Good evening, Cotton Lakes Community.

 

As you all know, at our annual meeting on June 4th, the present board was ready to step down, and new faces joined. I am happy to say we got some good guys who stepped up to take over the duties. Everyone, please be patient while the change is taking place. As a lot of you are aware of the pool issues over the past few days, our pool company has been notified and will be out on Wednesday to take care of it.

 

Call the Cotton Lakes HOA phone if anyone needs help with something. 334-478-4965 

I have enjoyed my time as your president, and I hope the other board members feel similarly.

 

Charles Castillo- President 

Donnie Adams - Vice President 

John Colquitt - Secretary 

Eddie Hammock - Board Member 

Treasurer - Vacant 

 

Thanks,

Judy Thrift

The new pool liner will be finished this week. We have cleaned the pool breezeway, painted, and cleaned the bathrooms. The pool will be open this year from May 1st through September 30th.
 
This year will come with a price change of $50.00 for a key fob for 5 months, $50.00 for a Private 2-hour pool party. This means only invited guests will be at the pool during the party times. Plus, a $25.00 refundable deposit if the property is left clean. Please do not put tape up on the walls at all. If the smaller can is full, pull the bag and put it into the blue can. An extra bag will be in the bottom for replacement.
Also, please read the pool rules on the form that you sign.

Cotton Lakes Community,

 

I hope everyone is doing well. It's that time of year when we need to start cleaning up our yard.

1. Let's start with killing the weeds; all they do is smother the grass, preventing it from growing.
2. Mailboxes, we have some hanging on by a prayer. Let's get the boxes replaced if damaged. If the whole post is broken, you can get one from Doyle Bingham, 334-799-1018; he can help, or you can do it yourself. The box needs a red flag, a mailbox door on the front, and a lot of the boxes just need a can of spray paint. Please, no zip ties to hold it on.
3. No Parking on the grass in the front yard, you're killing the grass, it's a violation also.
4. Roofs, we understand how difficult it is to deal with insurance companies. These roofs can't have tarps or anything placed to cover up a hole, except if you are waiting to have a roof replacement scheduled. Please call the HOA number and let us know what's going on. We can keep a log of your home.
5. No enclosed trailers, utility trailers, or shed boxes in driveways. Keep in the backyards.
6. Painting your shutters, they have to be either the same color as the original or match the color chart on our Cotton Lakes website. If a shutter falls off, let's keep it put back on.
7. Cotton Lakes' website has the ARB Information and forms you need to fill out before painting, so together we can make sure everything you do is good to go.
8. Dogs, when you walk them up at the Common ponds, please take a bag and clean up after them. It's a mess now just to walk around the ponds. Repair your gates so the dogs can't run loose in the neighborhood.
9. No overnight parking. Make sure all vehicles are in the driveway. Please let us know if you need to park for a night. Someone will be keeping a log for the next step for this violation.
10. Let's get ready for the 2026 year of the best neighborhood. Everything is on the Cotton Lakes website. Please read about the ARB if you haven't. Thank you all. Please reach out if anyone needs help.

Judy Thrift
