COME SEE THE IMPROVED TOT LOT!

Come and see the long anticipated improvements to the tot lot!

Since the HOA received deed/ownership of the Civano 1 Neighborhood 1 common areas, we were finally able to have the shade structure and playgroud equipment installed at the tot lot--just in time for the beginning of our warm weather.  So, stop on by, the gates are open and the new bouncy animals are ready to give rides!

                               ************************************

Board Resolution - CASITAS

Recently the Board of Directors signed a resolution to allow Homeowners with casitas to rent the dwelling separately from the main house.  Prior to this resolution, the CC&Rs allowed only for the entire parcel to be leased and did not allow a Homeowner to rent a casita or over garage apartment as a separate dwelling.  There are rules and restrictions regarding this variance which can be found by clicking on the picture below. 

To apply for a variance for your casita fill out the request form and return it to the HOA Office.  The variance is permanent and runs with the land so even if your home is sold, the buyer does not need to re-apply.

HOA CONTACT PROTOCOL

There have been some recent issues where Homeowners have approached Board Members or Committee Members directly seeking HOA action.  In September of 2007, the Board of Directors made a motion that passed unanimously to set the proper protocol for Civano residents to make contact with the HOA, Board, and its Committees and it reads as follows:

• Protocol for Contacting the HOA and/or Board of Directors

There is only one protocol for contacting the HOA. If a homeowner has a problem or wants to get a message out to the Board Members, they shall no longer send information directly to individual Board Members. New protocol that will be strictly enforced is that all communications must go through The Manager’s Office.

MOTION:         To make the protocol that all information must first to go through the Manager. Motion was seconded. Discussion ensued.  Motion passed unanimously.

The reason that the Board put this policy in place is so that information could be properly disseminated and followed through. 

There are many ways to contact the HOA and Homeowners are welcome and encouraged to use the method they are most comfortable with.

Getting on the HOA Agenda

Issues that need to be addressed as official agenda items must be turned in to the HOA Management office two weeks prior to the Board Meeting.  There is an open forum that always proceeds the business portion of the Board Meeting where Homeowners can address brief items but for items that need to be discussed at length or for issues that have accompanying documentation or would require a vote of the Board, 2 weeks prior submission is required. 

So, if you have an issue that will take up a significant amount of time or requires that Board Members review related documentation, please turn in agenda items by the 2nd week of each month.   If you have questions, call the HOA Office at 546-3862.
