Request for Comment on Proposed Rules

The Bella Beach HOA Board of Directors invites all Bella Beach Homeowners to the next HOA meeting. The meeting will be held at the Gleneden Community Center on Saturday, October 21st at 11am.

The general meeting will cover many topics with a significant portion of the agenda pertaining to proposed new rules for the Bella Beach community. A draft of the proposed rules is avilable here [PDF Format].

The draft rules are part of an ongoing process the HOA Board of Directors initiated in June of this year. Throughout the spring and early summer, the HOA Board received feedback from quite a few concerned HOA members regarding a number of livability issues in Bella Beach.

In an effort to further understand and respond to these concerns, the Board created a Rules Committee, chaired by HOA Board member Pam Getty. The Rules Committee sent a questionnaire to all HOA members soliciting their opinions of what is working and what isn’t working in Bella Beach. We were pleased with a high response rate and a good balance of what members like and don’t like about the current state of Bella Beach.

Two themes were clear from the feedback:

• HOA members are passionate about Bella Beach and universally want to maintain the traditionally high standards of community and livability.
  
• Many feel that Bella Beach is starting to slip in one or more areas. They are concerned that our high standards are eroding and are supportive of changes to ensure we are able to maintain and improve Bella Beach.

The Rules Committee reviewed all of the questionnaire responses and created a list of recommendations to address the issues raised. The HOA Board has reviewed the recommendations of the Rule Committee and is proposing the current draft rules as a first step in addressing the issues. This will be an ongoing process as we gather feedback and continue work on longer-term projects and recommendations.

We hope to see you at the HOA meeting on October 21st. If that isn’t possible and you would like to send feedback to the Board, please email it to: tellyourboard@BellaBeach.org. Email sent to this address will be forwarded to all Board members.
