Our by-laws allow 5-9 Board members, elected for three-year terms. The empty table represents the 2021 Balcones Village/Spicewood Homeowners Association Board. This year we have 5 "elected" members. Two of the five volunteered to stay on the Board another year as there were no candidates at the November 2018 Annual Meeting. They and one other member will leave this year. The other two of the five have terms expiring in 2020. The by-laws also appoint the ACC Chair and the Past President to the Board. 
And then we're done as there may be no Board in 2021. Done means no more 4th of July Parade. Done means no more discounted and delivered trees. And no more lighting contest. No more Constables helping with traffic concerns. Done means no more help should there be an oak wilt outbreak. No more free advertising the semi-annual garage sale. Done means no more Yahoo sharing or Google announcements.

Have you ever thought about what and who it takes to make this neighborhood your neighborhood. It's more than great schools, mature trees, location, and well built homes. It's people. People willing to participate. Nothing lasts forever ... without effort.

Please think about how you can participate in your neighborhood. One time with the 4th of July parade or the December tree delivery. Run for the Board in November. Come to the Board meetings on the third Wednesday of each month at the Balcones Country Club (7:30PM.)
Sue Schupbach, Past President

Constable Patrols

In response to the 2016 Neighborhood Traffic Study, the HOA is funding a program with the Travis County Constables to include:
  • Random patrols in the Balcones Village/Spicewood area
  • Focus on speeding and stopping for school buses
 
The HOA Board receives monthly reports regarding:
  • Number of tickets written
  • Reason for tickets (speeding or other traffic violations)
  • Streets where tickets written
  • BV/S residents or from outside neighborhood (no names)
 
Remember the speed limit on Balcones Club, Spicewood Parkway and Pickfair Drive is 30 mph.
Other residential streets have a 25 mph speed limit.
Remind the drivers in your family.
