FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | APRIL 2026 5 February was an active month for the Association, highlighted by three well-attended Town Hall meetings featuring informative and engaging speakers. One Town Hall focused on the Conservation Easement (CE), with presentations from Mandy and Aaron of the Inland Empire Resource Conservation District (IERCD). ey outlined how the CE will be managed once responsibility transfers to the Association under the Long- Term Management Plan (LTMP). e IERCD is a public agency based in Redlands, governed by a seven-member board appointed by the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors. Its mission includes conserving natural resources, reducing soil erosion, and enhancing habitats across portions of San Bernardino and Riverside counties. e organization also provides educational programs, community workshops, and land management support. e Board anticipates inviting IERCD to a future Town Hall aer they assume CE management. A key discussion point was the importance of coordinating with K. Hovnanian to ensure the transition of the CE occurs with minimal impact and cost to the Association. e Board will continue working with IERCD and conservation easement specialists to conrm that the CE does not present unforeseen maintenance or repair obligations. Members of the Conservancy Committee — Claudia Rossi and Howard Ochi, along with Eric Zarr and me, conducted a site walk of the CE to assess its condition. Overall, the area was found to be in good condition. We reviewed drainage features, including tin whistles, and inspected gabions used for erosion control and retaining structures. Before formally accepting responsibility for the CE, additional site inspections will be conducted with subject-matter experts to ensure all systems remain in proper working order, given their approximate 20-year age. Another key speaker was the Beaumont Fire Chief, Todd Hopkins, who explained he had looked at several models of how res burn. He ran programs with dierent types of wind events along, with summer, fall, and winter temperatures, and in all cases, the re moved slowly through the CE. He factored the burn rate with no air support or ground support and again it moved at a slow rate. e Chief pointed out that the CE elevation is lower and typically damp, if not wet, so it would not burn as fast. All good news for Four Seasons as there is always a chance of re, but in this case it is somewhat mitigated. Questions were pre-submitted and were grouped together with like questions and were answered. If you have not watched the video, I would urge you to. ere is some valuable information.
