National Night Out -Tues August 3rd 7-9pm
Posted on Jul 14, 2010
What is National Night Out? National Night Out, sponsored by
the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF TOWN WATCH, is a national neighborhood crime and drug prevention event that occurs annually on the first Tuesday in August. It is celebrated in numerous cities, towns and villages in the United States. Over the past 27 years, National Night Out has grown to 37 million people in over 15,000 communities from all 50 states, US territories, Canadian cities, and military bases worldwide. This year will mark the 9th year of National Night Out celebration for the City
of Concord. Twelve of our neighborhoods hosted events in 2009. In addition to increasing awareness of crime, NNO strengthens neighborhood bonds and community-police partnerships, while sending a message to criminals that neighborhoods are taking a stand against crime!
Nature Trail Update
Posted on Jul 14, 2010
Last year, Moss Creek was approached by the City of Concord Parks and Recreation Department about our Nature Trail. The greater hope is to deed the Trail to the P&R Dept so that they may improve the trail and connect it into the Greenway system and eventually have it become a part of the North Carolina Thread Trail system. In January, many dedicated residents went door to door to get the signatures required of our Governing Documents to deed the trail to P&R. With this proof that Moss Creek was willing to deed the trail over, the Park & Rec Leaders put together the grant proposal for this year’s Greenway funds award. Many proposed Greenway projects from across the State were in the running. When the decision was handed down in June, it was announced the Moss Creek Trail project was not chosen as a winner in the first phase of the Grant Awards. The projects that were chosen in June had been in the running for the grant money 2-3 years in a row. This month, Mark Kincaid of Concord P&R is attending a conference where the remainder of the funds for 2010 Greenway Projects will be awarded to vie for the Moss Creek project. If the proposal for the Moss Creek Trail is unsuccessful at this conference, Parks & Rec will gear up to submit our trail for next year’s grant in February.
We have all seen the improvements happening to the section of the trail between the elementary and middle school and along Harris Rd. This section of the trail does not belong to Moss Creek but to the County. Our trail property line runs at the far side of the irrigation retention pond off Marquette Street. Luckily for us, this portion of the trail with the 2 damaged bridges belongs to Cabarrus County, so the liability is theirs. The County received a special grant to restore the wetlands area by the schools.

Concord Police Warn of Mail Fraud
Posted on Mar 18, 2010
Concord Police suggest when paying bills to either pay online or drop your mail at the Post Office or mail drop service directly. There have been a number of instances in Concord and in Moss Creek where residents have had mail stolen from their mailbox, the checks 'washed' and reused or cashed by the thief. Take caution with all outgoing mail.
Be Aware of Census Scam
Posted on Mar 18, 2010
While it is very important to take part in the Census so that appropriate State and Federal monies are divvied to our communities appropriately, be aware that there are individuals and groups who take advantage of this opportunity to obtain personal information from unsuspecting Homeowners.
Watch out for people coming by the house posing as Census workers. They will ask for the census form and then ask to see your driver's license and credit card to verify your "identity". They often also ask for your social security number and your bank information.
They will show you a police looking badge, and threaten you with arrest if you don't provide the info. Some may be wearing a uniform.
If this happens close the door and call the police.
Getting Moss Creek into the Loop!
Posted on Nov 13, 2009
As we reviewed in last month’s newsletter, over the last year, Moss Creek has been in discussion with Concord’s Parks and Recreation Department about our nature trail system and the possibility of conveying it to the city as part of the larger Greenway system. The Concord P&R is ready to submit for the grant money needed as part of the process of obtaining new additions to the Greenway system and upgrading the trail. The Association is very interested in turning the walking trail over to the city to not only limit the Associations liability, but to greatly improve the amenity

~ Irrigation Updates~ |
Remember, it is each Homeowner’s responsibility to make sure their system is in compliance with Community standards. This means making sure your system is running by the timer and not manually (make sure the electric valves in the valve box in your yard are shut off so that the timer in your garage runs your system when set properly), making sure your heads are not broken and wasting water, that you are only running one zone at a time during the hour of scheduled watering and that you are utilizing only 10 gallons of water per minute (600 gallons in the hour of watering time allotted). Irrigation inspections will be performed periodically throughout the season to alert homeowners that are out of compliance.
*********************************************
August 11, 2010- Yesterday afternoon, when the city re-installed a sign post,they caused a main line. The pump station had to shut down to stop the water flow. They are fixing the pipe and we should be operational again Thursday morning.
June 2, 2010- The Controller for Phase 2 was struck by lightning over the weekend and had to be sent off to Tucor to be repaired. Mike expects to have it back by tomorrow or Fri. Even with surge protectors and those sorts of measurements, the controller was still damaged so that it would not reboot.
Luckily for the rain we have had since Friday (over 4 inches over the weekend), the rain sensors also tell the system not to run after ½ inch.
April 16, 2010- A Master valve has broken near the Estates area. Although Mike is working to fix it today, parts of lower Bay Meadows, Tranquility and nearby Moss Plantation may not get irrigation until it is fixed (Monday).
