DO NOT FEED WILDLIFE! It is against Colorado State Law
The Board has received several complaints about homeowners feeding wildlife. While animals like squirrels and rabbits may seem harmless—or even entertaining—feeding them is against Colorado law. Colorado Parks & Wildlife strongly reminds residents: “Be a good neighbor to Colorado wildlife—don’t feed them.”
Why it matters:
Health & Safety:
- Squirrels are rodents, closely related to rats and mice. They carry fleas and parasites, and their sharp teeth and claws can cause damage.
- Digging up lawns, flower beds, and gardens
- Eating roots of roses and perennials
- Stripping bark from trees
- Chewing deck railings, exterior wood, and even electrical wiring (including holiday lights and car engines)
- Once established, squirrels, rabbits, or other rodents may require professional pest control at about $100 per animal—an expense no one wants.
Feeding wildlife may seem kind, but it creates neighborhood problems, property damage, and suffering for the animals themselves.
Do not feed peanuts to squirrels, rabbits, or any wildlife. Let wildlife stay wild—and be a good neighbor to your community.

2026 Budget Ratification Meeting
Thursday, November 20th, 6:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Westridge Rec Center
In accordance with state statute, a meeting to review the Board-approved 2026 budget will be held during the regularly scheduled Board meeting on November 20, 2025, beginning at 6:00 p.m., located at Westridge Recreation Center, 9650 Foothills Canyon Blvd, Highlands Ranch, CO 80129. A quorum of the homeowners is not required to ratify the annual budget. Therefore, a proxy is not included in this mailing.
Below is the approved 2026 budget. After much review, discussion, careful consideration and hard work, the Board of Directors has adopted a budget with a $10 INCREASE to your association dues effective January 1, 2026.
The 2026 budget has been prepared in accordance with the VHRS Declarations, Article V, Section 11, Annual Budget (copy enclosed), and mailed to each Subassociation owner. This meeting will be held to consider the ratification of the budget. Unless Subassociation owners casting at least 67% of the VHRS votes reject the budget at the meeting, the budget will be ratified, regardless of whether a quorum is present. In event the proposed budget is rejected, the most recently ratified periodic budget will continue until Subassociation owners ratify a new budget proposed by the Board of Directors.
We hope to see you at the meeting!

Be Prepared for Emergencies
At the February Board meeting, Selena Silva from South Metro Fire Rescue shared valuable insights on emergency preparedness. Recent wildfires—like the Marshall Fire and those in California—serve as stark reminders that even urban areas need to be ready for disasters such as wildfires, floods, tornadoes, and severe snowstorms.
To help residents stay informed and prepared, South Metro has published the "Preparing for Emergencies" workbook and guide. This comprehensive resource covers:
✅ Wildfire Basics – Understanding fire behavior and risks
✅ Home Hardening Tips – Steps to make your home more fire-resistant
✅ Emergency Readiness – Checklists for preparation and evacuation
✅ Fire-Resistant Landscaping – How to create a defensible space
✅ Critical Alert Systems – Learn how to sign up for Douglas County CODERED and South Metro Fire Co. PULSEPOINT

Sample text2025 Amended Collection policy Effective 10-1-2025
VHRS Board approved updated its Collection Policy effective 10/1/2025 because of recently passed legislation (House Bill 25-1043.
The full version of the Collection Policy is provided under the Governing Documents section of this website. In addition, the collection policy is also provided on Westwind's Owner Portal. Once logged into the Owner Portal, please navigate to the "Document" button, and then search for "Collection Policy".
The policy updates the policy and delinquency charges and time frames when an account becomes delinquent and if the delinquency is not resolved within a certain number of days, the Subassociation reserves the right to record a notice of lien in Douglas County property records, and the Board may vote to turn the account over to the Subassociation's attorney for prompt legal action which will result in charges plus possible attorney fees and costs.
Please remember, assessments are due by the 1st of each month in which payment is due.
Delinquent assessments can be a very critical problem and Westwind Management takes receipt of those assessments on behalf of
the Subassociation very seriously.
