HOA @ Work

This page houses projects on which the board and others are working

Updated January 2025

Shadow Trails Winterization: Please be advised that the fountain will be turned off when cold weather is forecast. A big thank you to Bob Gresh and board member Jason Logan for winterizing the neighborhood sprinkler system. Our pool maintenance company has winterized the pool area, specifically the bathrooms. A pool cover was not purchased for the off-season, and the pool maintenance company will continue to service the pool without a cover as they have since 2019.
Entries off 121st Street: We hope you enjoyed the Christmas lights this year. We replaced the C7 LED lights on top of the brick walls with C9 LED lights that are much brighter and give off a similar light to the Warm White C9 LED lights on the ground. We may use the C7 LED lights at the pool next year. However, before they can be used, we need to remove all the adhesive that was used to attach them to the top of the brick walls.
Phase II Handover: Negotiations have been initiated with the Dodson Building Group (Phase II developer) to either take over the maintenance of the ponds in Phase II or take over the entire neighborhood ahead of the current turnover date, which would fall in 2026. The hope was the accomplish this by January 1, 2025, but unfortunately, that didn’t happen. Stay tuned for further developments.

Pond: The sod and dirt work at the pond is on hold until at least Fall when temperatures are more favorable in allowing the grass to get established.

Pool: We need help opening and closing the pool all season. Please email shadowtrailshoa@gmail.com if you can help.
Pond Fountain: Our electrician has looked over the fountain controls. While the fountain is running, there appears to be an issue with the lighting or wiring for the lighting, which may be the problem with the phantom breaker tripping. Further investigation is underway.

Pond Fountain: We still have an electrical issue after repairing the fountain motor. An electrician will be re-evaluating everything soon.
Reserve A: The drainage culvert at the west entrance was cleaned up on April 15 to allow for better water flow. DO NOT DUMP GRASS CLIPPPINGS, OR BRUSH CUTTINGS IN THE RESERVE AREA. We will be organizing a work day to try to clean up trash from the area.

Pond Fountain: The pond maintenance company should be working to re-install the motor on the fountain the week of April 8. The pond mgmt. company removed the motor and found lots of fishing line wrapped around the motor shaft which likely bound and damaged the seal enough to allow water to infiltrate the housing. PLEASE treat the pond like it is in your own backyard. These are costly repairs to make, and if we have to do them every other year, it quickly becomes an impractical expense.
Reserve A: The drainage area on the south side of Tucson Pl. and S. Umbrella Ave. is starting to back up. This area will be cleaned out soon.
Pond: If you fish in the pond, please clean up after yourself. A homeowner walked the perimeter on Sunday and picked up 14 different lures with hooks (shad, minnows, jigs) and many individual hooks, weights, swivels and lots of fishing line. Don't leave that stuff lying around for others to step on. Wildlife will eat the lures and get tangled in the line. Supervise your kids. Be responsible.

Pool: The three pool lights that were not working have been replaced. The HOA is currently working on repairing one of the round tables that is cracked. The table is under warranty, and a replacement part has been ordered. One umbrella was broken beyond repair, and the other was broken. The HOA is currently looking at options to replace the two umbrellas. The iron fencing on the south side of the pool was impacted by the replacement of grass with concrete, and it no longer lines up. This will be repaired in the coming weeks. At the same time, a leak in the women’s restroom will be repaired. We are also planning to touch up some areas that require painting and installing deadbolt locks on the bathroom doors so that they can be locked at night and in the off-season.
Entries/Landscaping: All spotlights are now working. Currently focused on spring landscaping and plantings. Mowing will begin the week of March 25.
Pond Fountain: An electrician made needed repairs to the wiring in the pump control box. Unfortunately, we continue to have random tripping of the electrical box breakers that control the pump. The pond mgmt. company removed the motor and found lots of fishing line wrapped around the motor shaft which likely bound and damaged the seal enough to allow water to infiltrate the housing. PLEASE treat the pond like it is in your own backyard. These are costly repairs to make and if we have to do them every other year, it quickly becomes an impractical expense.
Reserve A: The drainage area on the south side of Tucson Pl. and S. Umbrella Ave. is starting to back up. This area will be cleaned out in the coming weeks. Currently looking at options in that same general area where the sidewalk is uneven to solve that issue.

Theft from vehicles and vandalism

Don't leave cars in the driveway, but be sure to lock it if you do.
Install motion detectors that turn lights on when vehicles or people are in range. Use security cameras.
Report thefts or acts of vandalism to the Broken Arrow police. If you witness someone vandalizing or stealing from cars, call 911. If it's not an emergency, use the Broken Arrow Police non-emergency number at 918-259-8400. If you are a victim of these crimes, file a report with the police. This is how we get more patrols in the neighborhood. Incidents are not isolated here, they happen in every neighborhood.
