No December Meeting

There will be no December Board of Directors Meeting. Meetings will reconvene in 2011 on the fourth Tuesday of the month.

PARKING POLICY ADOPTED!

During the November 30, 2010 Board of Directs meeting, the Cypress Point Board adopted the new Cypress Point Parking Policy and will begin immediate enforcement of the policy up to and including towing vehicle who are in violation. Please review the policy and comply. If you have questions about the policy, contact PMP immediately.

PARKING POLICY ADOPTED SOON!

Very soon the Cypress Point parking policy will become effective. While the policy has been out to the membership for a thirty day review, you may have received a yellow warning notice on your car. Yellow notices were provided as a courtesy so that homeowners understand what will not be allowable under the new parking policy. Once the policy is adopted, warning notices will not be provided for vehicles parking in area subject to immediate tow. The Association installed tow signage at each community entry point and will be strictly enforcing the new policy. If you are unsure what is allowable under the new parking policy or would like an copy of the policy, please contact Property Management Professionals at 661-295-4900.

PARKING POLICY/WARNING

Your Board of directors recently sent out a new draft parking policy to the membership for review/approval. Please look over the new policy and send your feedback to your property manager, Kevin Harbison, at kharbison@pmprollc.com.

The policy was drafted in part becuase there have been numerous reports of unauthorized vehicle or vehicles parked in the common driveways, fire lanes or for long periods of time throughout the Cypress Point Community. Unauthorized vehicles are subject to tow immediately. Authorized vehicles parked in the same location in guest parking for more than 72 hours are also subject to tow. Violators can be reported to the LA County Sheriff at http://www.scvsheriff.com/crimetips.asap. Please be advised that they will tow!!

Pest Control

With the coming of spring, you may notice an increase in the number of critters and insects in and around the community. One of the most common occurring insect this area is the ant. The most common ant found in Southern California is the Argentine Ant. Large colonies of this species can be found yards and common slope areas near moisture sources such as sprinklers, valve boxes and standing water. These ants feed on a variety of foods like meats, eggs, vegetable oils and sweets. In some cases, these will migrate into homes through the cracks and voids in doorways and garages.

If you notice that ants have made it into your home, the community pest control vendor can provide spraying at a discount rate on days they are in the community taking care of the common areas. If you would like more information about these services, please give them a call at 800-344-6567 or visit them on the web at www.animalpest.com.
