Mountain Oaks will host our second annual garage sale Saturday, June 27th. Start cleaning out those closets and garages. We will place signs the morning of the garage sale and post it on the neighborhood pages. If your street is going to partake, please text me at (719) 205-1778 so I put signs for your street. Thank you, Celeste Fitzpatrick .

Did you know? 
(from Dave Luken, our Firewise representative for MOHA)

There is a 2020 grant program from the Colorado Springs Fire Department that will do a cost share with MOHA homeowners. To qualify, work must be approved by the fire department prior to beginning a tree removal project to make sure your project meets fire mitigation requirments, rather than a landscape project. The Tree Removal Company must be registered and properly insured through the city. Cost share cannot be approved after the fact.

Please refer to the full set of requirements for grant approval, as well as information on how homeowners can get a Colorado Income Tax credit for the cost of fire mitigation work.

Also, homeowners, please keep track of your costs incurred and hours of work, including all fire mitigation work and the September free chipping, as these can be applied as a credit to the entire HOA to contiue our certification for next year. Hours and costs can be turned into Dave Luken.
