Thirty-two people attended a jam-packed Board Meeting held June 25, 2024, including eight Directors, Management representatives, and invited guests.

Board president Laura Civiello opened the meeting with an announcement that the California State Senate Judiciary Committee is reviewing AB 2159, a measure that would allow HOAs to use electronic voting systems to elect board members and approve governing documents. An electronic process would give the association a more efficient tool to gather votes than the current paper ballots, and hopefully make it easier to get quorum prior to the annual meetings.

Forty-five people attended the Board Meeting held February 27, including five Directors, Management representatives, and invited guests.

​The meeting was preceded by two presentations: Village Green resident and liaison for the California Resources Board’s SNAPs program Jesse Christensen shared information on CARB’s air pollution monitoring device that will be located at the Village Green clubhouse; and Dan Peters of the All Valley Washer Service, Inc. introduced his company to the community.

​Fifty-eight people attended the Village Green Board Meeting held on January 23, including 9 Directors, management and staff. It was Director Joe Khoury’s last meeting as a Board member—he’s retiring after the coming election—and his years of service were acknowledged with much gratitude by the community and fellow Board members.

​The topics of discussions and decisions included priority projects for 2024, replacing the association's law firm, the safety lighting project, replacing our laundry contractor, and repairs to some signage around the property.

INSURANCE RATES SKYROCKET
On December 9, Management was informed of an astronomical rate hike to the Green’s Property and Liability insurance premium for 2024. In 2023, the Association paid $196,345 in annual fees. Ms. Giles reported that the preliminary quote for the same coverage was likely to quintuple.

​
There was little in the way of official business; the Board discussed letters and correspondence brought by residents about everything from cats and coyotes to clubhouse rentals, but actionable items were minimal.
