This year’s Annual meeting was a success! Thank you for successfully submitting your votes which enabled us to reach quorum. Our thanks also go out to the many owners that came to meeting and participated in the open discussions.

The meeting results follow:

The IRS Revenue Ruling 70-604 passed by a majority.

Congratulations to the following members who were elected to serve a two (2) year term on the Board of Directors:

• Barbara Smith
• Mary Toomey
• T.Satyanarayana Satya

Congratulations to the winners of the door prizes!

As a reminder, Board Meetings are normally held on the 3rd Thursday of the month, and the agenda is posted in the clubhouse window at least 4 days prior to the meeting. We hope to see you there.

If you haven’t been to the clubhouse lately, you need to stop by and see how the work is progressing. The new paint color scheme designed to complement the newly installed flooring materials are in place and give the clubhouse a fresh look and feel. New tables and chairs are being ordered along with some decorations and art for the walls.  The exercise room now sports a weight machine and a new stationary bike. We hope you like it!

Update: small solar pathway lights have been placed in the darker areas of the paths.

Some of the pathway lighting is out around the grounds. Electricians are working to diagnose and repair the issue. While that work is ongoing, temporary lighting has been ordered and should be installed very soon.

A signed copy of the following letter was sent to the Sunnyvale City Council prior to the Planning Commission Hearing on Monday, June 26 regarding the proposed apartment building at 1008 E. El Camino Real / 1314-1320 Poplar Ave.

While the Board did not want to take an official position on the development, we wanted to voice concerns about the general impact to our community.

Ever want to know who’s responsible for patio fence repairs or garage door replacement?

Based on the Camino del Prado CC&Rs and legal advice, the Board has created a “cheat sheet” for repair and maintenance responsibilities throughout the community. Check it out on the Repairs & Maintenance page.

There will be door prizes for those in attendance, so we hope to see you there!

Many homeowners have done the requested trimming, and we thank you. For those of you that have not yet done it, you can expect a warning letter to be followed by hearing letter and fines, if required. We hope we don’t have to do that, but the trimming must be completed so the community can be painted.

The HOA is preparing to paint the buildings, so all trees and bushes must have enough space for the painter to get in there and paint. Tree branches should be trimmed 2 to 3 feet away from the buildings, and bushes should never be allowed to grow directly on the stucco or siding. If you have ever pulled a vine off a stucco wall, you know the scar that is left by the roots which dig into the walls. Thank you in advance for being proactive and getting the trimming done as soon as possible.
