Thank you to everyone who came out for Movie Night on April 28th. We had an estimated 150 people who were able to enjoy the free popcorn and help the Cub Scouts with some fund raising at the same time.
Thank you specifically to Todd Miesner who graciously ran home several times for a larger screen and speakers. Thanks also to all those that helped with set up and cleanup--we left the park without any trace of garbage.
We'd also like to recognize our CSD General Manager, Chaney, and her husband Larry for the time and effort they put in to make this event fun and well organized.
This was our first event like this, so we were excited about the wonderful turn-out we had. We are always grateful for any feedback, so that we can improve in the future.

Message from the President

As we roll into a new year, we reflect on what we have accomplished and look forward to new opportunities within our district. For those new to our community, I’d first like to introduce our wonderful community. The Rolling Hills Community Services District is made up of 3 distinct subdivisions: Springfield Meadows, Shadow Hills and Stonebriar. Inside Springfield Meadows, we have Berkshire Park. Joerger Park is currently natural open space along Hwy 50 running the length of our community. Our largest park is Stonebriar Park, centrally located within Stonebriar.
Our CSD is responsible for maintaining the safety and infrastructure of our roads, parks and open spaces. In 2011, we identified and fixed a major source of flooding along Montrose and repaired roads in many locations where extremely necessary. We deferred a road sealing project until this summer to maintain our budget. A few generous residents pitched in to disburse 55 yards of bark in the Stonebriar Park play area. We also overhauled the community website to make it easier to use and provide more information.
This year, we are planning projects for long term enjoyment of our community. We need lots of input and involvement from our residents to be successful.
Let’s make it a great year!
Tim Halverson, RHCSD Board President

Parking SafetyMonday, 09 April 2012 11:53 | Written by Mike Nevlida | | |
Please help prevent your parked vehicle from becoming a safety hazard. Help educate your visitors too! 1. No parking at fire access roads: within Springfield Meadows at the end of Manchester and Haddington and within Stonebriar on Montrose. 2. Maintain 100 feet of visibility by parking further away from stop signs and corners. 3. Do not park in crosswalks. Although not always marked, crosswalks exist near every stop sign. A blocked crosswalk forces pedestrians into the street where a driver's view is obstructed. 4. Avoid constricting traffic flow by not parking cars nearby or across from each other, especially on narrow lanes or those roads specifically marked for no parking. 5. Do not park on sidewalks. Walkers and bicyclists are in danger when they have to move into the street to avoid your parked vehicle blocking the sidewalk!

Budget Update - March, 2012Monday, 09 April 2012 09:53 | Written by Linda Stone | | |
The final budget for FY 2011-12 is $149,050, adopted July 19, 2011. Revenue is derived primarily from two sources: a percentage of property taxes and an annual special assessment of $200 per parcel of property within our district. Projected revenue for this year includes property taxes of $65,000, special assessment of $65,000 and miscellaneous interest income and other sources of $3,650. The budget is balanced by drawing on funds in the carryover balance of $15,400. This year’s adopted budget is only $150 more than the previous year, even though the District faces increasing utility costs of over 5% and costs for completion of a three year audit. To compensate for those added expenditures, spending was tightened incrementally in most of the expense categories. Expenditures fall into four main categories: maintenance, utilities, services and general administration. This year’s budget for maintenance of parks, grounds, drainage, roads and lighting is $69,000, or 46% of the total. Funds earmarked for utility costs, including power and water, are $30,200, or 20%. Services, including that of the general manager, district clerk, legal counsel, accounting/audit services, and meeting room set-up, are $35,500, or 24%. Miscellaneous expenses, including insurance, telephone, education, director services, publication and others are $15,000, or 10%. Each year, a preliminary budget is required for all special districts by July 1st and a final budget is due September 1st. A noticed public hearing is held prior to the adoption of the final budget, at which time any person may appear and be heard regarding any item in the budget or the addition of other items.
