Association Bulletins

As the year end approaches we are preparing for another election cycle. Three of the five seats on our Board are up for election. Based on cumulative balloting results, elected Board members will be installed at our Annual Meeting in January 2027. The cycle begins in October when our management company mails out an election notice and a Statement of Candidacy form to all members. We encourage any member interested in contributing to the management of our community to submit a Statement of Candidacy. Board membership is a leadership opportunity to serve the best interests of our community regarding rules, finances, maintenance, quality of life, and property values.

Beginning 8 September 2026, deteriorated and damaged rain gutters and downspouts will be replaced throughout the community. Work will commence on Verena Court and continue for 4 weeks, ending in Leto Circle. These are the particulars:

• Buildings will be posted before work begins
• Working hours will be 7:30am – 4:30pm Monday through Friday
• You do not need to be home when the work is performed
• Workers will be on roofs and ladders
• There will be no need to access the interior of the home
• Front entry and rear patio gates must be unlocked.

The Board expresses its regrets for any noise or inconvenience this project may cause. Please address your concerns or requests to our construction Manager, Brian Fulgham, at 949-212-3345 or pbcmcinc@gmail.com.

Two seats on the Board were open for election with terms commencing 1 January 2026. Two incumbents were the only candidates running for these seats. Attaining the 25% minimum quorum in early February 2026, the annual meeting of the members was held via Zoom on 12 February 2026. Our third-party inspector of elections, Accurate Voting, Inc., opened and counted the ballots, reporting the following results:

• Evan Goss, 69 votes
• Curt Rastetter, 70 votes

Effective 12 February 2026, your Board of Directors are:

• President – Evan Goss (term expires 31 Dec 2027)
• Vice President – Jim Hayes (term expires 31 Dec 2026)
• Treasurer – Curt Rastetter (term expires 31 Dec 2027)
• Secretary – Vadim Popov (term expires 31 Dec 2026)
• Member at Large – Jeff Spies (term expires 31 Dec 2026)

The recent devastating house fire on Athena in September 2025 claimed the life of one resident and the likely total loss of the structure. Because our Association carries liability insurance on our properties, we are in the process of filing a large claim for the purpose of rebuilding. A settlement of this scale will ultimately result in a future increase to our already large ($112,600) annual insurance premium, an expense share by all members. This event focuses attention on both the fire risks and preventative measures throughout our community. Each owner and resident is urged to assess the risks they may be ignoring such as:

• Overloaded electrical circuits
• Flammable materials stored near an ignition source
• Clogged clothes dryer vents
• Hoarding and stored trash
• Insufficient smoke detector units in the home and garage
• Inoperative fire extinguishers
• Safety service on furnaces
• Serviceable batteries in smoke detectors

During recent community inspections, Board members have observed a trend in the number of townhome residents inappropriately placing personal property, plants, outdoor equipment, supplies and other items on common area landscape bordering the walls and fences of homes.

By Article V of our Covenants, Codes and Restrictions (CC&Rs), the maintenance and management of common area landscape is the exclusive responsibility of the Board. Beginning January 2023, in the interest of preserving the appearance of our community, personal property situated on common area landscape will be removed.

For the legitimate extension of services, benefits, and community security, the Association is requesting that Aegean Heights homeowners implementing new property lease agreements provide a copy to our management company:

TSG Independent Property Management, Inc.
Attn: Mr. George Gustave
27129 Calle Arroyo, Suite 1802
San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675

Although the Association has the right to request this information, it has not been our practice, since our original CC&Rs did not address this subject. However, as our CC&Rs are under revision, we anticipate adding this owner stipulation whenever a property is rented or leased or whenever a new tenant occupies a property. For owners with existing tenants, please consider notifying TSG at 949-481-0555 with your lessee’s name(s) and contact information.

Nearly fifty years old, your Board has approved the updating of our CC&R and By-Laws. The update will reflect current State laws, redefine provisions unique to our Association, and incorporate provisions recommended by our Law Firm, Epsten, APC of San Diego, CA.

The process will take time due to the Board review of all revisions and the eventual approval by the members via secret ballot. Progress on this major undertaking will be reported in future announcements.
