Board seeks new Pool Manager for 2026 swim season

Image
Looking for a way to give back to the Eagle Nest community? Want a hand in operating our wonderful Pool facility? Interested in managing our experienced lifeguard staff and coordinating occasional pool events? Enjoy engaging with residents in a fun, relaxing environment? The Eagle Nest Board has a job for you! We are seeking a new Pool Manager to replace long-time employee Samantha Burns, who is stepping down due to an increasingly busy work and personal schedule. Sam (right) has been connected with the pool for more than a decade, starting first as a guard, then head guard and lastly as manager. She has been a reliable, behind-the-scenes hero in keeping our pumps running, ensuring water quality met health-code standards, juggling staff schedules, and coordinating service calls, among other things. Under her leadership, our Pool has remained open daily and fully staffed, year after year. Her institutional knowledge will be greatly missed! So now, the search has begun for our next Pool ...

Crime Watch alert: Man enters fenced back yard, stares into home on Warbler Way

Image
Residents are advised to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to police after an intruder incident Friday, Jan. 9, on Warbler Way. Between 10-11 p.m., a man wearing an orange top entered a fenced back yard and stared at a babysitter in the home for several minutes, the homeowner told the Eagle Nest Board. The babysitter called her parents to the house, but the intruder was gone before they arrived. Police were called and they did a sweep of the area but didn’t find anything.

Still have your old blue trash cart? Two-week pickup window begins Monday, Jan. 12

Image
Eagle Nest residents, As you know, the City of Indianapolis recently switched residential trash service providers from Republic to LRS in Marion County. In recent weeks, most of the old blue trash carts have been replaced with new gray bins. Unfortunately, some residents still have their blue carts, largely because LRS information about pickup dates for the discontinued carts has been unclear and incomplete.  Until now. Eagle Nest Board member Ben Clemons recently contacted the Mayor’s Action Center about the remaining blue Republic carts in our neighborhood. He secured a two-week pickup window, starting Monday, Jan. 12 , for all remaining blue trash carts. (Case #2500002060) If you still have a blue trash cart, the city asks that you put it out to the curb by Monday, Jan. 12, and leave it there – empty -- for pickup within the next two weeks. (We’re told it may happen sooner, possibly within seven days.) The cart pickup does not include the yellow-topped recycling carts. Sure, our...

Want to keep our neighborhood safe during the storm? Ask your neighbor to move their vehicles

Image
The current winter storm is expected to dump 4-6 inches of new snow Sunday, so the Eagle Nest Board kindly asks all neighbors to move their vehicles off the street this weekend. This lets our snowplows clear the roads efficiently, meaning a cost savings for the plowing services we all pay for. Keeping the roads clear is also a safety concern -- and just something that good neighbors do. Think of it this way: Every car left on the street is one small snow island plows have to work around. Clear roads make for a smoother, safer pass for everyone. Thursday on our blog site and Facebook page , the Board asked neighbors to move their cars out of the way. As of 4 p.m. today, more than 90 percent of homes helped us out But that left more than 30 cars and trucks in the way of plows. Some of these may have been short-term visitors, but if any of these are your neighbors and you want to gently suggest they help us all out, it would be great to put these vehicles in driveways instead.  Areas ...
