Mr. Kight has served on a City Council, as well as County Board of Directors. He has lived in The Colony for 7 years and is a member of Recreation and Fitness Committee. Fraudulent Conveyance Hearing: The hearing will be Nov. 21. Tso Jen (TJ) Chu, Majestic Asset Management investor, notified the court through his attorney that he has COVID and would be unable to attend the court proceeding in person. The HOA's legal counsel, Rian Jones, requested the court allow him to appear via Zoom, as well as provide a doctor's note. The pre-trial will continue as scheduled. Foreclosure Hearing: The golf course foreclosure hearing will be Dec. 2. Landscape Advisory Committee: Chairperson Jan Foster reported that the reseeding of front lawns has begun and we should expect to see sprinklers on sporadically. After reseeding is complete, planting of replacement plants should begin Dec. 1 and should take only a week to complete. Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District increased their rebate for turf renovation from $2 to $3 per square foot. Therefore, the LAC is looking into removing more greenbelt turf. The state is considering cutting off all overhead water to non- essential turf next year, so the committee believes it is time to investigate further greenbelt turf removal. The renovation would consist of drip irrigation to drought tolerant plants with wood mulch.
