E-Bike Safety in Action: Ride Ready Yorba Linda As e-bikes become more popular, the City is taking proactive steps to keep Yorba Linda riders and residents safe. In partnership with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, the City launched Ride Ready Yorba Linda, a campaign that promotes education, safety, accountability, and responsible riding. Together with the City’s e-bike regulations, the campaign helps create a safer community for everyone.
Ride Ready Yorba Linda will appear throughout the community and connect directly with riders and families. In March, City staff and Sheriff’s Deputies visited the Yorba Linda Town Center during peak after-school hours to meet with e-bike riders, encourage safe habits, and address unsafe behavior. Deputies shared important safety reminders, encouraged responsible riding, and reinforced rules that protect both riders and the community.
The campaign also connected with families at the Ready Parents: E-Bike Safety Meeting. Attendees received information about local laws, rules of the road, and e-bike responsibilities. Parents and riders asked questions, heard directly from Deputies, and left with tools to help young riders stay safe and accountable.
To learn more about e-bike safety, local regulations, events, and resources, visit yorbalindaca.gov/e-bikes. Black Gold Storm Drain Improvement Project
The Public Works Department is making progress on the Black Gold Storm Drain Improvement Project to increase storm drain reliability. Workers are preparing the site for the next phase. The golf course will remain open as an 18-hole course during construction, and the project will finish by late summer 2026.
The work replaces part of the storm drain pipe, reinforces surrounding areas, and cleans and repairs the remaining line. After construction, the team will restore affected golf course areas, including paths, greens, lake features, landscaping, irrigation, and electrical systems. Storm Drain Improvements at Lemon Drive and Imperial Highway
The Public Works Department began storm drain improvements this month at the corner of Lemon Drive and Imperial Highway near In-N-Out. Crews will replace a section of storm drain pipe beneath the sidewalk and across Lemon Drive and Imperial Highway. Public Works temporarily relocated the traffic signal to support construction. Crews will complete most work overnight, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., to reduce traffic impacts. Work is expected to be completed by spring 2026. These upgrades will strengthen the storm drain system and help keep the area safer for pedestrians and motorists.
Lakeview Avenue Widening Project Construction is underway on Lakeview Avenue between Bastanchury Road and Oriente Drive to improve traffic flow and safety. The project includes excavation on both sides of the street, utility relocations, and installation of a new sewer mainline. When complete, Lakeview Avenue will have one additional through lane in each direction, plus upgraded curbs and gutters, sidewalks, pavement, retaining walls where needed, and repairs to any impacted driveways or frontage areas. Work is expected to finish by fall 2026.

YLK TA Easter 2026 Happy Easter and good afternoon neighbors.
Instead of a talk-around today at the clubhouse, Chris and I thought we would send a letter out keeping everybody up to date.
We're all pretty excited that the last two plazas to be paved will be completed this month. Replacement will start on April 14th, a Tuesday and be completed by April 17th, Friday. Letters went out already to all concerned residents. Logano Plaza will be started on April 21st, Tuesday and be completed by April 24th Friday. Please be mindful that residents from these plazas will not have use of their parking and will have to disperse through the complex. Please be patient. This completes a long-time project and finally, all of our 12 plazas will have pavers.
The community-wide garage sale is in just 6 weeks. This is an opportunity to clean out your garage and dispose of any unneeded items as well as electronics, old papers, or old clothes. We will make bins available for shredding, for electronics, and for old clothes to provide for donation. The large trash bin will arrive on Friday May 15th and will be picked up on Monday May 18th. The community's garage sale will be Saturday May 16th from 7:00 in the morning until 11:00 AM. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity. This is an annual event and usually a great success.
Slope 1, the West slope, will have its maintenance this month.
The West slope was repaired last year and the fence repair at Cardena Plaza is finally complete.
The main pool exterior light standard has been replaced.
The SB-1572 irrigation redevelopment plan is making progress. Notices will soon be going out on plans for phase one. There will be discussions at the board meeting this next Thursday and at the May Talk Around, Sunday May 10th at 4:00 p.m. A 30% reduction in water usage is our goal for landscaping. This is a state-imposed target. Keep an eye out for announcements and meetings on how we plan to meet this goal.
As mentioned before, the board meeting for April is scheduled this Thursday, April 9th, at 7:00 p.m. in the clubhouse. If you can make it, we hope to see you there.
Respectfully, Dave and Chris.
Good evening neighbors.
We're set to “spring forward” this Saturday night so there will be more daylight on Sunday at 4:00 pm when we gather at the clubhouse to meet for the March Talk Around.
We will preview the plaza pavings, 1572 update, the May community-wide garage sale, and all other concerns you bring along.
All residents are welcome to the Talk Arounds so please invite your neighbors.
Our next board meeting will be on Thursday, March 12th at 7:00 PM. We hope to see you there.
Chris and Dave
Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.
Good afternoon neighbors. Happy February! We have a board meeting for this month tomorrow night, Thursday, February 12, at 7 PM at the clubhouse. The homeowner session will start at 7 PM and we hope to see you there.
Good afternoon neighbors. This Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday and it also coincides with the time we usually have the talk around. Because this is America’s holiday, we are not going to have a talk around. Our next board meeting will be a week from Thursday, February 12th, at 7 o’clock at the clubhouse. We hope to see you there.
Good morning neighbors. We have an early in the month board meeting tonight at the clubhouse at 7 o’clock.
There were no contested seats for the board in this last election so the actions regarding the election tonight will be perfunctory as the board chooses who will perform what duties.
There will be some landscape issues discussed, patio cover maintenance, tree maintenance, as well as finances for the coming year, and spot painting around the complex.
We continue to work on the irrigation challenge, and of course work on the functional issues for members; parking permits, solar panels, architectural changes, etc.
Owners are welcome and encouraged to join us tonight at 7 o’clock at the clubhouse. We look forward to seeing you there.
Dave and Chris

Lots has been said about this law. Here are the facts.
AB 1572
California continues to grapple with the profound effects of climate change, particularly persistent drought conditions and diminishing water resources. In response to these pressing environmental challenges, the state has enacted AB 1572 (October 13th, 2023), a piece of legislation designed to significantly enhance water conservation efforts. This law targets a specific, yet widespread, form of water waste: the irrigation of nonfunctional turf with potable (drinking) water. Why it matters: AB 1572 is a step toward a more water-wise California. By cutting out wasteful water use and making our landscapes more sustainable, the law helps protect our drinking water and prepare for a drier future.
What is the Core Purpose of AB 1572? At its heart, AB 1572 is a proactive measure to safeguard California's vital drinking water supplies. The law introduces a statewide prohibition on the use of potable water for irrigating “nonfunctional turf” in specific settings. Nonfunctional turf is defined as grass that serves no practical purpose for human activity or recreation. This includes, but is not limited to, ornamental grass strips along roadways, expansive lawns in corporate parks, unused patches of grass in front of commercial buildings, and other similar areas that are not regularly used for sports, play, or social gatherings. The rationale behind this ban is straightforward: in a state facing chronic water scarcity, dedicating precious drinking water to maintain purely aesthetic or unused landscapes is deemed an unsustainable and wasteful practice. Understanding the nuances of AB 1572 is crucial for all Californians, even though the primary focus of the ban is on commercial and public properties.
1. The Underlying Issue: Why is This Law Necessary?
California's water supply is under immense pressure due to a combination of factors, chief among them the ongoing impacts of climate change. This manifests as reduced snowpack, earlier snowmelt, and more frequent and severe droughts. In this context, using highly treated and valuable drinking water for decorative or unused grass areas represents a significant inefficiency. The state recognizes that every drop of potable water must be managed judiciously to ensure long-term water security for its residents, agriculture, and industries.
2. Key Provisions of the Law: What Does AB 1572 Mandate? • Prohibition on Potable Water for Nonfunctional Turf: The most significant aspect of AB 1572 is its direct prohibition on the use of drinking water to irrigate nonfunctional turf. This ban applies to a broad range of properties, including commercial, industrial, and many public or community spaces. It is critical to note that this law does not apply to single-family residential properties, though homeowners are still strongly encouraged to adopt water-wise landscaping practices. • Promotion of Climate-Appropriate Landscaping: Beyond the prohibition, the law actively promotes and encourages the transition to “climate-appropriate landscaping.” This refers to the cultivation of plants that are naturally suited to California's arid and semi-arid climate, such as native drought-tolerant species. Such landscaping significantly reduces water demand and often requires less maintenance, contributing to long-term sustainability. • Exclusions and Exemptions: It is equally important to understand what the law does not ban. AB 1572 explicitly allows for the continued watering of “functional grass” — turf areas that serve a legitimate purpose. This includes:
• Parks and public recreational spaces. • Sports fields (e.g., soccer fields, baseball diamonds). • Cemeteries. • Any other areas where people regularly gather, play, or engage in recreational activities. The intent is not to eliminate all green spaces, but to eliminate wasteful irrigation of unused turf. •
3. Phased Implementation: When Will the Law Take Effect?
AB 1572 features a phased implementation schedule to allow property owners and managers sufficient time to adapt and transition their landscapes. This gradual rollout ensures a smoother process and provides opportunities for planning and resource allocation. • January 1, 2027: State and local government properties will be required to cease watering nonfunctional turf with potable water. This initial phase sets an example for public entities. • January 1, 2028: The ban extends to all commercial, industrial, and institutional properties. This broad category includes business parks, shopping centers, office complexes, hospitals, universities, and other non-residential establishments. • January 1, 2029: Common areas within Homeowners Associations (HOAs) and other shared communities will come under the purview of the law. This ensures that communal green spaces within multi-family developments also adhere to the new water conservation standards. • January 1, 2031 (or later): A crucial provision in the law addresses properties located within “disadvantaged communities.” For these areas, the ban on watering nonfunctional turf will only take effect once dedicated funding becomes available to support the transition to water-efficient landscapes. This ensures that the financial burden of compliance does not disproportionately fall on communities with limited resources.
4. Specific Exceptions: Are There Any Loopholes?
While the law is stringent, it does include pragmatic exceptions to ensure public safety, environmental health, and to accommodate specific circumstances: • Tree and Plant Health: Water can still be used to maintain the health and viability of trees and other non-turf plants within landscapes, recognizing their ecological and aesthetic value. • Health and Safety Risks: If ceasing irrigation would pose a direct risk to public health or safety (e.g., dust control, fire prevention in specific circumstances), exemptions may apply. • Hardship Grace Period: The law allows for a “grace period” of up to three additional years for properties facing demonstrated hardship in complying with the regulations. This provides flexibility for unique or challenging transition scenarios. 5. Enforcement and Compliance: Who Oversees the New Regulations? Enforcement of AB 1572 will primarily be handled at the local level by water agencies, cities, or counties. These entities will be responsible for ensuring compliance within their respective jurisdictions. A key compliance mechanism is the requirement for property owners to certify their adherence to the rules every three years, beginning in the 2030–2031 fiscal year. This self-certification process, coupled with potential local oversight, aims to ensure widespread adoption of the new standards.
6. Support and Resources: What Help is Available for Transition?Recognizing that transitioning from traditional turf to water-wise landscapes can involve significant changes, AB 1572 includes provisions for support and resources: • State Funding and Programs: The state is committed to providing financial assistance and establishing programs to support turf replacement initiatives. A particular focus will be on assisting disadvantaged areas and affordable housing developments, ensuring equitable access to resources for compliance. • Information Dissemination: The state will actively promote information and resources related to water conservation and landscape transformation through its established Save Our Water website. This platform will serve as a central hub for guidance, best practices, and available support. • Support for Small and Minority-Owned Businesses: To further facilitate the transition, the state will offer support to small and minority-owned businesses that specialize in landscape design, installation, and maintenance focused on climate-appropriate solutions. This not only aids in compliance but also fosters economic development within the green industry.
Why AB 1572 is Crucial for California's Future: AB 1572 represents a pivotal stride towards cultivating a more water-wise and resilient California. By strategically eliminating wasteful potable water use for nonfunctional landscapes, the law directly contributes to: • Protecting Our Drinking Water: It ensures that a finite and essential resource is prioritized for human consumption and critical needs, rather than being expended on purely ornamental purposes. • Enhancing Water Security: Reducing overall water demand strengthens the state's ability to withstand future droughts and climate variability, building greater resilience into its water infrastructure and management. • Promoting Sustainable Landscapes: The law encourages a fundamental shift in landscaping practices, moving away from thirsty turf towards ecologically sound, climate-appropriate designs that require significantly less water, chemicals, and maintenance. • Preparing for a Drier Future: As climate models predict increasingly dry conditions for California, AB 1572 proactively prepares the state for these realities by embedding water conservation into its legal and environmental framework.
In essence, AB 1572 is more than just a ban; it is a catalyst for a more sustainable, water-efficient, and environmentally conscious future for California. It underscores the collective responsibility to manage precious resources wisely for the benefit of current and future generations.

YLK letter. 7-5-25 Hello neighbors. Hope you had a memorable and enjoyable Fourth.
Please read this note through.
Tomorrow, Sunday, we’re having a driveway talk around at Judy’s driveway, 4:00PM at 4799 Carmonita Lane. Bring a chair and beverage if you plan to attend.
Here’s what’s on the agenda. I get the sense that the Board may be moving close to a decision to begin the Irrigation Project that will start this year and continue through January of 2029. This irrigation project will greatly impact and change the look and landscape of our complex. You might want to be aware of and have input on the changes that are coming. You’ll want to come to the driveway talk and then consider attending Thursday’s meeting.
Remember, Driveway Talks are for ALL residents. Only property owners may attend board meetings.
I am including the financial docs for June. The aforementioned project marks a significant challenge to our finances as we juggle the ongoing needs of roof maintenance, hard scape, landscape, and HOA structures. We’re working to achieve this change in a timely manner and without having to have a property assessment. We will need input.
We’re also discussing the electric panel concerns, the slope reconstruction update, among other concerns.
These are BIG PICTURE issues. We hope you can join us to consider and add your perspective. See you tomorrow.

Hello Neighbors.
At February's meeting the votes were tallied and the results are in.
Lynn Slack received the highest number and was reinstalled as President of the Board.
Akin Odebunmi received the second highest votes and was installed as At Large member.
Paul Nelson and Kirk Bulis tied for third and Paul made the decision to retire after more than two decades of service. Thank you Paul. Kirk continues to serve as Vice President.
Looking ahead to the next 10 days, we will have a financial committee meeting on Sunday at 3:00PM in the clubhouse immediately preceding the March Talk Around, which will start at 4:00 PM. (That is the first day of Daylight Savings so it will be a later sunset. Yahoo.)
Conversations are of a continuing nature. For instance …
The main pool resurfacing … The board voted to move forward and we are currently in the clarifying stage with Alan Smith Pools.
The Slope 1 repair and reconstruction continues. Legal currently has the ball and we are moving ahead in cooperation with the City of Yorba Linda.
The two-plaza-paver-project and concrete project are still in the works.
The trash pickup review conversation continued with reports given from walk throughs and comments by neighbors. We have 12 plazas and each will need their own solution. We will talk more about this at the talk around.
The patio survey has begun and we will talk more about this at the talk around.
Monarch Landscape Consulting gave a proposal and helped us with more perspective. We could use more input on the landscaping of the future here at the Knolls. We will talk more about this at the talk around.
The Community-Wide Garage Sale is scheduled to be held on Saturday, May 17th with the dumpster, shredding, and electronic waste scheduled for May 19th through the 23rd. We could use some help with getting the word out. We will talk more about this at the talk around.
We will talk about speeding, E-bikes, and speed bumps.
And we will have time for your comments.
Everyone is welcome to the 4:00 Sunday meeting. This is the time for renters to hear and be heard.
The board meeting will be Thursday at 7:00PM at the clubhouse. Owners, please join us.
Thanks for helpiing to make this a safe and beautiful community.
Hope to see you soon.
Dave and Chris.
P.S. Financials will go out as soon as they are available.
Hi neighbors.
Tonight’s election starts at 6 and the meeting shortly thereafter. Hope to see you there.
YLKTA 2-5-25 Happy February neighbors.
Chris and I are eagerly awaiting Sunday’s Super Bowl game. We are lining up our dishes and anticipating good football and good entertainment. Oh, and it happens smack dab at the same time we are supposed to have a Talk-Around at the clubhouse!
OK … time for a change of plays, a call from scrimmage. Let’s have the meeting at 2 o’clock and we will make it a short and quick one.
What are items we have to discuss?
- Progress on repair for the slide on slope one.
- Progress on the fall tree trim, and tree removal.
- Progress on the pool resurfacing.
- Progress on the trash truck pick up process.
- Board election results at the next quorum, which we will have.
- Progress on the patio survey.
- Discussion on priority of pavers for Marino and Almara plazas.
And hopefully you will get a chance to look over the financials from December and January that I am including in this email.
We will keep it short and sweet.
The board meeting is on February 13th at 7:00 at the clubhouse. (I am guessing the election will be at 6:00PM) We hope to see you there.
Be well. Dave and Chris
01-13-2025 Good morning neighbors.
IMPORTANT. PLEASE READ.
First off, we had an irrigation break on slope 1 by the sidewalk leading to the Linear Park. The broken pipe emitted gallons and gallons of water down the slope for hours before it was shut off, causing a rupture and breakage of our fence along that part of the slope.
Irrigation water is shut off. I am not sure what lines are affected. If you need something watered, do so by hand using your hose.
Board Treasurer Raghu Khomidi and I met with YL City Parks and Rec Director Rick Yee this morning to discuss the way forward. The city is concerned that the slope not have any more erosion and has directed our HOA to lay tarps down. They also have informed us they do not have the resources needed to direct the engineering side of the slope restoration and gave us the green light for the go ahead to begin work ASAP.
The HOA is in contact with a geologist to come and inspect our slope. He has done a previous study and is versed in our situation.
RGS is coming out Tuesday morning to inpsect and discuss repair of the broken line.
The Board and management team are in discussion today on our path forward.
Will keep you advised.
Regarding last Thursday's meeting, we fell well short of the 50% vote quorum requirement but more that met the next quorum requirement so the election will be held at the February meeting, votes counted, and 2025 board determined. Thanks for getting your votes in.
The YLKTA group and the board discussed concrete repair last week and as part of this discussion, agreed to make an effort to place trash cans in more central collection areas. Members fanned out this morning to collect cans away from the plazas and also group cans on one side of the street if possible, to streamline collection and lessen the load of trash trucks running back and forth on the concrete.
We will continue to make this effort and will also be sending out a survey, get feedback, amend the rules on trash collection and use markers to designate trash container placement.
Winds continue. Keep a watchful eye.
More later.
Dave and Chris
Hello Neighbors!! It is ELECTION DAY!!!!!!!!! Be sure your ballots are at the clubhouse tonight between the 6 and 7 o'clock hour. We want to make quorum tonight!
The regular board meeting begins immediately afterward. We have a doozey of an agenda: Slope; Irrigation: Concrete; Pools; Trash Collection Mitigation … Join us for the discussion.
But foremost, get your ballot in. 6:00 PM | 6:00 PM | 6:00 PM | 6:00 PM | 6:00 PM | 6:00 PM |
Thank you.
Dave and Chris
An irrigation line burst over by the slope on the Gun Road Park area. Thankfully the neighbor got help quickly enough that we were able to divert the water until the fire department was able to turn off the water. Looks like we are going to have to reassess supporting that slope. Can't impress enough how important it is that when you see something, say something so that we can get to it right away. Thanks to all who helped us head off this problem.
Don't forget that your ballots are due at tomorrow's meeting at 6:00. We would like to get a full quorum first time around.
Also remember, tonight is decal sticker night for parking if you have not already taken care of that. The event will start at 6:00 p.m. in front of the main pool. Be sure to bring your car that needs a sticker and all your paperwork.
Thanks again.
Good morning neighbors.
The decal distribution came off well yesterday. By some estimates, 80% or more of the decals were updated. The old decals will be good till the last day of February. The next day for decal updates is this Wednesday evening at 6:00 PM at the main pool.
We also received more resident email addresses to add to our growing list, and another person has signed up to help out on one of our committees. So, a good day all in all. Many thanks to board members Lynn, Raghu, and Tom for working together with the OC Patrol folks to help this process through.
We have a TALK AROUND today at 4:00PM in the clubhouse, and an election and board meeting at 6:00 PM on Thursday. If you have not already done so, please fill out your ballot and bring it to the drop off at the meeting on Thursday.
Be well.
Dave and Chris.
Much to pass on …
Happy New Year neighbors. I am attaching the Parking Decal document, last month's concrete report, the YLK map, the Quick Info Sheet, and including the agenda for next Thursday's meeting. The Financials are not yet available.
We have a YLK Talk-Around this Sunday at the clubhouse at 4:00PM. Hope to see you there. The January election and board meeting is next Thursday, January 9th, at 6:00 PM at the clubhouse. If you have not already sent in your election ballot, please bring it along to the meeting.
We just finished filling out the paperwork for our Parking Decal Request happening this Saturday, 01/04 at 10:00 AM and running till NOON and then once again on Wednesday from 6:00 PM till 9:00 PM. Here again is the information that went out on an email blast from Powerstone. - - - - - - - BI-ANNUAL PARKING AUDIT Dear Homeowners,
In compliance with the community Parking Rules and Regulations, an audit will be held in January of 2025.
*If you have no need for outside parking of a vehicle overnight, you may disregard the remainder of this notice.
New parking stickers with different colors will be issued to all residents. The current black and blue stickers will become invalid starting March 1, 2025.
New parking stickers will be issued on the following dates/times in front of the clubhouse:
Saturday, January 4th –10 AM to 1 PM Wednesday, January 8th – 6 PM to 9 PM Saturday, January 25th – 10 AM to 1 PM Wednesday, January 29th – 6 PM to 9 PM
Whether you currently have stickers or not, you must re-apply for new stickers on one of the above days, if you need outside parking for one of your vehicles overnight (this includes your driveway or street parking). OC Patrol will apply the stickers onto your vehicle the day that you choose to come. There will be no fee if you qualify and receive the stickers on the above dates.
All residents applying for stickers must submit a complete Parking Decal Application and bring copies of the vehicles’ registrations (all vehicles, not just the one that needs stickers), and drivers’ licenses. Note that these documents must show your home address in Yorba Linda Knolls.
(I am attaching the Parking Decal Request Form.pdf to this email)
The following rules apply:
No more than two stickers will be provided to any residence. The $40.00 processing fee will be waived, if the resident qualifies and receives a parking permit on one of the above dates. Residents who are applying for stickers and cannot park two vehicles in their garage and/or carport, will require a garage inspection and/or Board approval first.
The reason for this audit is to ensure residents are using their garages and carports for parking first and foremost, and to ensure there are still enough outside spaces in the community for our guests.
Please address any questions to our Community Manager, Jodi Wood, at jwood@powerstonepm.com. A hard copy of this notice will also be mailed to you. Please ensure you are sharing all of this information with your tenants.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation!

Hello neighbors.
Today is Thursday, November 14th.
Tonight is a board meeting at 7:00 PM. Usually this is the last meeting of the calendar year. Tonight's discussion of import will be the adoption of the 2025 budget and the election for three board seats for the upcoming year. We hope you will be able to attend.
TONIGHT. 7:00PM. Clubhouse
The community is hosting our annual holiday dinner at the clubhouse on Sunday, December 8th at 5:00 PM. ALL are welcome. Bring a gift for one of our two adopted families and some dish to share. More details to follow.
One of our neighbors is being a bad actor and dumping trash on our streets for the association to discard. The neighbor lives in the Logana/Cardena area and the items include derelict machines (compressor and power washer), a mattress, and a bookcase. This costs all of us for the disposal. If you see something or know something or your RING or video captures something, please let a board or committee member or Powerstone know.
Thanks for picking up after your pets and keeping your vehicle speed in check on our narrow streets.
Hope to see you tonight.
Dave and Chris
Hello neighbors.
A quick reminder that today at 4:00 PM is a Talk-Around in the clubhouse in advance of the board meeting on Thursday, the last of this calendar year.
Budget issues, the board election (four candidates for three seats), fall tree trimming, ideas on how to thwart neighbors dumping large items on the streets, and other concerns will be on the agenda of things to discuss.
We try to keep it to an hour. Please join us if you can.
Dave and Chris
Hello neighbors. Our last Talk-Around and Board Meeting for the calendar year 2024 is coming up this Sunday and next Thursday respectively.
The Budget Comm. and board met yesterday and we have the budget for next year. It will be discussed Sunday and voted on by the board next Thursday.
RGS will be spraying for weed control today and tomorrow throughout the complex, wind permitting.
Great Scott the arbor company should be here starting November 21st to complete the fall trimming.
The election is coming up and as I understand it, we have four people running for three seats, and hopefully the candidates will be at the TA to present their cases.
So, please join us at the clubhouse on SUNDAY, November 10th at 4:00 PM for the talk around, and then on Thursday, November 14th, at 7:00 PM for the year's last board meeting. Bring any questions and concerns you might have.
We hope to see you there.
Dave and Chris.
10/30/2024 What's happening?
Well somebody in the Logana area is dumping machines and a mattress on the curbs for others to dispose of. If you have seen the bad actor neighbor do this, please say something to a committee or board member.
The finance committee is working with the board on the budget for the year 2025. If you have concerns or comments, now would be the time to speak up and the November meeting would be the meeting to attend and stay and listen with sharp ears.
We have a greater number of children living in the complex and Thursday night (Halloween) they will be walking around in their costumes trick or treating. PLEASE drive with care (as you would every day, right?). Keep your eyes open and take care with pedestrians.
Thursday is also the deadline for all applications to people who would like to run for the board for next year. Hopefully you have been thinking about it and have submitted your paperwork. For those thinking of helping out in other ways, we have the following standing committees and can always use a helping hand: Landscape, Arbor, Finance, and Architecture.
Our annual winter holiday clubhouse celebration is scheduled for Sunday, December 8th at 5:00PM. Put it on your calendar and we hope you and your family will join us for a joyful and giving time.
Thanks to all pet owners for picking up after your furbies; the complex is looking much better.
Remember, if you see something, say something.
Be well, do good work, and keep in touch. Dave and Chris.
10/05/2025 Hello neighbors. You remember that last month we chose not to meet because of the over 100 degree heat. Well, tomorrow is going to be warm again, but we only have two more meetings left and we have much to discuss, so we will get into the clubhouse by two and crank up the AC. We'll meet for the Talk Around at four. Bring a treat to share, or a libation, or both!
Here's what we are discussing:
Garage inspections and parking stickers. The board would like a reset for all parking stickers for 2025. Let's discuss.
Board elections are coming in January. There are three seats up for election for this year. Are you interested in throwing your hat in the ring? Let's discuss.
What is happening with YLK Irrigation redevelopment (AB 1668 and SB 606)? Here is a bulletin. https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:7500895b-ff3d-41e6-922b-2e9cefe135f1 California State Water Resources Control Board Adopts Permanent Water Conservation Regulations In the past decade, California has endured two multi-year droughts that have led to temporary restrictions on water use. The temporary restrictions were lifted when drought conditions eased. In an effort to ensure sufficient water supplies for future dry periods, the California Legislature passed two bills (AB 1668 and SB 606) in 2018 which mandate water conservation measures on a permanent basis.
The legislation laid out a new long-term water use framework for urban water suppliers in California and called for the California State Water Resources Control Board (the “SWRCB”) to adopt implementing regulations for the following: • Indoor residential water use; • Outdoor residential water use; • Landscape irrigation; and • Water loss.
On July 3, 2024, the SWRCB adopted the required implementing regulations. Although the regulations go into effect on January 1, 2025, no water use reductions will be enforced until 2027. The regulations do not directly restrict water use by individuals or businesses and they do not apply to suppliers of irrigation (i.e., non-potable) water, suppliers with fewer than 3,000 connections or those that supply less than 3,000 acre-feet of water per year.
The regulations will apply to approximately 405 urban water suppliers (including cities, water districts and private water companies) that supply approximately 95% of California’s population with potable water. However, many of these suppliers are already carrying out water conservation efforts that meet the regulatory standards. For suppliers whose conservation efforts will need to be ramped up, the regulations do not establish a one-size-fits-all approach.
Instead, water conservation thresholds for each supplier will be customized based on factors such as local climate and precipitation, local land uses (with higher thresholds for newly built residential areas and land used for livestock or agriculture), the level of recycled water deliveries, and historical water use. In recognition that it may be more difficult and more costly for lower-income areas to meet the standards, median household income is also taken into account.
Information about each affected supplier’s service area characteristics can be found here. Suppliers must establish annual water budgets for their customers’ indoor residential, outdoor residential and landscape irrigation uses as well as limits on water losses, which will be combined to establish a Water Use Objective (the “WUO”).
The WUO includes allowances for certain variances and temporary adjustments, such as the use of water in cooling centers during periods of extreme heat. negative impacts to wastewater collection and treatment, and bonuses for potable reuse efforts. In lieu of water budgets for landscape irrigation, suppliers can adopt alternative measures such as installing dedicated irrigation meters or providing rebates to replace inefficient irrigation fixtures, replace turf or install green infrastructure (e.g., swales or rain gardens).
The WUO will be met even if individual components in the formula exceed their budgeted use limits in a given year. For example, if indoor residential water use by a supplier’s customers exceeds the budgeted amount, the WUO will still be met if the sum of water use in all categories does not exceed the total WUO budget. Suppliers will be presumed to be in compliance with the regulations if their customers’ water use in 2040 does not exceed 70% of their water use in 2026.
The regulations require suppliers to reduce their water budgets no less frequently than during each five-year period through 2040. The regulations also require each urban water supplier to provide to the SWRCB in a machine-readable format, by January 1 of each year, commencing January 1, 2025: (i) its WUO; and (ii) a report detailing actual water use among the various user categories for the prior year. Fines for non-compliance with the regulations can reach as much as $10,000 per day. The expectation is that compliance with the regulations will be more cumbersome for smaller urban water suppliers in lower-income areas, as many larger suppliers have already adopted water budge-based rates. Environmental groups have criticized the regulations as requiring too little conservation in the near term, while water industry groups have called for financial support from the SWRCB or other state agencies to ensure that the standards can be met without undue hardship to retail customers.
Let's discuss.
Plus we want to discuss your concerns and/or observations and past board actions.
I am including the agenda, the September financials, a map, and the Kwik-sheet.

I enclose the financials, my notes for this evening, and the agenda. (You have to be on the mailing list)
Hello neighbors. Power has gone out in some of our homes. HOA President Lynn Slack has opened the clubhouse and has the air conditioning going if anyone needs to find relief from the heat. It's 6:14 PM on Sunday.
Hello neighbors.
It's a bit warm. Well OK, it is hot. Very hot. Sunday looks to be 106 degrees and it reaches its peak at the time we are slated to meet. I am not overly confident in the Clubhouse air conditioning's ability to stay up with this abnormal heat. We have not skipped a month's meeting since we started these meetings but I think we may skip this one.
We do have a board meeting on THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2024

Good afternoon neighbors! Hope you’re having fun in the last days of summer. Just a reminder that we have a board meeting tonight at 7 o’clock at the clubhouse. We hope to see you there.
Hello neighbors! Happy summer! 🌞 As I mentioned last week, the board meeting has been put off till this next Wednesday. We are meeting at the clubhouse tomorrow, Sunday the 11th, at 4:00. We hope to see you there. I am attaching the agenda and the minutes. We will talk about the pools and the necessary upkeep and refurbishing and timeline. Hope you are having a great Saturday and would love to see you tomorrow, Sunday, at 4:00 pm. Bring your own beverage. 😉
Dave and Chris.
Hello neighbors.
The board meeting has been postponed until 8/14 - WEDNESDAY at 7:00 PM. That means we will have the Talk Around not tomorrow, but next Sunday, 8/11 at 4:00 in the clubhouse. (Those I saw and talked to this morning on my walk-around - please take note.)
In the email, I sent along the updated insurance letter. Email me at aztecdave@gmail.com if you would like to receive the notices.
I also sent along the Architecture Request document in case anyone needs it.
Benicia cleaned up well enough.
RGS is set for a walk around this Tuesday at 9:30 … if you have any requests.
See you a week from Sunday at the clubhouse … 4:00PM.
Dave and Chris
Dave Tennant Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.
What I would hope we could achieve in our government is this: the rule of just law, credible monetary regimes, transparent fiscal systems, and incorruptible bureaucracies.
A huge shout out and a big thank you to the volunteer crew who met at the clubhouse on Wednesday evening to clean all of the chairs. Seven of us going together made quick work of the project. Thank you to President Lynn for providing the steam cleaners and to treasurer Raghu,, Dave and Jenny, Judy, and Chris and Dave. Volunteerism such as this helps to make a great community even greater.
Hello neighbors! We have a Board meeting tonight at 7:00 PM at the clubhouse. We're talking about auto violations, inconsistent parking enforcement, vandalism at the main pool, missing signs, wrapping up the asphalt project, and other concerns. Join us, won't you?
YLKTA 7-6-24 Good afternoon neighbors!
Happy 4th of July weekend. I have been in so much reverie that I forgot to get a letter out. Please forgive the short notice.
We will have a talk around meeting tomorrow at the clubhouse at 4:00 p.m. Please bring refreshments. This is your time to come and share your concerns, observations, suggestions, etc. If you have a new neighbor, encourage them to attend and by all means, please give them a copy of the quick sheet.
Our next board meeting is this Thursday at 7:00. That's July 11th at 7:00 at the clubhouse and we hope to see you there as well.
Respectfully, Dave and Chris.
Hello neighbors! Just a reminder that tonight at 7:00 is a board meeting at the clubhouse. Hope to see
Hello neighbors. Just a reminder; TODAY is a TALK-AROUND. We will be in the Clubhouse. Bring libations to share.
ALL residents are invited. This is a gathering where anyone can contribute to a longer discussion of life here at the Knolls. Time constraints prohibit longer talks at Board meetings so here is the place to “air it out”.
The pools are the current issue. It's a good idea that we talk about them this Sunday at the talk around. It is of course my understanding that the board has the ultimate say in that infrastructure which belongs to the non-profit organization.
Both have been fixed and are ready to use.
The pump houses in both pools need major repairs and in fact the Main Pool needs a redesign to come up to code.
Come prepared with questions, comments, and concerns to the talk-around at the clubhouse TODAY, June 9th at 4:00 p.m. Bring some libation to share.
We will also update on our asphalt situation, the South and West slope, and tree trimming this coming week.
We hope to see you at the clubhouse at the main pool on Sunday the 9th at 4:00 p.m. Bring a neighbor.
Good afternoon neighbors. Just want to remind all of us that there is a meeting at 7:00 on Tuesday at the clubhouse to discuss parking solutions for the upcoming asphalt ceiling, this Wednesday Thursday and friday. The no drive time period Is 24 hours. The trash people should be here on Tuesday so that should not be a problem. RGS will be here hopefully Tuesday so that should not be a problem. Pylusd bus system has been contacted several times and hopefully those with students have made arrangements so that the buses can pick them up somewhere other than inside the complex. Please be thinking about this. It is coming up this wednesday, thursday, and Friday. Once again, if you can make the meeting on Tuesday, that would be helpful.
Hello neighbors. Next week is the final phase of the asphalt project. YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION.
The north end of the complex will be closed on Wednesday from 7:00AM to 7:00AM Thursday - a FULL 24 hours. There will be no driving on the roads and cars WILL BE TOWED. Thursday is the middle section, and Friday is the southern section. Look for the flyers being handed out this week. Call Powerstone for any questions you might have. Here is the email blast sent out by Powerstone.
Important YLK Asphalt Information
Dear homeowners, the final phase of the community asphalt project for sealing and striping, will commence next week, Wednesday, May 29th through Friday May 31st. Please reference the below link to the site map which shows the sections of the community that will be worked on each day.
https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:2865eb92-e301-42be-9de-ca83077b3624
Note, each phase will close the roadways from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. the next morning, a full 24-hour closure.
The board welcomes all residents to join them on Tuesday, May 28th, at the clubhouse at 7:00 p.m., to have a discussion on what this will entail for parking your vehicles during these three days and nights.
The board has some ideas in mind that they'd like to share with everyone and we are all open to suggestions. The hope is to come together in figuring out a plan that will work best, making this as smooth an operation as possible. We understand this work will inconvenience many and we appreciate everyone's cooperation. We are almost to the finish line!
Sincerely, Yorba Linda Knolls Country Townhomes Board of Directors.
Hello neighbors! Do you have your items for sale ready for Saturday's community-wide garage sale? We start at 7:00 a.m. Looking forward to it!
Good morning neighbors! Today is Wednesday and normally you would not think there is a board meeting, but there is! Tonight at 7:00, the board meets to assign officers and cover the agenda I sent out in the email. If you did not receive the email, please send me a message at Aztecdave@gmail.com so I can get you on this list and you can receive other important information. Again, the board meeting for this month is TONIGHT. 7:00 at the clubhouse. We hope to see you there.
Hello neighbors.
Sunday is Cinco de Mayo so for our Yorba Linda Knolls talk around at the clubhouse at 4:00, Chris and I have decided to bring our blender, a couple of bags of ice, some margarita mix, and some chips and salsa. BYOT. 😉
Our board meeting this month is on Wednesday at 7:00 and we will be previewing the agenda for that meeting as well as talking about the asphalt sealing project that happens at the end of the month.
We hope to see you there! Again, Sunday, 4:00, at the clubhouse.

Comments on the April 11, 2024 YLK Board Meeting
Hello neighbors. We had a full board complement plus PSPM exec Jodi in attendance. There were somewhere in the neighborhood of between 15 and 20 homeowners in attendance.
• The homeowner session was full of members with questions, concerns, observations, etc. The YLK-TA group had the previous Sunday decided to propose a Garage Sale for Saturday May 18, 2024 from the hours of 7:00AM to 1:00 PM. A Dumpster, shredding bins, and electronics waste bins will also be provided. There will be follow up this week on progress for that event. Homeowners reminded of the need for replacement of bike and pet signs and for north pool Pump House vents that need replacement. Another member made note that a significant portion of the North Pool fencing is rotted at the base and is a safety issue.
• It was noted that the park gate is a wonderful addition but still does not close completely.
• Also noted were the Fireplugs in disrepair, one at at 4710 Carmonita, and one on Serente. This is also a public safety issue.
• The west slope clean-up is slated for late May and the board will authorize this at the May Board meeting.
• The Finance Committee is looking ahead after the completion of the asphalt project to addressing the severe concrete cracking at Serente Plaza, Cardena Plaza, and a few other spots.
• Members brought up the need for two or three more “5 MPH” signs along Carmonita.
• Another member brought up the need for proactive planning by use of a calendar for members month by month.
The agenda consisted of: • … approving the minutes and financials, discussing parking permit requests, reviewing landscape proposals, (the largest one being a sprinkler controller replacement over on Serente), and some general business.
• There will be an emergency shut-off button installed at the North Pool Jacuzzi and repair to the pump machines.
• Two additional Doggie Bag Stations will be installed, one between Cardena and Logana and one off Lorca.
• The Clubhouse will receive seasonal deep cleaning and a committee has volunteered to save some money and clean Clubhouse chairs in house. • See the calendar and be on the lookout to updates for the Asphalt project. The dates at May 29, 30, and 31.
• Keep an eye peeled. The next board meeting may be on a WEDNESDAY, MAY 8th. We’ll keep you posted. Any questions? Follow the YLKTA Facebook page or contact Dave (aztecdave@gmail.com) or Chris (chriskuks@aol.com). Be well; do good work, and keep in touch. Dave and Chris
Just a quick reminder that we are having a talk around at the clubhouse today at 4:00 p.m. bring your references for your favorite contractors to share with other neighbors. Thanks a bunch and hope to see you there.
Friday, April 5th. Good morning neighbors! Hope you are staying dry and more importantly that your roofs are staying dry. We have a talk around this Sunday at 4:00 p.m. in the clubhouse. We will talk about the crack fill happening on Tuesday and Wednesday.
I also had the idea that we should have a share around of your favorite contractor, someone who has done work for your house and you were very pleased. Bring that information to share. I've got my business card wallet ready to go.
Bring along also your questions and comments and we hope to see you there. -Dave
If you have any questions, contact Dave at aztecdave@gmail.com or Chris at chriskuks@aol.com or chrissykuks@gmail.com
