Finance
Laurel & Magnolia's finances are now being managed by RealManage/Walters. If your November dues were not paid, please create your CiraNet account with RealManage and pay for the current month. You can also setup monthly automatic withdrawals with no service fee (details are included in this update). Strategic HOA will be forwarding invoices and incoming funds to RealManage/Walters within 48 hours.
Insurance
You should have received your ballot in the mail. Please make your selection promptly and mail the ballot by November 29th to make the December 6th deadline. A prepaid envelope is included for your convenience. We strongly encourage every homeowner to vote, community participation is essential to reach quorum; otherwise, the voting process will be extended, incurring additional costs and resource usage. If you have any questions regarding the ballot, please email our property manager, Reina White, at LaurelMa@ciramail.com
During our last board meeting on Nov.13, there were questions about the deductible for our property damage policy. There is a $25,000 deductible per residence which would be paid by the HOA in the event that a claim needs to be made. If our policy were to increase to $60M or $103M property damage coverage, the deductible will remain the same.
SD Roof Doctor
The team has completed Laurel and will begin Magnolia this week.
Laurel Firepit
We regret to inform you that the community firepit is currently out of service due to damage. We have instructed our property manager to prioritize this maintenance request to ensure the firepit is repaired promptly.
Unfortunately, this issue has occurred multiple times, often due to rocks and internal components being tampered with. This not only compromises the safety of those nearby but also affects the enjoyment of this amenity for everyone. Additionally, each repair costs the community approximately $700 to $1,000.
To help prevent future damage and ensure safety, we kindly request the following:
The firepit should only be used by individuals aged 18 and older.
Children should not play in or around the firepit area.
We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in preserving our shared amenities and ensuring a safe environment for all residents.
AT&T Fiber Optic Installation
AT&T is currently determining the best method to install fiber optic lines from the electrical panel to each home. After the site survey, it will take a few months to create a design plan, which will require Board approval. Once approved, it may take several months to complete installation. Please note that all costs associated with this project will be covered by AT&T.
For assistance with property matters please contact Reina White at LaurelMa@ciramail.com or call 866.473.2573, Ext. 5801
Thank you for your continued support and commitment to our community.
Sincerely,
Laurel and Magnolia Board of Directors
