 2023
Unfortunately, we did not meet our goal on the initial petition drive, but a lot has been going over the summer. Click here Letter to Property Owners (hiddenmeadowsprd.com) or on the tab above "LETTER TO PROPERTY OWNERS" for a complete update.

UPDATE: JULY 1, 2023
Thank you to the over 100 PRD members who have submitted their signed petition supporting the modest increase in the annual road maintenance assessment. We are more than halfway to the goal we had hoped to meet by early May in order to impact this year's tax rolls. While we didn't make that date, we are still seeing signed petitions coming in and the County has indefinitely extended the submission deadline, so we are continuing the initiative.
If you haven't already sent in your petition, please consider doing that now. If you have already sent in your petition, please talk to your neighbors and ask them to do the same.
If you or anyone you know has any questions at all about the PRD process or the assessment, please submit questions to HiddenMeadowsPRD@yahoo.com.
If anyone needs a petition form, please send your request to HiddenMeadowsPRD@yahoo.com .

ORIGINAL POSTING: APRIL 19, 2023
By now you should have received a letter in the mail requesting your signature on a petition to increase your assessment for road maintenance. While it might seem an unusual request to have you ask to voluntarily pay more for something, the reality is at the current rates we are losing the battle to maintain our roads.
We are at a point where what funds we have are being consumed by needed repairs leaving nothing for preventative maintenance. With no preventative maintenance, repairs are needed more often and are generally more complex, and of course consume even more of our limited funds. We have struggled for years to squeeze the most out of our limited dollars but the fact that we are in a downward spiral is now quite evident.
