Good Morning Residents,
It’s Black Friday, traditionally one of the biggest holiday shopping days of the year. Shop with caution. Coronavirus and the Flu are very active.

HPA MEETING NOTES – November 21st, 2022
Paving Lawsuit Update with Attorney, Andy Wyman.
By Sue Loeser. (Click on “button” below for notes from HPA BOD MEETING WITH ATTORNEY ANDY WYMAN).
The HPA Board approved a motion for the HPA to reimburse the $10,500 & $7,000 pressure washing cost to HP1 and HP3 respectively for the driveway cleaning. Any issues with the paint or aesthetic look of the driveway are the responsibility of HP1 & HP3.
The HPA Board approved the amended HPA budget raising legal expenses to 30K, reducing R&M by 10K, and increasing prior year’s surplus by 5K to 180K. That will allocate more funds to the legal expense line to cover paving legal expenses but keep the HPA budget at the same $73 increase per unit, not impacting the phases budgets for 2023.

Good Morning Residents,
CLUBHOUSE RENOVATION
We have encountered our first major delay for the opening of our Clubhouse. At our HPA meeting on October 19th Dutch Bliss and Larry Zabik explained that the clubhouse may not open until late April 2023 and the main pool deck not until May 2023. The delay is in the delivery of the Siemens electric panels, panel boards, breakers, switch gears and several other key components. These panels cannot be bought off the shelf and are being manufactured to meet our electrical needs. Dutch and Larry are trying their best to move up our opening date.
MAINTENANCE BUILDING
Dutch Bliss and Larry Zabik discussed the maintenance building which we must erect. One of our two maintenance sheds we have was placed over an easement. Neither has a permit. Both sheds must be removed.
Once Slattery creates the drawings and we receive the permit construction should be 60-90 days. The building will match our clubhouse. A pre-fab building was discussed but many board members saw the value in having a cement building to match our clubhouse. The cost of construction has increased by 20% from last year. Concrete has gone up from $100 to $140 per yard. Electrical components have increased by 20%.
HPA MEETING
The board indicated that there will be no further assessment to our residents to pay for the Maintenance Building and whatever other projects the board decides to do now. We can borrow money at 3.7%. We have ten years to pay back whatever money we borrow from the bank. We can only draw until the end of June. We also have reserve money we can use as well as the Community Contribution fund which currently collects $2500 from every new resident. We can use from both to repay the ten-year loan.
The board approved a motion to Crown Prune and reduce approximately 700 hardwood trees that are adjacent to the buildings and villas for the sum of $73,500 plus dump fees. The pruning allows the wind to blow through the tops of the trees during a hurricane. The pruning will be done during our dry season in January/February. This will take 5 to 6 weeks to complete.
The board approved a motion to raise the cost of barcodes from $5.00 to $10.00 effective January 1, 2023. Any damaged barcodes will be replaced free of charge.
HPA BUDGET/REGULAR MEETING
Please join us on Tuesday October 25th, 2022 at 10am for two consecutive meetings. First, we will have our annual budget meeting and then a regular meeting.
https://www.huntingtonpointe.net/live/
POOLS/SPAS
Once again, a visitor at the North Pool sprayed himself with sunscreen and as it was dripping off his arms and legs, he immediately entered the pool not giving the product a chance to dry. We ask that everyone using the pools and spas rinse off before entering. The sunscreen clog’s up the filters and filter replacement is becoming very costly to the community.
BOCCE
We now have an additional set of Bocce balls available to residents who wish to play off hours. The balls are stored in the shuffleboard equipment closet.
MID-TERM ELECTIONS
Early Voting starts October 24th through November 6th, 2022. The polls are open from 7am to 7pm. You can vote early at the Hagen Ranch Public Library or the South County Civic Center. Bring your Photo I.D.
NOTE: There will be sub-contractors at the clubhouse Sunday working on the elevators.
ENJOY LIFE!
