Maintenance Report

Ed Pedroncelli, Maintenance Services Supervisor

The role of maintenance service is to maintain and enhance the quality of the Homeowners Association’s common areas, via the management of required repairs and preventative maintenance. Included in this duty is enforcement of rules and covenants, support of initiatives, as well as the management of projects and capital improvements.

It is important to understand the process of how projects are identified, funded, and who determines when they are completed. All projects are determined by a community committee, such as Facilities, Architectural, Traffic, Greenbelt, etc., who make recommendations to the Board of Directors for review and final approval. Once a project is approved, the BoD provides direction to the HOA’s contracted management team.

Please note, the HOA’s BoD may consider staff and members’ input, however, it is the Board that has the legal authority to make maintenance decisions related to the common areas. There are many reasons why members do not legally vote on common area repair decisions. Members are not fiduciaries to one another or to the HOA. Members elect the BoD to handle the day-to-day business of the Association/Corporation. As such, the BoD votes on business matters for the HOA. Members do not vote on these types of items.

Landscape Notes

Continued from page 2 is done weekly from April to October and every other week from October to April. HOA plant maintenance in the foundations is every six weeks from April to October and every eight weeks from October to April. Trees are pruned by two contractors on separate schedules per contract, under 25 feet and over 25 feet tall. The contractors work section by section to complete the pruning of all of the trees. Not all trees are pruned annually.
