Highlights of RDTA Board Meeting April 23, 2013

Most of the Board’s attention is dealing with arranging for rebuilding of the unit that experienced fire damage earlier this month. Steps that are involved include clean up, engineering plans for rebuilding, city permits, bids for construction, then actual rebuilding. This process may take as long as nine months before unit can be declared habitable again.

The insurance carriers are working through the assignment of policy coverage, considering policy coverage and RDTA CC&Rs.

Residents are enjoying the new furniture at the pool area. During the recent heavy winds, we discovered the danger of open table umbrellas catching the gusts. We all need to help protect the furniture. Residents are urged to close up the umbrellas and return furniture to original placement before they exit the pool area.

The residents in the building on Via Canon (facing Dominguez Ranch Road) that has old, unauthorized television cables attached to building exterior are being notified that these cables will be removed.

The Board voted to charge a fee to help offset the cost of deactivating a unit’s cardkey when the Board removes pool and tennis privileges. This is most often due to non-payment of funds due to RDTA. There will be no fee charged for later reactivation when the matter is cleared up.
