Public Street Maintenance 2022

by

The City of Mission Viejo recently confirmed that our public streets (Appian Way, Olympus Drive, Daphne East, and Daphne West) are scheduled for asphalt top-coating in October-November 2022. Work is scheduled to commence the second week in October and continue through the second week of November.

The City will be mailing a general notice to residents with public street addresses only. A second notice will go out during the first week of October. A street-by-street schedule will be provided as soon as it’s available. Residents are urged to pay close attention to these notices. To prevent towing, all vehicles must be removed from these streets for 24 hours on the dates(s) work is scheduled. An internal notification action will be taken specifically for residents parking on Olympus who may not receive City notices.

Restatement of our Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and By-Laws

by

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.

Townhome Wrought Iron Railings and Back Patio Gates

by

Beginning in early May, work will begin on the treatment and painting of second-floor wrought iron railings on homes with this feature in Tract 7799 (homes on Veronica, Triton, Malia, and Verena). Also beginning in May, all the wrought iron rear patio gates on townhomes will be treated for corrosion, repaired, painted, and in some cases, refabricated. Notices will be posted as work progresses in order for workers to have access to locked gates.

2022 Annual Meeting of the Members and Board Election Results

by

As required by our By-Laws, the annual meeting of the memberships was conducted on 17 February 2022, delayed one week to meet quorum.

The popular votes for nominating Board members to fill two open seats went to Evan Goss, a first-time candidate for the Board, and incumbent Curt Rastetter. Each will serve two-year terms, ending on 31 December 2024. Eighty-six ballots were received representing 172 votes (two votes per member) for a participation rate of 32%.

The IRS Revenue Ruling 70-6-4 regarding the disposition of HOA surplus funds passed overwhelmingly. This vote permits the Board to apply excess funds to next year’s budget in order to reduce potential tax liabilities.
