| Reconvened Annual Meeting |
Posted on Dec 11th, 2013
The annual meeting of the Moss Creek Village Owners Association Inc. was held on November 20, 2013. The Association did not meet the quorum requirements to conduct any official business. Therefore, the meeting will be reconvened on January 15, 2014 at 7:00 pm at the Moss Creek Clubhouse located at 9505 Moss Plantation Ave, Concord, NC 28027
The purpose of this meeting will remain to elect two Board Members to serve for staggered terms to the Association’s Board of Directors. At this time four (4) individuals have stepped forward to serve on your HOA Board. You may visit www.mosscreekvillagenc.com and click on Board Members from the left navigation bar to view a brief statement of intent. The candidates for the Board are listed at the bottom of the page. Proxies may still be accepted to vote for these candidates through January 15, 2014; 3pm. Please select TWO (2) candidates when voting.
State Statute 47F allows for the quorum requirements to be reduced to half of the original amount, therefore, 5% of the membership equaling 62 votes either in person or by proxy is needed for any business to be conducted at this meeting. In an effort to expedite the election, the Board will be voting via a directed proxy.
Although your input is always welcome, the sole intent of this meeting will be to make the Board of Directors official. Votes will be cast, counted and announced. Your attendance is welcomed at the meeting though general discussion may be brief. A proxy is available for download under the Board Members section or click here |

| November Elections for Two Master Association Board Positions |
Posted on Oct 23rd, 2013
The Master Board of Directors has 2 seats that are open for (re-)election. Eligible candidates are Homeowners with an interest in serving this community.
Here are some things to consider as you contemplate who might make a good Board member:
*Community association boards consist of officials elected to represent and protect the best interests of their constituents.
*Community associations are corporate entities whose board members must maintain the value of a jointly owned asset.
*Community associations are social entities—neighborhoods of people who expect the board to preserve, if not improve, their quality of community.
Ultimately, the role of the Board is to protect and increase property values. This is accomplished by operating the association, maintaining the common property, and enforcing the governing documents.
Those interested in submitting for candidacy may contact Ben Rhodes at (888) 600-5044 ext 7729, ben@kuester.com. Please note that to be eligible to run for a position on the Board of Directors your assessment account must be current and you must be an owner of record of the HOA. The Board currently meets monthly in person and occasionally on special topics intermittently.
The two incumbents whose seats are up for re-election (Carolann Stillie and Bryant Kearns) will also run for re-election. The terms are 3 years each.
Voting will take place at the November meeting in person or by proxy. The proxies will be mailed along with the 2014 budget announcement/Annual Meeting notice by November 7th. The Annual/Budget Ratification meeting will be held at 7pm on Wednesday November 20th at the Clubhouse.
To submit your interest in candidacy, please send your letter of intent and resume to Ben@kuester.com BY NOVEMBER 5th, 2013 for inclusion in the Annual Meeting notice and proxy paperwork.

| Nature Trail/ Greenway Status |
Posted on Oct 4th, 2013
Many are aware that the Community transferred the Nature Trail to the City of Concord Parks & Rec Dept.to add it to the City's Greenway system. Construction on the trail is beginning. They will start working at the south end and move north. They expect to complete the upgrades by early spring. The construction crews have asked that residents do not use the trail during construction for safety sake. You may see 'No Trespassing' signs- please obey them. They plan to pave a majority of the trail and boardwalk parts. They will be installing an observation deck, benches, a picnic shelter, a rain garden... The proposed design map is attached here in 2 parts: North & South. Additional map1 & map2 |

~ Irrigation Updates~ |
Irrigation is far and away the most frequent concern our residents voice to the management company. Moss Creek's is an extremely complex irrigation system, and when a part of it malfunctions it is critical that Kuester is informed quickly.
Remember, the HOA is only responsible for getting water to your curb. Anything beyond the curb, including timers, sprinkler heads, etc. is the responsibility of the homeowner (excluding Townhome Owners). The Irrigation Manager’s focus is on the maintenance of the common areas and making sure the system is running properly during the scheduled times and the common grounds are being watered appropriately.
Proper timer programming is crucial to the functionality of the system and it is your responsibility to make sure your timers are set correctly. The clock/timer that you have in your garage is intended to facilitate the opening of your irrigation system on your Lot to the sub main during the specified hour that the timer is set for. This time should coincide with the time that the irrigation zone you live in runs. First, make sure your timer is set properly and it still has its programming. If you are unsure about how to program your timer, check the owner's manual or consult with an independent landscaper. Many timer instruction manuals are available online.
Then, find your valve box in your yard that houses the electric valves that man your individual zones on your Lot. There will be one valve per zone in your yard. Make sure that these electric valves are all turned off. You may have your clock set, but with these valves turned in the ON position, the clock is being bypassed and not operating according to its purpose. To turn your system from manual setting to clock function, you must turn off the irrigation valves in the valve box in your yard. If the valves will not turn any further to the right, they may need to be unscrewed and rinsed out. Dirt and mulch can get inside the workings and cause them to stick open (thus allowing your system to come on anytime during the day the HOA pressurizes the sub mains at the street). Being that Moss Creek’s irrigation system uses ‘dirty’ water or unfiltered well water instead of city water, there is regular system maintenance that is required to keep your system working properly- cleaning your filter and valves. You should do this at least once or twice a season. In addition, you must make sure that your system only operates one zone in your yard at a time during the hour of scheduled irrigation. The main system is designed to provide a total of 600 gallons of water to each lawn, spread over a one-hour time frame For example, if your irrigation system has 4 zones, you will need to set your clock to run each separately -for say 15 minutes each. A good tip is to water side yard zones for less time and rotor zones longer and not to waste too much of your hour on any drip zones. Broken heads are also a cause of much water waste. Please make sure that all of your heads are in working order. A broken head can waste as many as 25 gallons per minute!
Over-watering your lawn is not only wasteful, but it can lead to diseased turf and growth of fungi. The system is equipped with turf-saturation sensors or rain sensors which will prevent the irrigation from being activated if the ground is saturated to a certain point. A ½ an inch of rain or more activates the system’s rain sensors. Do not over-compensate for a missed irrigation cycle by running multiple zones at once. This abuse of the system could cause you to lose your watering privileges or pay a fine.
To test or work on your system during daytime hours, fill out the Irrigation Activation Request form on this community website under the Irrigation tab. Note: Irrigation inspections will be done each season. Every Homeowner must have their system running according to the Moss Creek Please see Irrigation Resolution under the Irrigation tab. Irrigation Map and run times are also linked under the Irrigation tab on this homepage.
***************************
The irrigation system will restart on Monday April 14th
4/14/2014- the irrigation start up has been pushed to Wed morning (4/16) earlierst (depending on how much saturation we have from impending rain tonight and Tuesday) due to unexpected failure on phs1 main controller.
