Eastridge Hills HOA – Summary of the December 3, 2025 Board Meeting
Clear Decisions, Cleaner Processes: Your HOA Board Gets It Done
The December 3rd open session brought solid progress across committees and some spirited homeowner input. Meeting attendance was strong, and Zoom behaved better than a loose garbage can on collection day.
Here’s what shaped your community this month:
Homeowner Forum Highlights
Residents raised several important topics, including:
• High-weed mowing for both the community and the park
• Pet owners leaving “little surprises” behind—never appreciated
• A tire-repair business operating from a home
• Problems with restricted resident street parking
• Requests to upload meeting minutes to the member portal
• Questions about online bill-pay options
• Updates on the management-company transition, financials, dues concerns, and the recall election
• Interest in membership voting on updates to governing documents

2026 Meeting Calendar Set

Committee Reports
• ARC Committee – Approved a new fencing variance: homeowners may now use materials other than wood (MSC 2-0).
• Social Committee – Successful community “night out” event with strong turnout.
• Communications Committee – Continued progress on the new Eastridge Hills website.
• Finance Committee – Coordinating with Schwab on investment planning; preparing long-range budgeting toward 2027.
• Governance Document Committee – Confirmed the City of Fairfield is responsible for firebreak-weed reduction in the city-owned Rockville Regional Park; working on red-line recommendations for governing documents. (Fairfield Ordinance 2022-15 and Fire Prevention Standard 19-24). The committee pointed out that weed abatement is the responsibility of all Eastridge Hills property owners and is a required task with specifications listed in the current documents.
Gate Security
Management has obtained several proposals from qualified Security Companies for adding guards at the back gate. The Volunteer Directors took to the chain saw this past week to remove over 1,500 pounds of dead tree branches and brush left over from a landscape maintenance company who failed to complete their contract under the previous HOA Board control.
⸻
Financials
The Board reviewed the October 2025 financials-no unusual findings. The HOA Board is reviewing several past shared charges with the Eastridge Property Owners Association. Some charges were discovered to be errors made by the Management Company or their software system. The Current Eastridge Hills Treasurer, Eddie Williams, is attempting to recover those monies and return them to the Eastridge Hills Association coffers. Since this discovery of these financial anomalies, the HOA Board has redoubled their efforts to investigate even deeper into past transactions that were possibly ignored by the previous HOA Board of Directors.

Final Notes:
This Board meeting sets the stage for clearer rules, safer streets, improved transparency, and stronger long-term financial planning. If homeowners stay engaged, we’ll keep gaining momentum instead of collecting dust—like those abandoned sprinklers we finally fixed last month.
