Fall '26 Newsletter
Updated: Sep 18
Hello Starweather Residents, we are now heading into the fall season. Here are some updates and helpful tips to keep our community safe and thriving:
Water System:
As you know, one of our two well pumps failed. The pumps were around 14 yrs old, which is near the end of a well-pump lifespan. The HOA had funds on hand from the Special Assessment and we were able to procure two new well pumps without asking for additional HOA funds from the community.
The failed pump has now been replaced, we have two working pumps and are back to functioning under normal water system operations. The second pump has not been replaced but will be scheduled with the contractor soon.
The Board created a Starweather HOA Water System Overview document and posted it our website under the Governing Documents section.
The document shares - where our water is from, how our system runs, our HOA ownership, water rights and our irrigation season. It is worth the read since water is a critical piece of our neighborhood infrastructure that we all own and are responsible for maintaining.
The link below will take you directly to the document:
Annual HOA Meeting No Quorum - Need to Vote for Board Members:
As stated in the email sent out earlier, we did not have the 28 attendees (including proxies) at the annual meeting and were not able to hold board member elections.
There are 3 open seats on the HOA Board as Serena McKnight, Bob Werth and James Mazzoni terms are expired.
Per our bylaws, in the interim, the 3 current board members stay in the role until elections are held. The HOA Board evaluated our by-laws and had an attorney evaluate Idaho State Law; it was determined we are able to do a new vote via e-mail as long as we meet the necessary quorum.
Starweather homeowners will be receiving an e-mail from the Sawtooth Property Management in the next few weeks to vote on the expired HOA Board Positions.
Roads:
Emory Brothers evaluated the roads with the board and selected limited locations to patch the chip seal, they also agreed to fog coat the entire neighborhood to further strengthen the road, smooth it out some and give it a more uniform appearance. This work was completed under our previous contract at no additional cost to the HOA. The chip seal / fog coat project is now closed.
Community Reminders:
Irrigation Season: Our irrigation season closed on September 15th – Please schedule your system for end-of-season blow out maintenance.
Project Updates: The Starweather HOA website is kept up to date and has all the latest details on all our community projects, please refer to it for updates.
Thank you for being such a wonderful part of our community, as always reach out with any questions and concerns. Stay safe and enjoy the beautiful autumn weather!
