November update: Bookkeeper service hired, proxy vote continues, leaf pickup coming, snowplow search

Image
Board signs contract with third-party bookkeeper; lot owner portals coming soon! Good news! Later this month, the Board will begin providing online access to our financials, meeting minutes, controlling documents and policies, resident directory and Clubhouse rental calendar through HOA Community Links (HOACL), a Carmel-based third-party bookkeeping vendor. HOACL will move our old bookkeeping function that was heavily reliant on slow, manual processes to a more modern digital solution with 24/7 account access and individual portal accounts for each Eagle Nest lot owner. And we’re doing it for about half the cost of the former bookkeeper’s annual salary! But let’s be clear: We’re not hiring a management company to take over Eagle Nest, only the bookkeeping function. Using this third-party vendor will provide more efficiency, transparency and the professionalism residents deserve. It’s also worth noting that we’ve leveraged third-party providers for years, including independent co...

But taking a just a few minutes to review and vote on the Board's proposed covenant amendments could affect your property values for years to come. We're looking to ban short-term rentals, Airbnbs and Vrbos, as well as address residents' concerns about parking and garbage. Will you help?

We simply ask owners to participate in the process. And if you drop your proxy in the Clubhouse mailbox by Friday, Oct. 30, you'll be entered into a random drawing for a $25 VISA gift card. Six lot owners have won so far -- a mix of supporters an...

Fellow residents, A sincere thank you to all residents who have submitted their proxy vote in our ongoing covenant amendment campaign. About three and a half months into our effort, we have collected 42% of lot proxies – most in support of our proposals. But we’re not there yet. We have until Dec. 22 to collect a simple majority of yes or no votes, and we want to ensure we capture as many votes as possible. But we know life is busy, and sometime folks need a little reminder. That’s why the Board has sponsored random $25 gift card drawings to nudge lot owners to vote. We’ve started door-to-door visits to pass out flyers. And we’ve created a special landing page on our blog site with links to a downloadable proxy form and all the related documentation to read up on. How you can help If you support protecting property values by banning short-term rentals and maintaining our community aesthetics by clarifying rules on parking and garbage, please turn in your proxy form as soon as p...

The results of our first random proxy submission drawing are in!

Image
Sometimes the small things can make a big difference – like submitting your Eagle Nest proxy to update our neighborhood covenants. That’s what lot owners Annette Donegan (Lot 034) of Sandpiper Court, Aaron Lopez (Lot 207) of Tanager Lane, and Jerry Larson (Lot 319) of Shrike Court did, and each was randomly selected to win a $25 Visa gift card just for turning in their ballot. We can’t say how they voted, but we’re thankful they took two seconds to make their voice heard!
