General

1. Work normally starts an hour or so before the snowfall SHOULD stop (based upon a weather service)
2. General order (but not set in stone as workers adjust as they go due to manpower and skillset…)
   1. Large streets, medium streets, cul-de-sacs (similar to Village of Bolingbrook and most cities)
   2. Bella Vista sidewalks, Townhouse sidewalks
   3. Driveway edges, Driveway proper (edges get done first, then another team does the rest later)
   4. Salting
3. Equipment used: Large plowing machine, pickup truck with plow, small plowing machine, snow blowers, snow shovels, blower
4. Timeframe: there is much to do, it takes time (hours and hours and hours). Please be patient.
5. It may not be perfect at the end… but few things are. The HOA will and does complain about LARGE issues. Please let us know about the LARGE issues.

The first quarter 2022 Bella Vista HOA Residents meeting will be held on Wednesday January 26 2022 at 7:00 at the Clubhouse. 
If you have any questions, concerns or topics of interest, please email them to the HOA Board BEFORE the meeting so the HOA Board has time to review and discuss. 
As always, there will be a formal presentation, a quiz (which may be more difficult this quarter) and Q&A.  
Masks ARE required unless the pandemic abruptly ends in the next 20 days. If you feel you are at risk, unsafe, or sick, please DO NOT attend.

Clubhouse street light – At long last, ComEd came out and fixed the Clubhouse street light. On July 14th 2021, Its brilliant light lit up Bella Vista Blvd for the first time in the modern era. Many thanks go out to Don for his many phone calls and hard fought battles to resolve this nagging issue.

Downed street light – Pole was knocked down by a Budget Rental Truck hit-and-run on June 30. Clubhouse Video confirmed the hit-and-run. Police report submitted. Insurance company called. Electrician/street-light-guy called and analyzed. The street light repair will take time to analyze, order and replace as we are still in a pandemic and shipping is slow and backed up.

As of 9/21/2021 the street light pole has arrived at the local distribution hub. Expected availability for the installer is 11/04/2021. The work to assemble, deliver and erect may be completed in 3-4 weeks. Stay patient.

As of 12/08/2021 the street light has been delivered and installed. However, there is still a problem with the brackets for the street sign (the brackets broke). They have been ordered. No delivery date has been given. Stay very, very patient.

As of 12/15/2021, the brackets have arrived after a pandemic delay. The electrician is now going to schedule a truck out to Bella Vista to finish the job. Hopefully this is completed in time for Christmas. Thanks for being very, very patient in this difficult time.

As of 12/20/2021, the signs have been put up on the pole and this saga is over!!

The HOA is taking steps to move the Solara Mailbox from Bella Vista Blvd to Solara Court. There is not an exact timeline yet, but we are busy getting quotes and will move quickly as winter is coming. We hope to get it done before winter, but this may have to wait until spring.

Update: The weather is getting too cold, this project will need to wait until spring.
