Election Results
Thanks for participating in the recent votes. Ballots have been tabulated.
Elizabeth Aaron has been re-elected as HOA President
Tom Underwood has been re-elected as HOA Vice President
Welcome back, Greg Giddings! Greg received votes as a write-in candidate and has been elected as Director.
CC&R Ballot Results
CC&R ballots were counted, but not enough homeowners returned ballots for the results to be official. The votes that were submitted show strong support for updating the CC&Rs. New ballots will be issued in the coming months, and we’re hoping for higher participation.
What’s required: 67% of homeowners must return ballots for the vote to count.
What a Yes vote means: Only 51% approval would be needed to update the CC&Rs.
Why it matters:
Getting 197 homeowners to vote is difficult.
Our CC&Rs are outdated, especially regarding:
how excessive rentals affect property values
the ability to save hundreds of thousands of dollars on HOA insurance
A Yes vote doesn’t give the board unlimited authority. It simply lowers the approval threshold for major issues—like rentals and insurance—from 197 owners to 150.
Firepit FYI
The firepit emergency shut-off button can be used to turn off the flame before the timer ends.
A reset is required for the next user to ignite the fire.
Push the emergency shut off button and turn 90° right.

Caring for Our Community
We’re incredibly fortunate to live in a neighborhood with great amenities—from our spa and pool to the firepit and gathering areas. These spaces are meant to bring us together, and it takes all of us working as a team to protect and maintain them. Lately, we’ve seen a few challenges at the jacuzzi and firepit that we’d like your help addressing. Click here to learn how you can help keep our community safe and enjoyable for everyone.
Public Safety Call to Action
Although the HOA is not responsible for city streets, we are aware that gas is being siphoned and vehicles are being broken into regularly. It’s inexcusable that the city has time to ticket vehicles on Boulderidge but not police it. The only way the Sheriff will continue to patrol Boulderidge is if dozens of residents regularly call the non-emergency number 858.565.5200 to request it. When a handful of the same people call, they don’t believe we have a legitimate problem. Please do your part and help us make Boulderidge a safe place to park!
About Us
At Laurel & Magnolia, we believe in the power of caring for our property and supporting our community. We’re committed to addressing important issues like neighborhood safety, construction management, property maintenance and insurance. Initially, we were simply volunteers, residents like you, dedicated to improving our neighborhood. In late 2023, we created this website to keep homeowners and renters informed and connected during a time of significant change when proactive involvement was crucial. Now, as your Board of Directors, officially elected in August 2024, we remain committed to our mission of fostering progress and enhancing our community's well-being through collaboration and support.
