Please attached the next quarterly meeting of Woodcliff Lakes scheduled for Sunday, March 11th, at 1:30pm at the Woodcliff Community Center.  The agenda will include an hour for discussion of ATV/UTV use on Woodcliff common grounds.  The Board would like YOUR opinion on providing a solution to use of ATV/UTVs at Woodcliff which would still allow all residents to enjoy the outdoors.

     The pump in the east well has been replaced and is now up and running as usual.  A final repair to the electrical panel on the west well still needs to be completed.  This spring the water tower will be cleaned and inspected and painted - residents will be notified when this occurs.  The pump in the west well will be inspected this year also.  The six percent increase in dues for 2012 will all go towards the work on the water system and re-establishing the water system reserve fund.

    Woodcliff Maintenance will be installing 200 posts and planting
two hundred 18-24" red cedar trees along the narrowed Airport Road
in the next few weeks.  The Homeowner's Association has a sixty foot road easement from the front property line of residents' lots in that area.  The Board is attempting to begin a new tree line on the Association easement to outline the proper road width and establish a future tree buffer that is easily maintainable.

     The sandy, roped-off area at the end of North Lake Shore Drive, aka Airport Road, which is used by ATVs, UTVs, etc., is CLOSED.
     Due to an abundance of noise, dust, and speed which have created safety and liability issues along with adverse conditions for residents in the area, the Woodcliff Board has decided to CLOSE this area.
    
May 6, 2011
        PeopleService, the operator of the Woodcliff drinking water system, has published the 2010 Water Quality Report.  A copy is included in the summer newsletter or you may access it via this link.

March 28, 2011
        Take note of the new speed limits near the HWY 77 Platte River Bridge - 40 MPH.   The speed limit has been reduced so that grading work for the bridge project can begin.  NE Dept. of Roads project manager Micky Jacobs says they hope to have all the grade in place and some of it paved by August 1st when work in the river channel begins for the bridge.  Cramer & Associates of Grimes, IA is the general contractor for the $16.3 million bridge project.  ME Collins Contracting of Wahoo is doing the grading work.  More info can be found at the NDOR website:

        The new 2011 Rules & Regulations have been published.  CLICK HERE FOR A COPY.  Significant changes have been made and include several new rules, especially to prevent Zebra Mussels from infilitrating the lakes.  MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THE RULES BECAUSE THE FINE SCHEDULE HAS INCREASED ALSO!

January 17, 2011
        At their January 3, 2011 meeting, the Woodcliff Lakes Board of Directors approved a motion that in 2011 all residents will be responsible for obtaining their Woodcliff watercraft stickers BEFORE THE WATERCRAFT IS USED on the lakes.  There will be NO warnings issued by security; if watercraft are being used without a Woodcliff sticker, a citation will be issued IMMEDIATELY.  This is the fifth year of issuing stickers and all residents should be aware of this important rule.  Once you have a copy of your current insurance and proof of State of Nebraska registration, contact Security at 402-721-3000 to get your watercraft sticker.

In an effort to maintain a consistent lake level, a marker was made and installed at the spillway by the river last month.  Adjustments to the spill gates will be made by maintenance to control the lake level.  The marker is a color-coded pipe that indicates water level conditions.  The three colors and their indications are as follows:           
   1) GREEN - low level 
   2) SILVER - optimal operating level     
   3) RED - high level.

     Zebra Mussels are tiny, one inch clams that attach themselves to flat, underwater surfaces.  They have no natural enemies and are prolific breeders which can invade lakes and water systems rapidly.  They crowd out all other native water species and spread to other lakes by hitchhiking on boats, fishing gear, and in bait buckets, live wells, and bilge water.  Preventing them from traveling to Woodcliff is the only way to avoid their invasion.    Prevention includes:   Keeping the boat ramp gate locked to prevent outsiders from entering our lake.  Decontaminate your watercraft between use at different lakes by draining the bilge, motor, wells and washing these areas with bleach.   Also wash the boat and trailer with hot water or let it dry in the sun for 5 days. Dispose of excess bait in the trash, not in the lake.  Remove weeds from trailers, motors, etc.  Zebra mussels have been found in the Base Lake at Offut and in a few fishing reervoirs in Kansas and South Dakota.  A Zebra Mussel sighting map can be found at:
