A Vision 2025 Infrastructure Plan section has been added to our website to support this process. Vision 2025 is a five-year infrastructure plan designed to ensure the preservation and improvement of our property and substantially reduce maintenance costs. All the documents relevant to this process will be added to this section of the website as they become available.

The new Vision 2025 page can be found on the top main menu under the HOA tab.

Please note: Desert Resort Management will be distributing documents and announcements related to the Vision 2025 process via email to all homeowners.

Conditions permitting, in the next several days community member Greg Hine will be flying a photo drone over the mid-numbered addresses on Galicia as part of the inspection and documentation of our roofs, gutters and pools. Flights generally take place mid-day, and could be postponed due to wind, weather, or other issues which might arise. There is nothing you need to do to prepare for these flights, this is just a “heads up”.

This flight is at the direction of the Board of Directors. Please be aware that the taking off, operating or landing of “drones” (small, unmanned, remote controlled vehicles, UAS’s, UAV’s, RC aircraft, etc) is not permitted in the community without specific permission from the Board of Directors.    

If you have any questions or comments, please contact Greg at: greghine@gmail.com / 303-956-2119

Board of Directors

Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to serve on a committee. Committees are an important part of Silver Sands. Some of them help to keep the HOA functioning smoothly while others build community by fostering social interactions. All provide opportunities for teamwork, problem solving and creativity.

If you are looking at options for a good fit, the table below highlights the major responsibility for each committee. Interest in a particular area is more important than experience and training is provided. Also, many of the committees meet via Zoom or conduct business mostly by email so “away” owners can still volunteer and participate.
 

Due to COVID-19 restrictions the annual committee signup is being done online this year. The committee chairs and members are appointed by the board following the annual meeting, set for Feb. 20. Remember, you must sign up even if you are currently on a committee.  Send your name, contact information (phone, alternate phone and email) and name of committee(s) to feedback@ssrchoa.com by Feb. 15. If you are willing to serve as the chair of a committee, please include this as well.

We have arranged to have three tables on the clubhouse patio. They will be arranged six feet apart to meet social distance requirements. If you use the patio, please observe the following Riverside County rules:

• Masks and physical distancing required.
• No more than three separate households may attend (including the hosts).
• Gatherings should be two hours or less.
• Those with COVID symptoms must not attend.
• Those at high risk of severe illness are strongly encouraged not to attend.
• Singing, shouting, chanting, cheering, or exercising strongly discouraged.

Board President.

Silver Sands is featured in the February edition of Quorum, the Community Association Institute (CAI) magazine. The article was prepared by Marilyn Ramos who works for one of the Association’s business partners. The photographer, Rodney Bissell, expressed appreciation for our ample green space and the variations in topography which are atypical for the area and make Silver Sands very photogenic.

Also in the magazine is the questionnaire for the Medallion Community Program which details all of the areas that are important in the successful management and growth of a community. If you ever wondered about what is involved, this list of questions will provide some answers. In particular it reflects the amount of work that is performed by the board, committees and management firm working together towards the common goal of a top-notch community.
