Seek volunteers for new Tree Sub-Committee
There is an exciting new committee structure for landscaping matters. The Trees Sub-Committee is involved with decisions related to the hundreds of trees throughout the RDTA community. Some very innovative ideas are being considered. More sub-committee volunteers are being sought for protecting our trees! If you are interested, call (714) 779-2084 or email webmaster@rdta.org.

There are 17 units behind in paying monthly dues, totaling $48,475. The Board continues to watch the cash flow very carefully and only commit the Association to agreements and contracts that are necessary.

The current forms and procedures for handling resident requests to use the RDTA Common Area for a private party are being revised to simplify and have only one form. Residents need to plan ahead to allow time for a deposit check and proof of insurance to reach Golden West and the approval mailed back.

The Board approved the development of three new committees.
1) Playground Committee
We need to replace the play equipment currently in the Tot Lot section of the RDTA Recreational Area. The resident volunteers on this committee will research what we can get for the $16,000 available in our Reserve Funds for this project.
2) Neighborhood Watch Committee
Suzan Burns has the brochure that explains how to organize this program in a HOA. Once RDTA has it set up, the Brea Police Department will come out and offer additional suggestions.
3) Holiday Decoration Committee
This group can show residents how they can creatively decorate their homes and still follow the RDTA Rules & Regulations. There are plans to actively encourage residents to participate and perhaps have a contest with multiple categories. Photos of the winning units could be posted in the RDTA website. One idea is to decorate the pool equipment building to not only make our complex more festive, but to demonstrate how to attach decorations without damaging the building. Some of the Board members have offered to provide the decorations, so this would not cost the Association anything.

If you are interested in volunteering for one or more of these committees, contact the RDTA on-site liaison, Suzan Walter, at 714 779-2084 or repair@rdta.org.

The newly restructured Landscape Committee has been very busy. Each of the three sub-committees is working on multiple projects. A special web page has been set up to allow posting of documents and reports for handy access.
