| Four Seasons Hemet Herald | FEBRUARY 2023 | 3 General Manager's Message By Rick Ruth, CMCA The Annual Membership meeting is just a couple of months away, tentatively set for Wed., April 26. This is when three Directors will be elected, each for a two-year term. The first steps in this process have begun. A Notice of Nominating Procedures and Candidate Resumes were sent out to all owners late last month. This information outlines qualifications to be a candidate on the Board of Directors. For any owners who are interested in serving on the Board of Directors and who meet those qualifications, time is running out. Please complete the resume form and return it to The Lodge front desk by the deadline indicated on the form (5 pm on Feb. 20). Please take note that serving on the Board requires a two-year commitment. Whether you choose to volunteer to serve on the Board of Directors or not, it is very important to exercise your rights and vote! When the notice and ballots are mailed out next month, please fill out the ballot and return it to The Lodge per the instructions. Maintenance & Violations In September, the Association turns 20. As the years go by, regularly scheduled preventative maintenance inspections are performed by committee volunteers and contracted vendors throughout the common areas and The Lodge facility. This practice continues to be very important and the results of those efforts are evident. One of the many resources that sets Four Seasons' Common Areas apart from other communities is the commitment made by our committees. The common area landscaping is regularly monitored by members of the Landscape Committee. The Lodge, recreation facility, streets and gatehouses are monitored by the Facilities Committee. Each month, the committee members perform a visual inspection of those areas. A report is provided at their twice monthly meetings listing any items needing correction. Their report is forwarded to the management team who then directs the vendors to correct the items accordingly. Access and traffic control issues are overseen by our Access Control Committee. They are also involved with the security company in keeping the association's post orders up to date. The Architectural Review Committee is another very important part of this community. They are responsible for working with residents who are improving their front yard landscaping, installing solar panels or repainting their homes. As the common areas are regularly inspected, your homes also require "regular inspections" too! Please take a good look at the outside of your home, especially the south facing side. Look at your shutters, trim and garage door for fading, chalkiness or paint peeling. Please take a proactive approach so both the costs for you to repair, replace or re-paint and for management to copy and mail out courtesy notices and violation letters is minimized. May all of you have a Happy Valentine's Day!
