New Fountain to be installed April 15

The new fountain is anticipated to be in place by April 15. To check out what it will look like, click this link: http://www.aquamasterfountains.com/MASTERS/M-CrystalGeyser-IF-Main.html and to see a video click here: http://www.aquamasterfountains.com/MASTERS/M-CrystalGeyser-Video.html. We expect the new fountain to save us as much as $300 per month or $1,500 per year in electrical costs due to better technology.

Please keep cars off the sidewalks during snowblowing season

Just a friendly reminder that the sidewalks are being cleared by the association (and are used by the neighborhood kids for walking to the bus), so please don’t park your cars in front of the sidewalks. Thanks!

New website design

CLPN.net has been redesigned by BizzyWeb to be more user-friendly and helpful. You can preview four categories — Association Info, Events, Pond Updates and Association News — and you can also submit news or requests, report a code violation, or just check out neighborhood resources and links.

We’re continually improving our site and our association, so let us know if you have any comments or questions!

The association is starting to plan a “Kids Safety Day” in the development for sometime in May or June.  We are planning on talking to the Fire & Police departments to get their help and support.  We have already had a commitment from TrailHead bicycle shop to be available to tune up childrens bikes on site.  If anyone would like to help in the organization of this event please contact Paul Harris at 763-464-1927.

We will keep you posted and have a prosperous 2008!

Thank You

I would like to send out a BIG THANK YOU to all of you who are keeping your sidewalks clear of snow.  It makes our nightly walk safer and easy to navigate.  Rose and I greatly appreciate it.

Happy Holidays to Everyone,

Pond Update 10/15/07

I would like to schedule an informational meeting to discuss the findings from our meeting with the group we met with last month.  I was thinking we could either rent out a room at the ice arena or, if it’s a smaller group, we could do it right at my house.  I was thinking about scheduling something for Wednesday night 10/24/07.  Please e-mail me by Friday, 10/19/07 at andy@prasky.com if you are interested.  It is actually very interesting stuff!!!  This meeting will have “quality” refreshments.

Notice:Pond Meeting

Your invited to join the “pond committee” Friday Sept.28th @ 8:30 a.m.at the corner of Cartway Road and Pebble Road by the pond there will be a site meeting. Followed by a 9:00 a.m. meeting at city hall. Sorry, This was the only time we could get the whole group together.

There will be representatives from the City of Champlin, Hennepin County, Road and De-watering Construction Companies, and WSB Engineering.

If you can’t make it please forward to me your thoughts and or concerns so I can have them addressed at the meeting.

Please call Me Andy @ 763-433-0202 or email andy@prasky.com if you can make it. I would like to have a few more “ears” at the meeting. Thanks, that’s all for now…

Thanks for the great meeting last night!

We had a successful meeting last night at the Ice Forum — welcome to the new readers of the site. Please go ahead and post comments to this post if you have any ideas or take-aways from last night’s meeting. Remember, if you signed up to be a “proxy captain” you’ll be getting proxy forms soon from the Directors of the board.

Also, welcome to our newest director, Pete Rojas! We’ll be official after the proxies are in, but the group of neighbors in attendance voted unanimously to approve Pete in his role, so he’s a shoe-in.

Look forward to your comments and suggestions, and keep watching the site for news & updates!
