Camino del Prado

Please note that the pool and spa are tentatively scheduled for resurfacing this March. The schedule may change due to weather, or if the resurfacing company is available earlier.

You should have received information from our new accounting team at HOA Accounting Services about setting up dues collection. If you have not received an invoice please email help@caminodelprado.org.

When we switched over our management services to The Masters Group we also changed accounting firms to HOA Accounting Services (from BK Lynch). We were hoping that this wouldn’t require setting up dues collection yet again, but unfortunately this is not the case. We understand this is a confusing situation so we will be forgiving late fees for December dues so people can figure out their options.

(Apologies to everyone, it’s taken a little bit to figure this all out.)

There are now four different ways you can pay:

1. Direct Debit: Setting up this method will ensure that you are always up to date on all HOA payments (dues or otherwise). Payments will automatically be withdrawn from your bank account. There is no fee for this. See the instructions in your monthly invoice (involves sending a voided check to HOA Accounting Services).

2. Monthly check: you will receive a monthly invoice and can send in a check each month. There is no fee for this. See the instructions in your monthly invoice.

3. Online via PayLease (one time or reoccurring): PayLease can accept bank transfers, credit and debit cards. However, all have a fee.

4. Online via Alliance Bank (one time or reoccurring): You can set up an account with Alliance Bank to pay your dues from your bank account. There is no fee for this. If you previously had an account with Alliance Bank to pay your Camino del Prado dues, your account will still work but deductions will have stopped – you must set up the account information for your property using the new Management Company ID (7533), Association ID (680), and Unit Account Number (see your invoice).

(If you accidentally pay your dues twice by one or more methods, don’t worry. The overpayment will count towards future dues or can be refunded upon request.)

Update: If you prepaid any dues before the accounting switchover this should carry over to the new accounting team. You can check you account balance by signing up for an account at https://hoa-accounting.com/members.html, by calling (888) 854-9444 option 1, or emailing service@hoa-accounting.com with your property address or your HOA account number in the subject line. Please let us know if you find you prepaid dues haven’t carried over and we will help you resolve the problem.

The strong rain and winds of the past few weeks managed to break one of the main spa trellis post. The heavy structure was leaning toward the pool fence and ready to fall apart anytime.

The structure was very old and has been eaten by termite over time which also contributed to the weakening of the structure.

To avoid physical damage to the surrounding fence and spa and more importantly to prevent any harm/accident or injury, the structure has been taken down and removed.

Once the weather allows it, we will look into rebuilding it.

Thank you for your understanding.

Rupa Pal has graciously volunteered to be our new treasurer. The Board is excited to have her on board (pun intended ?). From Rupa:

Hello! My name is Rupa Pal and I have been a resident of this community for over 10 years. I am very excited to be a part of the Board and take an active participation in making this a great place for us. I look forward to your support and cooperation. Thank you.

A new copy of the Rules & Regulations has been posted to the Forms and Documents page. Changes:

• Vehicles parked in the common area parking must have current registration, license plates, and be in an operable condition or they will be subject to tow.
• Vehicles that are not moved for 30 days will be subject to tow.
• The fee to rent the clubhouse for the first 5 hours is $75 and a full day rental will be $100, in advance.

The pool tables in the clubhouse have gotten a quick makeover with new covers and lights. (Thanks to Mehmet who drove these updates.)

As a reminder, we don’t supply pool balls in the clubhouse because windows and walls kept getting holes punched in them. You are welcome to bring your own pool balls. (Pool balls can also be checked out when renting the clubhouse, but please check in advance to ensure availability.)
