Work will commence from the top of the list starting with 5 Marbella through to the bottom of the list with 8-10 Galicia. We cannot confirm an exact date for work or alter the schedule.

Homeowners of Phase 6 should inform renters and also be sure to remove furniture, etc. that will be in the way of roofing debris and dust.

If you have locked gates, you should make arrangements to have them open so your work can be completed.

It has been brought to our attention that the link to the directory@ssrchoa.com email address in the last eblast was not connected properly and has now been fixed. We are getting a good response to ensure that the information in the 2020 directory is correct. 

Please note that the attached document is a “working copy” and that the formatting will be added during the next stage of production of the directory.

Your Help is Still Needed!

Please click here to review your listing for the 2020 directory.

The working copy of the directory has been updated with the changes received to date and we are once again asking for your help to ensure the information is correct by checking your listing.

How to Review Your Listing

1. Open this link to see an updated preview of the directory. (Please note that this has not been formatted).
2. When you review your contact information you need to look in two places: the alphabetical listing in the first section of the directory and by street address at the end.
3. 

If there are multiple owners with different last names, there will be a listing for each in the alphabetical section so please check all of them.
4. If any changes are required they must be submitted by Sunday, February 9 at 6:00 p.m. by email to directory@ssrchoa.com.

The preparation of the directory has been very challenging as most of the records for previous issues were inaccurate and/or unavailable. We have worked to compile information from Desert Resort Management as well as the information from our Silver Sands website.

Thank you for your attention in making sure your information is correct. If you have any changes or questions please send them to directory@ssrchoa.com as soon as possible.

Silver Sands Homeowners

Over the past year the Maintenance Committee, with the concurrence of the Board, has been investigating the condition of all the roofs in the entire complex. The Board was presented with the results of this inspection at the August 19th meeting. This resulted in the Maintenance Committee doing a thorough inspection by reviewing the work of several different roofing contractors, review by a roofing consultant, and discussions with other HOA's that have roofs with similar ages to ours. The inspections on each roof examined the various roof penetrations for venting and plumbing vents, tile and underlayment condition, and blocking for pests. Our roofs are currently 27 to 33 years old and either exceeding or fast approaching the useful life of the underlayment.  

Based on the recommendations and analysis from roofers, consultants, and the Maintenance Committee, the Board has decided to enter into preliminary negations with a roofing contractor to reset our tile and replace all of our roof underlayment with two layers of 40# felt and new metal flashing. The flat roofs will be replaced in year 10 of the contract. If we go forward, this will bring our roofs into compliance with the new building codes and extend the life of the roofs well into the future and hopefully eliminate leaking problems other communities have been experiencing. The cost for this program, excluding the 10 or so roofs already replaced, will be approximately $200,000. per year over a 10 year period and represents the most favorable competitive bids obtained with fixed pricing for the term of the contract. This contract also makes provisions for servicing roofs that may experience leaks prior to their replacement sequence on very favorable terms to the Association.

As part of our comprehensive reserve analysis, the finance committee is working out the details to determine if and how we need to supplement our existing roofing reserves to pay for these needed upgrades. The finance committee will be making funding recommendations to the Board as part of this year's reserve analysis.

As a corollary to this issue, a few owners have indicated an interest in exploring solar panels. It is probably a good idea to defer any decision until the new roof is installed. An annual schedule of roof replacement will be available after the first of the year.
