We presented to the Board of Director's a proposal to adopt a revision to the Community Guidelines to comply with the Civil Code requirements. Homeowners should have received the rule change for their review and comment. The final approval will be take place at the May board meeting. The district delegate voting has been completed. The ballots for the Board of Directors position were counted on April 16. The delegates cast their final vote at the membership meeting on April 25.
