The spa heater has been fixed, and a new pool heater has been installed! Please reserve your usage in advance. Enjoy safely!
The spa is heated to approximately 100-102℉ and the pool is heated to approximately 80-85℉. Please note that both heaters are turned off after hours, so the temperature may be lower at some times.
The Board needs you to send in your vote for the new roofs today!
Have a question or concern about the vote? Email us at help@caminodelprado.org.
Not voting is effectively a vote for a dues increase.
If we don’t get enough votes then we will have to raise dues to get the funds, and defer the project until we have enough funding. The Board would prefer to secure funding now, and begin replacing our very old and fragile roofs as soon as possible.
To everyone that has already voted, thank you.

We need volunteers to join the Board! If you are interested in helping steer projects like roofing, keeping dues low, and more, now is the time to join. Membership can start with as little as a few hours a month. If you are interested, please reach out to help@caminodelprado.org. (I’m also happy to answer any questions about what Board membership entails.)
Due to waning usage, we will be turning off the heat to the hot tub at the end of January – this is your last weekend to use the hot tub before it’s turned back on in the Spring. Be sure to reserve your time. The heat is on 1pm to 10pm (note: it usually takes an hour or two to get up to temperature).
The HOA board will be meeting with roofing companies on the 26th and 27th at 6:30. If you have questions for the roofers please send them to help@caminodelprado.org in advance.

Soon all homeowners will receive a letter in the mail asking you to vote on how to fund our upcoming roof replacement. It is very important that you fill out and return your ballot on this topic so that the Board can properly plan for this upcoming project.
By 2023 we need to begin replacing our roofs. Our current roofs are old and leaking more and more every year, and they are made of a material that costs extra to insure. The HOA reserve study estimates $859,500 to replacing the roofs and we have been saving up so we can afford in the next few years. Unfortunately, we recently received a new estimate at $1,435,560. That’s a $576,060 difference.
The Board would prefer to tackle this as a special assessment of $6600/unit because that allows us to keep the regular dues low. (Members should still expect an annual dues increase of 5-10% in order to keep up with rising costs as our homes get older and the area gets more expensive.)
In order to give everyone ample time to prepare, this special assessment would be due January 31st, 2022.
However, if a special assessment is not approved by the membership then HOA dues can also be increased by 20% each year to make up the deficiency in funds. (This could mean $522/mo in 2021, $626/mo in 2022, $751/mo in 2023, $902/mo in 2024).
If you have any questions, please join a Board meeting online or by phone, or email help@caminodelprado.org. We need to hear the votes of as many people as possible on this topic.
