HOA Meeting Highlights: November 11, 2008

Manager’s Update:

• Residents again asked about Visitor Parking, and how it is often occupied by vehicles belonging to other residents, so guests have difficulty finding a place to park. Residents were instructed to provide specific details of the vehicles in question in writing on a Complaint/Concern Memo and submitted to the office, with a copy to the HOA.
• With the current water shortage and new water restrictions in the City of San Diego, a resident asked about enforcing the rule that driveways should not be hosed off. It was pointed out that some residents are hosing off their driveways and, in addition, are leaving the debris in the street, so that it blows into other residents’ driveways. Management will be sending a park-wide letter reminding residents to conserve water and observe the park rules and basic courtesy.
• The issue of street parking was also raised. Several residents expressed that this is a growing problem. This issue will also be raised in the park-wide letter referenced above.
• Management was asked about the possibility of having recycling containers in the park. Waste Management charges extra for those containers, and there was also a question of where to put the bins. At this point, any recycling we do must be on our own.
• Construction of a retaining wall on the corner near the fire hydrant is planned; no start date has been set. The street is still dug up, with yellow tape around it. Management will not be filling it in due to the imminent construction of the wall in that same location.
• Management is planning another Holiday Dinner; notices will go out the week of Thanksgiving.

Old Business:

“Meet and Consult” Letter to Management – Residents are still concerned about the large trench near the fire hydrant; there are small muddy handprints on the adjacent wall and it appears that children are crossing the yellow tape and playing in that area.

New Business:

Membership Drive – Membership dues are due in January. The Treasurer will circulate a flyer to all residents soliciting them to join, or renew, their membership. Along with that notice, she will circulate a survey to ascertain residents’ interest in various activities and/or services the HOA may offer.

December meeting – Due to everyone’s busy schedules during the holidays, it was decided that the HOA will not meet in December, and will reconvene at our regularly scheduled date and time in January.
