Your board of directors, are homeowners; they are your neighbors volunteering their time to help make the West Sahara Community Association a better place to live, work and play. Management is paid to manage the business of the association. We are part of a beautiful community. By working together in a positive way, we can be even better.

      

For most of us, our home is the single most expensive purchase we will ever make. Our community reflects on all of us. When President Kennedy said in a speech so many years ago “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country”, it made an impression on all of us.

 

Communities that have positive neighborhood involvement are safer and friendlier neighborhoods. Get involved. Meet your neighbors, have block parties. Most problems can be resolved with a polite conversation. Ask yourself what you can do for your community, even if it is just a smile to a neighbor. Every little bit helps make our West Sahara Community Association a better place to live.

Important notice to all residents in 

West Sahara Community Association:

There has been some discussion lately as to what are the duties of members in our community and what responsibilities and duties board members have. We hope that this will clear any confusion. 

The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for West Sahara Community Association is designed to protect and enhance our neighborhood. The Board of Directors is required to investigate any conduct it learns about that may violate the provisions of the Declaration.

 The Common Areas and Common Area amenities, including landscaping, landscaping material, rocks/boulders and recreational equipment are owned by the Association  and are for the benefit of all the members. No member or guest is entitled to vandalize or take any Association property for their own personal use because it hurts all of us. 

When a member of the Association is accused of doing something which violates the Declaration, that Member is entitled to "due process" which means that Member is entitled to a notice of the charges and a right to a hearing before the Board or panel appointed by the Board at which time the Member has the opportunity to defend himself. 

If someone comes to your door and tells you that you are in violation or in non-compliance and you have not been notified in writing by the Association office please notify the office at 795-3344. All official communication from the association will be sent to you via US mail.

All violations notices are sent to each member/homeowner/resident in writing. We do not give any verbal violations. The board consists of 5 members. No one board member can make a decisions without the other 4 unless it is deemed an emergency. Your board makes its decisions by voting on each and every issue that is presented to the Board of Directors. As in any committee or board majority rules. 

If you have any questions or comments on this subject or any other matter please feel free to contact the Board in writing or attend an Association meeting.
