V. Committee Reports

a. Architectural Review Committee – Paris Giunta reported one home along the 7^th hole receive approval for installation of netting along the hole’s frontage.

b. Landscaping Committee –

1.) Lena Blackburn reported the Committee has decided not to go with walnut shells for groundcover as they are too light weight and therefore easily displaced by wind and rain. The committee is now looking to source shredded bark which is more durable. She obtained pricing from Hollister Landscape Supply, which the Board felt was too high. The committee will obtain quotes from additional vendors.

2.) Grant Kane reported that a fallen tree took down a light post on Ridgemark Drive. Grant will notify PG&E.

                c. Security — Bill Baker reported meeting with Peggy Bettencourt, President of Ridgemark HOA, regarding a plan by Sierra Golf Management to lease the tennis building to a church named Victory Outreach – Hollister. The church, with a congregation of 30 – 50 people, is currently conducting services in the clubhouse. The move to the tennis building (which is in the footprint of the Ridgemark HOA, not our HOA IX) brings the church group from outside the gates to inside, and raises several issues, including how the church goers access will be monitored, the length of time of their permitted access, and will there a financial obligation of the church to share part of the security costs that is now being paid by the homeowners. Jeanne Mitchell questioned whether use of the tennis building as a church (and the club house) is a permitted use under the County’s zoning and land use regulations as well as a permitted use listed in the deed of the property. (After the meeting Jeanne emailed the County’s Planning and Land Use Division inquiring if this is a permitted use of that structure and will follow-up on the deed question.)

VI. Old Business

Update on Membership List and Administrative Issues.

1. Jeanne Mitchell reported the master membership list and also the list forwarded by Ellen Fisher, HOA bookkeeper, and both are out of date and incomplete. Her concern is that members are not receiving notices and communications from the Board. Bill Baker added that this information is essential in the event an emergency occurs on a property when the homeowner is not home. Jeanne is working to get this list updated. Also, a form will go out to all the homeowners with the next quarter’s bill requesting updated ownership information, including phone numbers and email addresses.

• Filings – A Statement of Common Interest and a Statement of Information are required to be filed every two years with the Secretary of State of California. Both were due on 12/31/2024. There is a sixty-day grace period so HOA still in good standing but we need to get these documents filed this month to avoid penalty. Jeanne will work with Ellen to get these documents filed.

VII. New Business

1. There was no new business.

VIII. Meeting adjourned at 7pm

Respectfully submitted,

Jeanne Mitchell

Secretary
