Wildlife Sighting

There has been a reported bobcat sighting within the Vista Tassajara community.  While bobcats are naturally wary of people, awareness is key to preventing and reducing the chance of conflict.   Below are several tips to keep your family and pets safe:

  • Keep a close watch on small children.
  • Keep unattended pets indoors or confined in secure pens if left outdoors.
  • Remove all potential food sources from your property.  Do not feed wildlife or leave your pets food or water outdoors.
  • If you encounter a bobcat, do not run; instead, face the animal, make noise and try to look bigger by waving your arms; throw rocks or other objects. Pick up small children.
  • Please report all sightings to wildlife biologist, John Krause of California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, at (415)454-8050.

Three owners were elected to 3-year terms at the Annual Meeting of the Vista Tassajara Homeowners Association which was held on Wednesday, August 15, 2018, and they were appointed to the following positions:

  • Peter D. Langley, Vice President
  • Barbara Michel, Treasurer
  • Paul Kortschak, Secretary

The Board of Directors would like to sincerely thank Ann Marie Nugent for her 20+ years of service to the community as a Board member.

GOOD NEWS: LOWER SPECIAL ASSESSMENT FOR LANDSLIDE REPAIRS

The Board of Directors is pleased to inform you that the landslide repairs have been completed at a cost of approximately $1.5 million dollars versus the original project estimate of $1.9 million.

As a result of this savings, the bank loan portion of the Special Assessment will be reduced to $400.00 per calendar quarter and will last for only two years. The original loan cost was projected to be $409.61 per quarter for three years. This is a cost savings of approximately $1,715 per owner.

The Special Assessment loan payments are in addition to your regular quarterly dues assessment which will remain the same at $353.00 per calendar quarter. The Board has worked diligently in approving the budget for 2018 to avoid any increase in regular dues.

Please see the cover letter and approved budget for 2018 for additional information. A hard copy of the entire package has been mailed to all owners.

The Board of Directors wishes you and your families a happy holiday season!
