HOA Meeting Highlights: June 10, 2008

Manager’s Update:
Carlos Camacho was not present. Residents were in attendance to discuss the following issues with park management:

• RV Storage security, and management’s contention that barbed wire is not allowed because it is a “multi-housing community,” yet this park already has a considerable amount of barbed wire, presumably for security reasons.
• Continued questions about office hours, and why they are not being adhered to.
• Still no date set for the completion of the construction project.
• While the lock on pool gate has been installed; residents reported seeing the bathroom doors left unlocked, allowing unfettered access to the pool by non-residents.
• In follow-up to last month’s agreement to turn around the dumpsters by the Car Wash to enable residents to get the lids closed, several residents reported that this was done only once, which worked out quite well, but after that first time, the dumpsters continued to be returned to their old positions which prevent residents from being able to close the lids.
• A potentially hazardous situation with a gas lamp post that has been knocked over; was reported two weeks ago, but still has not been resolved.
• Visitor parking continues to be an ongoing problem, with several residents habitually parking in Visitor parking, again raising the question of what constitutes a “guest” vs. a “resident.”
• Street parking was raised by several residents, who expressed concern that with so many vehicles in the street, it would be difficult for emergency vehicles to maneuver through the park.
• Rules regarding pets are not being enforced; several residents complained of dog waste being left in their yards; rules regarding leashed animals and picking up and properly disposing of feces must be enforced.

Legislative Update:
Prop 98 failed, Prop 99 passed. Rent control and homeowner protections in the MRL continue in full force and effect. Thank you for voting.

Old Business:
“Meet and Consult” Letter to Management – In light of the slow responses, no discernable change in management’s practices, and outright misstatements of fact in correspondence received from both Carlos and George, it was decided that the next letter will be sent up the chain, to J & H corporate, with a copy to Carlos and George.

New Business:
HOA Board Elections – Ballots were cast and counted. The following is the slate of officers and directors for 2008-2009: President-Ken Takei, Vice President-Al Servey, Treasurer-Sandra Coine, Secretary-Suzanne Ervine, Directors at Large-Jay Johnson, Susan Kite, Elena Servey.
