December 21, 2022: Proposed RESA Operating Budget

Posted on by

Dear Members of the Redwood Estates Services Association (RESA),

The RESA Board of Directors (BoD) would like to invite all members to attend our monthly BoD meeting on Wednesday, December 21 at 7:00 p.m. at the Pavilion at Redwood Estates. 

The RESA BoD will present the proposed 2023 RESA Operating Budget and discuss a proposed increase in monthly assessments to members. The proposed 2023 Operating Budget plan gives members a clear view on how monthly dues, which keep your community running, are allocated. 

Meeting Agenda

  • 7:00 pm: Review of proposed 2023 Operating Budget and overview of current RESA finances.
  • 8:00 pm: Discuss the proposed monthly assessment increase.
  • 8:30 pm: Discuss more stringent penalties for delinquent payers. 

The 2023 RESA Operating Budget must be finalized by December 31, 2022, so as a member of the RESA community, this is your opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the RESA budgeting process and provide your input. 

 The BoD will open Public Comments for each agenda item following initial topic presentation and discussion. Based on feedback from the recent member survey, we are taking steps to ensure meetings are more productive and end in a timely manner. The BoD may decide, if there is a large turnout and number of comments, to place a 3-minute time limit on speakers. We ask everyone to be respectful of each other. No speaker shall be interrupted; repeated interruptions are grounds for dismissal from the meeting. We hope you join us and share your opinions on this important topic.

Thank you,

Redwood Estates Services Association

Notice to Members

Posted on by

The RESA Board of Directors has recently decided to make a change to the schedule for nominations to the Board of Directors, the Meet the Candidates meeting, and the Annual Meeting of the Members.

As you were previously informed in a letter sent in November 2020, Board nominations may be submitted until March 3, 2021. We discovered a conflict between this statement, the scheduled date of the annual meeting, and the RESA Bylaws. In addition, at least two members have shown interest in submitting nominations for the Board of Directors, after the nominations were declared to be closed, in accordance with the RESA Bylaws.

To honor the member requests and the information in the November 2020 RESA letter, and to continue to conform to the RESA Bylaws, the RESA Board has decided to continue to allow receipt of Board nominations up to the previously announced date of March 3, 2021.

The Meet the Candidates meeting, which was previously scheduled for March 9, 2021, is now rescheduled for March 16, 2021 at 6:00 pm due to power outage. A link to the Zoom meeting to Meet the Candidates can be obtained from the RESA Staff. 

Ballots for election of three Board members will be distributed by mail to members in good standing approximately two weeks before the annual meeting. Only members/candidates whose names appear on the ballot will be eligible for election to the Board. The cutoff for submitting ballots will be Sunday, April 11, 2021 at 2:00 pm.

The Annual Meeting of the Members has been rescheduled to allow at least 30 days between the closure of the nominations and the election. The Annual Meeting of the Members is scheduled for Sunday, April 11, 2021, at 2:00 pm.

If you are not using either Constant Contact or Nextdoor, you may contact the RESA staff for additional information. RESA and its Board of Directors sincerely apologize to you for any inconvenience caused by these schedule changes.

President, RESA Board of Directors
