Compliance Information

The Board of Directors met Thursday, October 11. Please note several key items discussed.

• 2013 Reserve Study Update: 2013 Reserve Study Update: Browning Reserve Group completed a financial update for each of the 3 reserve studies of the association. The Board accepted these updated studies at their meeting and may now be found online at www.rmiconnect.com/ somersett.

• 2013 Annual Budget: The Board approved the 2013 Budget which goes to homeowner ratification at the November 15 Annual Meeting.

To view the Budget, login to mysomersett.com and visit the “News and Documents” page under the SOA tab. Based on the approved budget, assessments are set to decrease in all three cost centers (General Common, Club at Town Center, and Private Streets/Gates).

To report a non-compliance, please email or call Sean Stapleton at sstapleton@mysomersett.com or 787-4500 ext 322. Please note that while we do investigate and document each complaint received, we cannot disclose the status of anyone’s account. Should a homeowner not respond to or correct a violation, he or she will be summoned to a hearing at which time they could be suspended from the Club and assessed fines. Once fines reach $500, a lien could be placed on the property. At this time the Association has a policy not to enter a property, unless it is bank owned, and then only to repair front yard landscaping.

sierra canyon Homeowner’s Association Success

A

n independent study conducted by IBOPE Zogby International revealed that homeowners are satisfied with their homeowner’s associations. This is the fourth time in seven years that residents have expressed their heavy support of their community associations.

More than 62 million Americans live in an estimated 315,000 association-governed communities, and the research confirms that most committee members, board members and professional managers are doing a good job for the various associations they serve.

The survey results are encouraging, considering many people these days look upon institutions negatively. That doesn’t appear to be the case for those living in neighborhoods with community associations.

Of those surveyed, 24 percent cite neighborhood attractiveness and maintained property values as positive reasons for residing in these areas. Here in Somersett and Sierra Canyon, we employ a management company that inspects the community for violations of the governing documents. The enforcement of these documents has a direct result on

your neighborhood’s attractiveness, which assists in maintaining your property’s value.

An active community is an important ingredient to a successful homeowner’s association. Community involvement in activities offered by the association, as well as participation on committees and boards, results in a strong, successful association. I encourage you to support our association by serving your community, attending board meetings or simply attending social events so we can continue to show positive homeowner’s association survey results for many years to come!
