PRESIDENTS COLUMN The Club at WestPark

Mary Gale Community Association

As we have said frequently, our monthly Board of Directors Meeting is your meeting. 3240 Kennerleigh Parkway,
It’s where we conduct the business of the Homeowner’s Association as listed on our Roseville, CA 95747
Agenda. It’s where you learn the details of the important issues before our community. Phone: (916) 771-7801
Fax: (916) 771-7827
Within our meeting, we conduct two Open Forum sessions in which any member www.theclubatwestparkca.com
present in person or via Zoom may voice comments, thoughts, questions, and concerns.
The Retreat Facility Hours
Last month, one member taking part in Open Forum mentioned Mello-Roos in conjunction with Monday - Friday
preserving our property values. I thought it might be a good topic to explore because while we all pay a 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.
Mello-Roos tax via our property tax bills here in Placer County, it’s notable that this tax revenue isn’t Saturday & Sunday
applied directly to our development, but to the public amenities surrounding our subdivision. 9:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Mello-Roos has been around since 1982. It was passed by the California Legislature to give local
governments a “financing tool” after the passage of Proposition 13. While Prop 13 tax limits are on the FirstService Residential
value of our real property, Mello-Roos taxes are equally applied to all properties with the district. In other Customer Care Center
words, the smallest lot and home within the Club pays the same Mello-Roos as the largest lot and home. (800) 428-5588
