Items of Business Discussed

  1. HOA Financial Statements – the board reviewed, discussed and accepted the Balance sheets and financial statements prepared by the HOA’s accountant.
  2. Streetlights/SDGE – Mike Esparza reported on his efforts to work with SDGE on replacing two streetlights on Wiskon Way with lights that match existing lights rather than the random inventory they installed.  The board discussed further efforts to gain SDGE’s compliance and other attendant issues.  Mike will re-engage with SDGE in this effort and report back to the Board.
  3. Website Maintenance – Jodie reported that our website was being maintained by Colin who has since left the Board and the Board discussed options to replace his services.  A motion was made and adopted on a 5-0 vote to authorize the President and VP to research the approximate cost of securing outside services to perform initial services on the website with follow-up monthly maintenance services in an amount not to exceed $2500 for the first 6 months and report back to the Board at its next meeting.
  4. Curbside House Numbering – The Board considered Jim Cipriano’s request that the HOA assume the project formerly performed by PVRA to install metal house address placards on the curbs throughout the subdivision.  The Board voted 5-0 not to assume this project.
  5. Request to Lower HOA Dues – The Board discussed Judge Buskuhl’s request for the Board to lower HOA dues.  The Board voted 5-0 to Table this item for 8 months and re-look at the issue before the next dues notice is sent out.
  6. Director Positions – Board members all agreed to continue to serve pending the upcoming election and the President will put in motion the steps for the June Ballot.  Board members agreed to re-align duties within the Board as follows:

Jodie Lawston will remain as President and Michael Martello will assume the duties of handling all complaints and questions directed to the President and HOA through phone calls and the website and also respond to Escrow requests for HOA documents.

Mike Esparza will continue to serve as VP.

Beverly Rosas will continue to serve on the ARC with Jodie and Roland.

Roland will serve as Treasurer with Check deposits and payments assistance from our accountant.

Michael Martello will serve as Secretary.

  1. CC&R Survey – The Board discussed the timing of sending a survey out to the membership soliciting their interest and support to undertake a revision to the HOA’s CC&R’s.   The Board agreed on a preference for a socially distanced in-person gathering beforehand.  The Board voted 5-0 to schedule a membership meeting after the June election to present information to the membership about the factors which may support revising the CC&R’s.

The meeting adjourned after the sun had set.  Dinner was still warm.
