Carolyn and I feel very fortunate our first winter in California brought us directly to our new home at ORPS. We much prefer this to Florida. We drive home through a golf course, see the flowers, look up through the palm trees, and see snow on the mountain. Wow! Our first season renting at ORPS got off to a bad start when our bikes were stolen. Becoming owners in 2017, I joined the Safety and Security Committee, was elected Vice Chair, and then Chair. In 2019, I was elected to the Board and have served as Treasurer, Vice President, and Chair of the A&A Committee. My three years on the Board have seen important accomplishments, such as hiring of our new General Manager, the purchase of all new laundry machines, greatly improved maintenance services, and steady growth in our bar, food, and entertainment offerings. Ongoing projects include a dog park and asphalt repairs. Each of us as owners will have an opportunity to consider and decide on the recommendations from our Strategic Plan consultants. As a lawyer, I respect the limitations on the powers of our elected Board of Directors. Owners have the right to vote on any new capital investment projects which cost more than 5% of our operating budget (about $260,000). Likewise, a majority vote of the owners can overturn new rules and regulations created by the Board. All of the Board’s decisions must be made in public. Owners deserve an opportunity to attend meetings and comment on pending issues. Transparency and owner participation are vital. I will continue to argue against and vote no on proposals that do not benefit the owners. Our HOA is financially strong. Careful oversight will maintain that strength. I like to celebrate our successes, learn from any mistakes, and work diligently toward improvements, big and small. Regards, Charlie Leahy Lot 721 charles.leahy@sbcglobal.net
