Hopefully as more information is made available via the CDC and official channels, these regulations can be safely relaxed. Once schedules resume more confidently, we will be able to advise on the date of the next Board Meeting.

Thanks so much for your understanding and please stay healthy!

  • We were able to bring down collection accounts over the last several years.
  • We negotiated with Showplace Landscaping to lower the landscape annual maintenance cost.
  • We cut back on irrigation over the weekends to help save irrigation water cost and control
    irrigation breaks timely.
