                                   I was very pleased to see the increased attendance at last month’s meeting.  It    Community Association
                                   appeared there were at least 40 members attending and an additional 25
                                   households on Zoom.  Of course, the budget presentation might have boosted          3240 Kennerleigh Parkway,
                                   participation and I’d like to see a packed house going forward, but we’re off to       Roseville, CA 95747
                                   a good start.                                                                         Phone: (916) 771-7801
                                                                                                                          Fax: (916) 771-7827
                                   When I was elected as president, I was advised by members to avoid              www.theclubatwestparkca.com
                                   answering questions or addressing member concerns during open forum.  But I
                                   ran for the board on a promise of transparency, and I believe that includes back   The Retreat Facility Hours
           Dick Tipton,            and forth dialog with our members.  You may have noticed that everyone who               Monday - Friday
           Board President         came to the podium last month had their questions or concerns answered by              8:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.
                                   one of the board members or our GM.  I believe explaining what we’re doing              Saturday & Sunday
                                   and why goes a long way toward community confidence in the decisions the               9:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
                                   board must make on a regular basis.                                               RETREAT CLOSED 12/25/23


                                    That said, there have been a few instances in which members have been rude          FirstService Residential
                                   or intimidating when speaking to our HOA staff.  That behavior is a clear             Customer Care Center
                                   violation of our HOA member code of conduct and will not be tolerated.                    (800) 428-5588
                                   Please remember, the staff “does not work for us”; rather they “work for FSR”             Resident Portal

                                   your concerns, you can request a meeting with the Board of Directors.
                                   In our last meeting, the board authorized the formation of a Landscape                  Board of Directors

                                   will develop a long-term strategy for the invasive roots of the Chinese Elms.       Mary Gale, Vice President
                                   Linda Mohr will be the board liaison to the committee.                                Tom Stevens, Treasurer

                                   Fortunately, the actual cost of applying bark throughout the community came       Terry Eyrich, Member at Large
                                   in far less than the original bids.  We had originally planned on applying bark
                                   in the common areas and south side of the community.  With the reduced cost,     Email: boardofdirectors@tcwp.net
