+Good Afternoon Neighbors.
+We've got quite a week ahead of us here at the Knolls.
+Mothers' Day is Sunday so we moved the talk-around up a day and will be at Judy's driveway (4799 Carmonita Lane) at 4:00PM tomorrow, Saturday. It's projected to be pretty warm so bring a cool beverage.
+The May meeting of the board is Thursday at 7:00PM and because of construction and the collection boxes, we're asking people to enter through the side kitchen entrance.
+The community dumpster will be delivered Friday the 16th.
+The community-wide garage sale will be held from 7:00AM to 11:00AM Saturday, May 17th.
+Monday will be the last full day for the dumpster; it will be picked up on Tuesday, September 20th.
+I am including the agenda and financials for April in the emailing. (Not on the list? Email me.)
+Hope this message finds you and yours well and we'll 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.

+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

+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

+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!
+Sincerely,
+Board of Directors Yorba Linda Knolls Townhomes
