Silver Spur Rancher’s Association 

Dear Silver Spur Rancher’s Association Homeowners, 

 

Please be advised Silver Spur Rancher’s Association is in the process of restating the CC&R’s. Our HOA attorney is working to clean up the collection policy to match reporting information with a calendar year end. Everything will have the same information and will be set as a calendar year end. 

Until the new CC&R’s have been restated by the HOA attorney, voted on by the Members, and recorded with the County of Riverside, the Association will continue to operate with the assessments being due in November.  We expect this process will take until the end of the year to be completed. 

 

The due date for the 2024 annual assessment will be November 15th. If you need to contact Management to update your mailing address or email address, please contact

 

Sandra Garland at Sgarland@drminternet.com or call customer service at (760) 346-1161 You may mail your payment to the following address:

Dear Silver Spur Ranchers Association, 

 

Please be advised the streets will be cleaned tomorrow morning, Saturday September 16, 2023 at 5:30 A.M. Please have your vehicles removed from the street during that time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. The Board was given last minute notice.  

 

Thank you,

Emergency After Hours Call Service

The emergency after hours call service is overwhelmed, and is not able to accept any further calls. 

 

We are experiencing a severe tropical storm and no vendors are dispatching. It is not safe. There is widespread flooding throughout the valley and many streets are closed. This emergency is not effecting only you or your specific neighborhood.

 

If you are experiencing a roof leak do your best to contain the water. There is nothing which can be done today. E-mail your manager to be sure your address is on the list. Safe to say most every home in the valley is experiencing some sort of water intrusion problem. Your manager will get your address on the list.

 

If you are experiencing flooding in the street or common area or some other maintenance issue, please email your manager.

 

If you feel your life is in danger, or are experiencing a life threatening emergency, call 911.

 

It will take some weeks, or perhaps months, for repairs to be made following this storm. We ask in advance for your patience and understanding.

 

Again, please do not call the after hours service. We are experiencing a natural disaster. Today, you must help yourself. Take care and be safe and do all you can. 

 

Thank you.

To follow-up on Thursday’s message regarding the potential for severe weather due to Tropical Storm Hilary this weekend, I would like to provide you with some reminders and resources that you may need.
 
Remove furniture and decor items from your patios and balconies. It’s been suggested that we can expect winds in excess of 80 mph which will move chairs and tables. Please secure all loose items to avoid causing damage to your home or someone else’s home.
 
If you experience a power outage, first check the SCE or IID website. If your outage is widespread chances are a powerline is down somewhere. If not, check your breakers, get with other neighbors to see if they are also without electricity to determine what may be a root cause. If others are not experiencing an outage, contact your personal electrician.
 
If you see a downed tree, please avoid the area and report it to our after-hours emergency line at 760-346-1161. Depending on the current weather conditions and calls that may have already been made, landscape crews may not be able to make it out immediately. If the storm is as severe as noted on the news, it may take crews several days to get to everyone’s emergencies. Please stay clear of any downed trees for your safety. We will ask landscapers to block off these areas if they’re able.
Flooding can happen here in the desert in a blink of an eye. If you do not need to be out in the downpour stay put. Remember it’s not just overflow from our drains, but runoff from the mountains that can hit in a hurry.
 
If you experience flooding in your home, contact a water mitigation specialist immediately, not the HOA.
 
Please see the attached emergency protocol sheet. Do not leave an email or request on TownSq unless it’s for an issue that can be resolved at a later date.
 
When calling our after-hours service line at 760-346-1161, be sure to provide the address where the problem is located and be specific about what the problem is and the damage it is causing. Our service providers will be responding to emergency calls on a priority basis so we want to be sure we have all the important information for them to make that determination.
 
Landscaping is checking to ensure all debris is moved away from drains and will be shutting off the irrigation over the weekend as to not waste water.
 
If you are leasing your unit, please make sure your tenants are aware of these protocols and ask them to take precautions.
 
We are trying to help you prepare for a worst-case scenario because it isn’t often that weather of this intensity is predicted in the desert. We would rather you be safe, than sorry. Any type of storm will bring the potential of messy landscape, dirty pools, and a number of other things that can take time to clean up and get the community back to looking the way it normally does. Our service providers have multiple communities to care for and they will work to get everything done as quickly as possible. Please have patience during this process and stay safe.
 

 

Warmest regards,

 

Sandra Garland,CCAM®

Dear Homeowners,

Out of an abundance of caution, we are alerting valley association residents that there is the possibility of an extreme weather event commencing Saturday and extending into next week - currently forecast to bring 5-10 inches of rain into the lower desert. We have alerted the onsite Landscape team of this possibility so that, if appropriate, the irrigation can be turned off and that their team is alerted to the possibility of landscape issues.

 

Again, this message is cautionary at this time - the incoming weather may be more benign than currently forecast - however it is a good idea to be prepared in any event. Please keep an eye on this situation and secure your property. 

Thank you and we wish you a great desert summer and weekend ahead! 

 

Warmest regards,

Sandra Garland, CCAM
