Barrington Ridge HOA

Our annual Community Yard Sale is scheduled for Saturday, May 3, 2008 from 8 AM to 4 PM. Everyone is invited to participate. Each homeowner can set up whatever items you wish to sell on your driveway or garage area. We will advertise in the local newspapers and have signs at the entrance. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for good weather!

Just reminder to everyone...please be sure to keep trash in your yard picked up. Our trash/re-cycle pick-up day is Wednesday. Trash must be placed at the curb no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day, but not before 3 p.m. on the previous day. The city will pick up two bags per week per eligible household without tags. If you have more than two bags, you can buy a tag for each additional bag for $1 each at designated Westlake Ace Hardware and Price Chopper locations. If your trash is left out the evening before, you take the risk of having animals break into the bags and spreading your trash all over your yard and the street. If this happens, you are responsible for cleaning up the mess. Please help keep our neighborhood looking nice and clean!

The weather has been terrible this year and it is frustrating to have to navigate the streets and sidewalks to walk your pets but please clean up after them. It is not just a request but the law.

It is a direct violation of the City of Kansas City, Missouri Code of Ordinances, Sec. 14-19, Code of Gen. Ords. 1967, § 6.17; Ord. No. 48707, 6-22-78; Ord. No. 65201, 3-1-90:

Judgments against a dog owner for these offenses carry a fine of $75.00 to $500.00 dollars. Homeowners can report violators to Animal Control by contacting the Action Center at 513-1313

It only takes a few moments and will make our area a better place to live!

At the annual meeting for the Reserve HOA, Beth Hoff was elected to a board position even though she was not in attendance at the meeting. She declined the position. Our indentures require that at least one board member be a homeowner from the 11 houses in the Estates. Laura Cavazos has agreed to take a position on the board.
