In conjunction with NV Energy, Brycon has set up a special phone number for warranty service on the gas appliances installed or converted during this project. This also includes AC systems.  All calls for warranty service should be directed to this number 775-453-6432 as the contact point for all warranty service calls. The number provides a recorded message and will collect voicemails and text messages which will be responded to within 2 business days at the latest. Service call appointments will be made for Tuesdays and Thursdays during regular business hours. This warranty service call line will be in effect to the end of the one year warranty period, that is, through April 30, 2026. (See Brycon notice below or obtain a copy in the clubhouse lobby.)

Pool project was completed and reopened on June 7th. The cost of the project was $725,000.00. We had to rewire the building, install a new drain system, clean out old drain lines from building to street. The Clubhouse Committee, and Dan Root with the help of Michele Primus did an amazing job in getting this done in less than a year. The three-year delay cost us around $300,00.00 in material cost.  Our general contractor did a great job and helped keep the cost down. 

Our Reserve Budget Plan calls for us to recapture $300,000.00 over the next five years. We will create a separate fund at our Edwards Jones account. With proper investment and timely payments, we hope to reduce the time it takes to capture this money. 

We have found out that we have a large number of key cards in non-homeowners' possession. So, we have been deactivating those cards.  If your card does not work, see Dave at the office.  The homeowners are totally responsible for the use of your card.  Letting family and friends into the clubhouse that results in damage, you will be held financially responsible for the damage.

We need more homeowners on our committees.  This is your community. Please help it grow and be financially sound.

Any questions or comments, please put them in writing by email to Terri Kenyon - terri@kenyonandassociates.com or dropping off written comments at the office.

Our new Facebook site Official RBHOA Lockwood, NV will post new information weekly.  

Our website www.rainbowbendnv.com has all the information you will need about your HOA.

Failure to adhere to the Pool Rules, your key cards(s) will be deactivated and you face possible fines before your key card can be activated.
