Board meetings, election dates, maintenance schedules...
In accordance with the Mendocino HOA Election Rules adopted on June 6, 2020, and pursuant to Calif. Civ. Code §5105, the Board of Directors announced an annual election to be held on December 15 via zoom.
There were 5 seats up for re-election - 3 for a 2-year term and 2 for a 1-year term. The deadline to submit applications was September 21. No applications were received. The three incumbents - Nancy, Semy and Slav - were effectively re-elected uncontested for another 2-year term. Pat, the fourth board member appointed to serve out the remaining 1-year term, has decided not to continue on the board.
Pursuant to Calif. HOA rules, the board dispensed with the uncontested election. The annual membership meeting will be held at 6:00 PM on November 17 before the regular board meeting via Zoom.

Fellow homeowners,
You should see a reduction in the line item in the property taxes when you receive your fall SD County Tax Assesssor bill. The property tax bill has a whole bunch of line items one of which is for CFD #1 - Community Facilities District #1, commonly referred to as Mello-Roos. Mendocino, together with Cambria, Saxony, and Encinitas Ranch HOAs, is part of CFD#1. CFD#1 annual tax contributions are shared by these HOAs and Encinitas Ranch Golf Authority (ERGA). Pursuant to the Encinitas Ranch Development Agreement, if ERGA's annual revenues fall short, the HOAs' share of annual tax contributions increases, which was the case in the past. If ERGA has excess golf course net revenues, there is a five year look back provision to pay back the tax shortfall.
The good news is the golf course is doing extremely well and so much so that they have made all of their contributions to the CFD #1 bonds that are part of our property tax bill. In addition ERGA is going to pay back all of the under payments for 2018, 2019 and 2020 ($562,055), which should result in the homeowners' reduction in the CFD#1 tax line item going forward.

Thank you, Doug, for your many hours of work on the committee. Our neighborhoods are much the better for it.
MENDOCINO HOA LANDSCAPING MODIFICATION AND FEES SCHEDULE
Pursuant to CC&Rs 8.4 "the HOA shall be responsible for maintaining, repairing, replacing and otherwise caring for all HOA property (including, without limitation, the landscaping... within the HOA property...) and the landscaping and irrigation within the Front Yard Maintenance Areas." This means upkeeping the current landscape while repairing/replacing diseased/dead plants. Homeowners who wish to upgrade their front yard landscape can choose from the following options:
A. Install the upgrades of their choice at their own expense, with the approval of the Landscape Committee and the HOA landscaper.
PLEASE SUBMIT A LANDSCAPE MODIFICATION APPLICATION TO MMS
This step is necessary to ensure that no plants requiring extra care are planted (frequent trimming of excessive growth, special nutrient/feeding requirements, seasonal care, annuals, etc.), and that the new landscape will fit into the current watering schedule (there are 3-4 homes on a single watering valve so watering schedule cannot be adjusted for any one individual home with a special landscape). The HOA landscaper will maintain the new landscape but the homeowner will be responsible for replacing any dead/diseased plants.
B. Purchase a turnkey pre-approved upgrade from the HOA landscaper:
Beach Succulents up to $3,100
California Native up to $2,700
Mediterranean up to $2,650
The themes are illustrated on the Mendocino Buzz HOA blog.
The prices are based on the largest front/side yard and include an irrigation upgrade, soil improvement and multiple plant/landscaping upgrades. The actual price might be less for smaller yards and with fewer/smaller size plants/upgrades selected. The HOA landscaper will warranty the plants and maintain the new landscape.
C. Personalized Design by ALC
Design $475
The HOA landscaper will meet with the homeowner, measure/assess the area, discuss the homeowner's wishes/preferences and propose a tailored upgrade plan with associated cost. If accepted, 50% of the design fee will be credited back towards the implementation cost. The HOA landscaper will warranty the plants and maintain the new landscape.
OTHER FEES TO BE PAID BY HOMEOWNER
Capping irrigation water lines for driveway hardscape installation - up to $400 (each driveway has 2-4 pipe lines; the price is $250/2 lines, $360/3 lines, $400/4 lines).
Capping irrigation water lines for a fence move (required
for moving the vinyl fence on a Residential Unit) - up to $300 (depends on the
affected area: one pipe $125, two pipes $240, 3 pipes $300).
