+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.

+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.
