e Season of Change As I walk through our beautiful village, I'm reminded of how each season brings new colors, shiing temperatures, and ongoing projects. It's worth pausing to appreciate the remarkable place we live in and the wonderful community we share, embracing both our common ground and our dierences. e blue skies and diverse landscape highlight this constant change. In the coming weeks, the lake will be full, allowing us to restore our grounds and fully integrate it into the golf course and community. As one major project concludes, another begins. e one constant is change, and more change is coming. Our more-than-40-year-old village requires continual updates to prepare for the future. e next step is bringing high-speed ber-optic internet to every home at a signicantly reduced cost through bulk purchasing. is project is moving forward thanks to strong voter participation, and I thank everyone who took part, regardless of how you voted. Our conversation on the ber-optic conversion has started with COX and we hope to have a signed contract ready soon. Once we have signed a contract it will take about two months for the initial switchover to happen when your HOA fees go up and your direct payments to COX stop. For many of us this will be a signicant monetary saving each month. If all goes according to plan the switch over should happen around the rst of July. As this project proceeds, we will keep you informed with at least monthly reports. Another project that is ongoing is the removal of grass (referred to as turf panels) throughout our property. is project is mandated by California law AB-1572 requiring us to remove almost all common grass areas, except for the golf course. We will be replacing the grass areas with trees and low water use ground covers. is project must be completed by January of 2029. e Master Board March Summary of actions: e Board convened a Special Open meeting on March 12 and took the following action.
