Comcast survey

After recording the responses to the question of keeping cable tv, owners voted over 60% in favor of keeping cable tv as an expense of the HOA.  Therefore, that’s what we will do. 

Your board will try to negotiate a better price with Comcast and we will let you know when have an answer. So far, they haven’t responded to numerous messages but we’re not giving up.

Dues statement

As was discussed at the annual meeting, the capital reserve portion of the dues has been broken out separately so that owners can see how much is being set aside for capital improvements. This has always been a part of the HOA dues, but just not previously broken out by line item.

The previous special assessment to pay for deck improvements was a 4-quarter assessment and is no longer being charged. Dues in your current statement were unanimously approved by the owners at the annual meeting.

The small amount of capital reserve saving underscores the financial challenges the HOA faces for future capital costs and is the reason we will be scheduling another homeowner’s meeting to discuss methods for increasing our reserves to pay for future big ticket items (roofs, parking lots, etc.) that will require major maintenance and/or replacement in the near future.

Hot tub update

The access control vendor has had some issues getting the new key card system fully operational. Hot tub 1 (buildings 1-4) is functional. Hot tub 2 (buildings 5-8) is requiring some additional parts. This system should be fully operational soon and key cards will be issued to owners. Fencing is substantially complete, however some minor adjustments still need to be made to complete the fences.
