We will be keeping the pool open a few weeks past Labor Day.
We are looking to close the pool 9/25/23, but will reevaluate closer to that date.
If warm weather stays around, we will consider keeping it open longer.
Enjoy!
AppFolio Transaction Fee Notice
Our online payment portal, AppFolio, has instated a transaction fee (without prior notice) for e-checks. A transaction fee was already in place for payment by credit card.
Paying online now includes a $2.49 transaction fee to pay by credit card or by e-check. The HOA will be reimbursing August’s (2023) transaction fee to everyone who paid online since there was no notice. However, everyone will be responsible for the fee for September 2023 and on. The HOA board is looking into other online portals without e-check fees.
You can still make payments by check without a fee.

Important Notice (Neighborhood Safety)
In a continued effort to keep our community safe, the HOA Board members met with Champaign’s Chief of Police, Tim Tyler, along with various city of Champaign neighborhood and community relations directors this week.
Chief Tyler wanted us to distribute his DIRECT cell phone number. He is encouraging us all to call or text him when issues with Providence residents arise. He mentioned he lives about 1.5 miles away and can get here quickly after hours.
Part of our conversation was the inability to provide enforcement after the fact, and he seems motivated to try and handle these issues in the moment.
That being said, if you see Providence residents (including children) trespassing, trying to access the pool or clubhouse, etc., feel free to call or text Chief Tyler as soon as possible so he can get here while they are still here. If you have pictures, text those to him as well so he has an idea of who he is looking for.
His phone number is: 217-530-3659
If something has already occurred (example: you catch something on your cameras from the night before), he encourages us to email him and copy 2 other Champaign officers of the incident. Please send to:
[email protected] (Chief of Police)
[email protected] (Champaign’s southwest district patrol lieutenant)
[email protected] (Deputy Chief of Operations)
Please be sure to still file an online report as well: champaignil.gov/police/file-a-report/
If Chief Tyler does not answer promptly, please call the non-emergency number:
217-333-8911
If the incident is a true emergency, please call 9-1-1
Please continue to send the board and CBCDR pictures and videos of incidents as well so that we can send them to Providence’s property managers.
Feel free to contact us with any questions.
Significant Repairs to Building A1
Cobblefield Point Unit Owners,
As you now know, we have recently had some significant repairs required to Building A1 due to structural degradation and moisture infiltration inside the walls and flooring. A construction company suggested that the repairs may have been required due to poor workmanship when the building was originally constructed.
The association hired an engineering firm to review the situation. Additionally, the association filed a claim with its insurance company. The insurance company hired its own forensic engineering firm (Donan Engineering) to evaluate the issue. The engineering company that the association hired (Farnsworth Group) confirmed that there are several problems related to the original construction workmanship. The forensic engineering firm hired by the insurance company also concluded that the damage was a result of faulty or improper workmanship.
Water Leak & Service Impacts to Buildings B1, B2, & A7
Updated May 7th – We have just been informed that the concrete contractor had an emergency this morning and is unable to be on site today (5/7) to repair the water leak between buildings A-7 and B-2. The work has been rescheduled for tomorrow morning.
A water leak has been detected under the drive between buildings A-7 and B-2. In order to identify the location of the leak and to fix the problem, this portion of Thornhill will be closed on Monday, May 7th. This driveway will be closed for a few days as new concrete will need to be placed after the work is completed. Please do not park any cars in the small parking area facing the pond near building B-2. The contractors have requested that this area remain clear for their use.
In addition buildings A-7, B-1 and/or B-2 may lose water service on Monday due to this leak. Please plan accordingly.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Myrna Webber at DRMCU or at 217-403-3300.
We appreciate the patience of all residents during this unexpected work.
Thank you,
HOA Board
