Irrigation Shutoff - Monday, October 10
Added 9/29/11 – The pumps for the pressurized irrigation system are scheduled to be shut off on Monday, October 10 at 6:00 pm. The last full day irrigation water will be available is expected to be October 9. You will have to switch to city water afterward to continue watering your property after this date. If you plan to use City water, please be sure to close your valve to the pressurized irrigation system! If you fail to do this, you will be supplying large quantities of City water into the irrigation system—water for which you will receive a bill from the water company. This can be very expensive.

Legends Irrigation System is on LIMITED USE for the remainder of the irrigation season (ending October 10)
Posted: 10/4/11: We will not be able to repair one of the two pump motors that serve the Legends pressurized irrigation system before irrigation water is turned off on October 10. We will continue to provide irrigation water on a limited basis until then. To enable people to continue using pressurized irrigation, we ask that you continue to use the following watering schedule until then:
- If your house number is an even number, water only on an even day.
- If your house number is an odd number, water only on an odd day.
- Consider watering at different times during your scheduled day (so we don't have everyone watering at the same time, such as the early morning)
You have the option to switch to city water, if you want to water any time during this period of limited use, but you will have to pay for the water you use (which will appear on your water bill). We apologize for the inconvenience, but unfortunately mechanical failures will happen.

The purpose of Legends Night Out is the same as National Night Out, an informal way for neighbors can meet and get to know each other. Ice cream and entertainment will be provided. Please bring a desert to share, your own drinks, and a blanket or chair. If you have any questions, please contact Beverly Haglund at 939-9975 or via e-mail at bydreamer@aol.com

2010 Holiday Light Contest Update - Cash Prizes Suspended
Added 12/7/10 – The Legends Homeowners Association (HOA) Board of Directors has voted to suspend the awarding of cash prizes for the Holiday Light Contest this year. The Board agrees with concerns raised by several homeowners about awarding cash prizes while at the same time raising annual dues. Although the total amount of prize money is very small ($150), it would be contradictory to sustain this discretionary expense in the face of a broader fiscal challenge. Hopefully this small 'bah humbug' will not deter homeowners from putting on a fabulous display of holiday cheer this year!
2010 Holiday Light Contest - Week Of December 12
Added 11/30/10 – It's that time of year again for the 2010 Legends Holiday Light Contest! Judging will take place during the week of December 12 and winners will be notified by Christmas Eve. For more information, please visit the "Events" section on the Legends website or click on: http://www.legendsofboise.com/events.php#holidaylights.
Legends HOA Annual Dues Increase
Added 11/30/10 – The Legends HOA Board of Directors has reluctantly approved a $10 per year increase in the Legends Homeowners Association (HOA) annual dues in 2011 (as per the authority granted the Board in the CC&Rs). This will increase annual dues from $360 to $370 (the equivalent of $1.01 per day). The Legends has historically maintained a minimum reserve account of $15,000 for unexpected or emergency situations. This reserve account was partially depleted during 2010 due to significant expenses associated with aging of the pressurized irrigation system and maturing of common area landscaping. The reserve account now stands at $9,000 and puts us at risk should a major expense occur, such as an irrigation pump failure. A $20 increase is required to replenish the reserve account by $6,000 and restore a $15,000 balance (316 lots x $20/lot). Given the current economic climate affecting many homeowners, the Board decided to increase dues by only $10. The Board is determined to manage HOA finances prudently and will reduce annual dues in the future if possible. Thank you for your support and understanding.
