FYI…I did get them to email me PDF’s of all the HOA rules and regulations, CC&R’s and the last year’s worth of association board meetings and minutes as well as full finances and accounting certification of operating expense and reserve fund budgeting. Man there are a lot of rules in Santaluz!

But the way I figure it…it will lead to a better quality of life having those kinds of rules and almost all of them are things I wouldn’t want to see anyway as a neighbor.

The only thing after reading all of them is they really seem hardcore on fines. Have any of you that live there ever gotten fined for anything?

I’m curious how they even monitor speeding there within the grounds. Fines look steep there so it got me curious how they even enforce the speeding there?

I also found it interesting that they budgeted for the 2011-2012 year for landscaping and lot maintenance almost $1 million. As well as $764,000 on security services for the year. A good chunk of change…. I’ll also have to do a bit more research on what goes into this “discretionary spending” which they budgeted $266,000 for this year.
