FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MAY 2021 5 It's election season at Four Seasons. At the end of February District Delegate ballots were mailed and Board of Director ballots were mailed at the end of March. We are almost in the home stretch with one more ballot to be mailed, to eliminate Delegate and cumulative voting. Eliminating the District Delegate will be a cost savings since it will eliminate ballots mailed out with a postage paid return envelope. The HOA also incurs a cost to draft ballots and legal costs to review. In addition, if for any reason the delegate is not available on election day, that district's votes will not be counted under our current CC&Rs. We would like all votes to count once quorum is reached for the entire community. Currently, we have cumulative voting which means you can cast as many votes to a candidate as there are open seats. By eliminating cumulative voting, you would still be able to cast as many votes as there are seats open, but just one vote per candidate. Once you receive your ballot, please vote as per the current CC&Rs; it takes a 67 percent or 2/3 majority to even open the ballots, so we are looking for an 80 percent return. As I write this, COVID-19 numbers are dropping in Riverside County and we are moving from the state's red to orange tier. The Board of Directors was able, and HAPPY, to open most of our facilities, many at 25 percent capacity with inside dining and the movie theatre at 50 percent capacity. The gym and all spas will still require a reservation, but both The Courts pool and The Lodge pool no longer require a reservation. The Summit pool, once opened, will require reservations. Currently, no guests are permitted in any of the facilities, but hopefully this will change soon. We are anticipating to be in the yellow tier soon! Remember, masks must be worn while inside any of the facilities On April 7, the Canine Corral opened to many excited dogs! Applications are still being accepted for new members. If you are interested in joining, please contact the Canine Corral Committee Chairperson, Sandra Butler-Roberts, at sandirae@icloud.com for further information. The Landscape Committee is currently working on a project at The Lodge to replace many plantings that were at the end of their life. If you have not visited The Lodge recently, please do so and enjoy all the beautiful spring flowers. The pool area at The Lodge is also undergoing a beautification project with new plants in both the ground and in pots. It should be a pretty place to enjoy the sun. Hoping everyone will enjoy the beautiful resort atmosphere this summer! If you are looking to meet new people and are interested in volunteering, please consider joining one of our many committees. Our committees are responsible for keeping our community beautiful (Landscape), setting a budget (Finance), reviewing any modifications to properties (Architectural Review), keeping our community safe (Safety), and many more. If you are interested in joining any committee or just visiting to see what happens, check the calendar in the Breeze for dates and times. Thank you to the many volunteers we currently have for all the hard work and dedication. In addition to our monthly scheduled Board meetings, we also hold a monthly "Meet the Board" which is a more informal meeting with three Board Members. If you have any questions or concerns, it's a great time to speak directly with a Board member and receive answers in real time. Anything that cannot be answered in the meeting will be researched and responded to via email to the resident asking the question. This meeting is scheduled the second Wednesday of each month at 1 pm in the Ballroom. Board of Director meetings are back in person again. Currently, the Ballroom can accommodate 131 people based on current COVID guidelines. Come out and watch the business of the corporation. Board of Director meetings are the second Thursday of the month at 1 pm. If you wish to contact the Board about an issue, you may send an email to theboard@fourseasonsbeaumont.org or call me at (714) 722-1301. We look forward to seeing many of you out and about and enjoying our wonderful amenities. Take care. Message From The Board By Kathy Craven, Board Vice President
