Below is a copy of the newsletter that will be mailed to all co-owners around October 3, 2022.
Hello Neighbors! Please take the time to peruse the notes below and understand what is happening in our community. Be sure that Herriman has your up-to-date contact information on file for any time-sensitive updates.
Community Management – New Manager
It has been a rough couple years on the management front. Our previous manager Tiffany Snadon officially left her position at Herriman & Associates in early July. Dan Herriman (owner) again filled in for a couple months, before a new manager was hired and assigned to Turnberry in August: Paul Bedich.
These management transitions take time. Please be patient as we work with Paul to get up to speed on the past history and current needs of our community and as we find a new flow of communication. In the meantime, if you have concerns that your messages are not getting to our manager or Herriman, please email the board.
Project Updates
Village Circle Road Repair:
Nagle Paving will be repairing the cracks and drainage issues down the middle of Village Circle, around to the south entrance. By repairing the center of the road, we will be able to get several more years of use out of the road before we have to have it completely replaced. (See Reserve Study for details.) This repair is expected to begin Friday, September 23, and be completed over the course of 2-4 business days. This will likely cause disruption to traffic flow during that time. The new pavement will not be driveable while it cures. Updates are communicated via flyers on the mailboxes, the A-frame sign by the entrance, and by email from Herriman. Please be sure Herriman has your contact info on file.
Masonry Repair:
As you have seen, this project got off to a slow start. Like many contractors, A&J Stone is experiencing high turnover and staffing issues. There are few masonry contractors available and it was difficult to even get a company to bid on the project. This project and (the road repair), are being managed by a third party civil engineering company, so we are confident that it will ultimately be completed in line with the project specifications. Please be patient while we work with A&J as best we can to complete the repairs.
Exterior Painting – Buildings #10 – 13:
U&S Companies painted the final 3 buildings in our 3-year cycle May/June this year. The painting also included the four wooden street signs and a maintenance shed. However, with the transition between managers occurring in June, the final review and followup was not completed. Recently a board member and our new manager did a site review with the U&S manager and determined there were a few items that needed to be addressed before we could call the project complete. It is possible that painters may need to access the exterior of your unit to complete the project. We will update as information is provided.

Dryer Vent Cleaning – Update
Expected service date: Wednesday, September 28 October 19, 2022
[UPDATE: The dryer vent cleaning date has been rescheduled.]
Thank you to everyone who has signed up for Clean & Green Vent Cleaning this year. The list of names and addresses has been provided to the company and the service will be provided this month.. Typically Tim or another provider comes through and does all the units on the list and leaves an invoice. Invoices can be paid by phone or mail. There was no obligation to take part in this service, this is just a recommended service for our units and we are able to get a discount as a group.
If you have any other recommended service providers, please let us know by emailing board@myturnberry.com and we will share this information with other co-owners in our next newsletter and our March Annual Meeting.
Reminder: Trash Day and General Cleanup
Our trash and recycling bins are picked up on Mondays. Please be sure your lids are closed and on windy days, do not put your bins out too early so they don’t get knocked over and make a mess. When you are returning your bins to your garage, please take the time to look around and pick up any loose litter around your unit that may have escaped from the bins. Thank you!
Deck Repairs & Other Violations
If you received a letter in July citing violations of our community bylaws, such as the need to repair or refinish your deck, be sure to schedule your contractor or begin the project yourself soon!
Co-owners are responsible for the repair and replacement needed for our back decks and patios, and it gets much harder to keep the deck dry and clear for this type of project as we head toward Autumn. You can find a list of approved paint and stain colors at myturnberry.com/info.
Please note: Fines will be assessed if your violation is not addressed.
Contact Info
**Important** Some time-sensitive communications from Herriman & Associates or from the Board of Directors are communicated through emails. Please be sure that Herriman has your up-to-date contact information on file.
Lease Forms
For co-owners who lease their units: Please supply a new copy of your lease to Herriman by Dec 1, 2022. During the course of the ransomware attack late last year, these files were encrypted and are now unrecoverable. Please also consider asking your tenant to supply contact info to Herriman, for use in case of emergency.
Are you new to Turnberry Village?
New to the neighborhood or new to condominium living, here are some basic things you need to know…

Modification Requests: If you plan to make any modification to the exterior of your unit, from installing a doorbell camera to replacing your windows, you must file a modification request form for board/management approval.
