The Uffens’ HOA Board has contracted with a new property management company, Community Solutions , effective May 1st. All owners should have received a letter from Community Solutions announcing the change. Recent changes within Cirrus properties, including letting go of our manager, Mark, caused our board to examine whether or not Cirrus was going to be able to meet our needs. We felt that we needed to have a more proactive management company, and we believe Community Solutions will be that company!
Community Solutions is in the process of setting up a new web site for us. They will be sending out newsletters to all owners on a regular basis; I’m hoping to have the first edition out before the end of May.
We’re planning on a community spring cleaning/planting get-together that will provide an opportunity for owners and renters to meet each other and to meet our new property managers.
As a board we have tried to be attentive to maintenance and repairs issues in our building while trying to stay within our budget. Over the past winter we have had to repair several roof leaks. We anticipate that we will have to redo the entire roof over a period of several years. Fortunately the design of the roof allows us to do this in sections . We will be getting bids from 3 roofers this spring before we proceed.
We continue to work on the waste removal and recycling challenges. The schedule has been changed to include a pick-up on Saturday to deal with the large volume of garbage in the bins over the weekend, and we have eliminated the pick up on Wednesday for now. We have been exploring the possibility of getting an additional bin to handle recyclable materials.
When the weather patterns stabilize and spring arrives, we will be contracting to have someone wash the exterior windows, with the exception of the deck window which is the responsibility of the home owner.
