Hello Members,
We are getting a lot done during the offseason, so our cash flow is tight. Thank you all for making your payments on time each month, it really makes our budgeting easier!
We of had 83 of the 88 units pay the month of July. Our 2023 Budget was estimated based on 86 of 88 units paying. We have one owner that is $1012.16 past due. Not cooperating with requests for payment, it has been turned over to the CPA for debt certification, which is the first step in legal collection.
We are watching spending very closely, no overtime for the grounds crew staff.
Our 2023 Annual budget that past at the AGM was the one that included the $20.00 increase which began March 1. Several emails and statements have been sent to these units that have not made the adjustment and are past due:
7005 $105.39
7017 $100.61
The past due list as of July 31:
7010 $250.00
7020 $1012.16
8035 $240.00
Total Short term past due $1708.16
I am happy to work with owners to make arrangements. Reminder again, you receive a monthly invoice from our accountant for the current month’s dues around the 1st of the month and Treasurer sends HOA Statements after the 15th. Dues are always due on the 1st and considered past due on the 15th.
7009 is still in negotiation process for a settlement after all these years. Our HOA attorney is working through the group that owns this one. There is a mortgage on this unit and the bank that holds that mortgage has gotten the legal process to the court and are awaiting a date for the auction to be scheduled.
8034 is an issue that we are proceeding with legal action. The outstanding balance outstanding is $2036.30 has been certified by Castro CPA, our auditor. Presented to the court for approval, continuing to wait for the response from the court to proceed with their part.

Water flooding issues
Hello,
I hope everyone is doing great!
The purpose of this note is to share evidence of the water flooding issues we have in the units around 7035. I have been waiting to see if the HOA is planning to take action but it seems like there’s no action plans to take and solve these issues around my condo and I would like to raise my hand as these issues are now impacting me directly. I recently remodeled my condo and I’m now experiencing excess humidity in all of the walls which is a pain and a waste of money if the root cause of the issue is not fixed.
How can I take this to the HOA so we can plan for a definitive fix and execute it asap during the dry season.
P.S: I have pictures and videos of these issues that I was not able to load to this page but that I can share with everyone as proof of these issues.
Thanks in advance,
Douglas Castro.
