Sunset Bay POA - 2012 Annual Assessments and News

The Sunset Bay board has decided to extend the 2012 annual assessment due date two weeks from March 1, 2012 to March 15, 2012 due to the 2012 annual assessment invoices being mailed out later than intended and to make up for the short notice some property owners may receive. Most property owners should be receiving the assessment invoice about now. Some property owners have already sent in payments early. Please make every effort to mail in your 2012 annual assessment of $295.00 by March 15.
There is a Sunset Bay calendar card enclosed in each invoice, please note there is an error on the Sunset Bay mailing address zip code which should be "77903".
The board has approved a bid to construct a concrete parking area, concrete access road, and concrete walkway leading from the parking area to the entrance of the fishing pier as a needed improvement in the common area. Details are being finalized with the contractor now and should be starting work within a week. More information later.
Also we are excited to see a new home construction that is already in progress at 107 Dockside Dr. ( Blk 3, Lot 28 ) owned by Tim and Rosa Raub. It will be a very welcomed addition and sure that Tim and Rosa Raub are excited as well.
Please be aware that the board has waived new home application processing fees until 6/30/2012. We want to see more new homes starting up.
We are aware of HB 2761 that has passed recently by the Texas Legislature effecting all Texas property owner associations with some changes summarized below:

·         Open HOA Meetings 
·         Mandatory records retention policy for all Texas HOAs of over 14 lots
·         Open access to records by written request
·         Mandatory election for a new board, if an HOA fails to call a regular meeting
·         Requires meetings be held in the same county as the HOA
·         Establishes HOA cannot foreclose for fees owed for requests for records
·         Eliminates certain rules which restrict voting rights and the right to run for the board of HOA’s
We will make available a brief summary with more detailed information in near future.
Please send any questions you might have in to the board by using the POA email info@sunsetbaypoa.org or contacting one of the board members on the website contact page.
Thank you.
