Homeowner: Why weren’t agendas posted properly and who is responsible for posting them?
Dave said he was responsible. He said something about missing email.
Why hasn’t the HOA informed homeowners about violation notices they received from the City?
Scott: Our attorney says that your questions should be routed through your attorney.
Why are you approving landscape proposals outside of Open Meetings?
Scott: Go through your attorney
Are you doing anything regarding the delays in processing homeowner landscape plans?
Scott: “I have the same answer.”
Irrigation is not running on Lot L, is malfunctioning on the slope next to us, and was running in the rain. Are you working on that?
Scott: Same answer. I’m making notes, but no comment.
Why didn’t you inform anyone that the HOA assumed responsibility for Lot L?
Scott: Same answer.
Private secret meetings violate the law and our Governing Documents.
Do you regret dumping volunteers when you first took over the board in the recall?
What’s the status of the proposal to irrigate the property on Graves across from the apartments?
Homeowner: Lives on Ocotillo. Neighbor saw kids building a bonfire near Morella trailhead. Requested more patrols from the Sheriff in person, got documents regarding a neighborhood watch. Offered to help HOA. Park: Requested brush maintenance from City and maintenance on the sign. Did the HOA do anything?
Ford said it isn’t an HOA matter. He hasn’t received requests but would refer them to the City. He mentioned Cecilia Tipton.
Ford said that he understands that Neighborhood Watch is usually done between residents and the gov’t, not the HOA.
Homeowner: He walks every night between 9pm and midnight. His concern, Castilla cul-de-sac look-out spot, & Morella, every night parking, smoking marijuana, drinking. Matter of time before there is an accident. Once a car sped off when he was there and nearly hit another car. Morella has become a parking lot. Why not move the fence to avoid creating a parking lot? At Castilla there is a hedge, but it has a break. Plant hedge to obstruct the view from the street, but not blocking homeowner view.
Dave: Morella fence—Lennar still owns it everything there. Someone should contact them.
Ed: Put removable bollards there to prevent parking.
Chris: There are bollards at the trailhead, so similar at the street would be good. Call Bravo Three 619-xxx-xxxx for non-emergency, call Sheriff for crime. <Phone number redacted. Direct message via Twitter or Facebook if you don’t have it.>
Homeowner says that the Sheriff wants homeowners to call them for illegal activity. Frequently they are drinking alcohol and smoking pot, so he calls the Sheriff approx 2 times per week. He sees them drinking beer and throwing the cans.

Homeowner: Procedure question. Why is this topic opened for comment, when normally homeowners only speak during Homeowner Forum? How will we know when we will have the opportunity to speak on topics?
Ford: State law requires that rule revisions are opened for comment.

They focus on vehicle recognition. Their goal is to identify criminal type behavior and give information to law enforcement.

Then she gave an example where a vehicle plate was provided that allowed law enforcement to pursue it.
