New Parking Lot in Common Area Completed

The Sunset Bay POA board is very pleased to announce the new concrete road, parking lot, and sidewalk to the Sunset Bay members fishing pier is completed and open for use as of today 3/30/2012.
Garcia Brothers Construction out of Sinton was the selected contractor who installed the Parking area project and the quality of work is excellent. If anyone is needing concrete work or general construction work done, you can contact Joe Garcia (owner) at 361-765-3246.

This is the first improvement needed in the common area so property owners can have access and parking when wanting to go out on the fishing pier to fish and / or view the spectacular Sunrise and Sunsets.
Also Sunset Bay community members Tim and Rosa Raub are nearing completion of their new home at 107 Dockside Dr. and is a very welcomed sight of new home construction. We are so excited and can't wait until it is finished.

Everyone is doing much better this year getting their annual POA dues in. Please try to get these in as soon as possible if you have not sent in the dues payment yet.
Also the POA board is open to any suggestions to improvements so send these in by the POA email address so the board can review them.
We are looking forward to a very good summer here in the coastal bend area, so come on down and visit, there are so many things to do here in the Rockport area.
The local Jackrabbits were out by the parking lot and ducks were on the pond in the common area.

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.

Sunset Bay Annual Members Meeting News

Hi All
The 2011 Sunset Bay Annual Members meeting was called to order and convened yesterday evening in Rockport, TX at the Woman's Club of Aransas Pass. The minutes of the meeting will be posted soon on the POA website once reviewed and approved by the board.
I have resigned as President of Property Owners Association of Sunset Bay, Inc. but will remain on the board as "Director at Large". I have served as President of the POA Board of Directors for three years now and it is time for someone else to step up and guide the POA of Sunset Bay and its community to be great place to live. We have accomplished a lot of positive things in growing as a self managed POA despite a stagnant economy and look forward to good things to happen soon to jump start some new home construction within the Sunset Bay community.
Vice-President Debbie Otiz will be stepping up to President of the Board who is quite capable. Also Dave Kasprazak has resigned fro the board and we have Tim Raub joining the board now as Vice-President. Tim is an practicing attorney in Corpus Christi and we welcome him to the board. We want to thank Dave for his time and input while serving on the board this past year. Also I want to thank Gary Sequeira and Josh Staley for all the time and work they have put in while still serving on the board.
We will be going through a short transition phase while transferring certain responsibilities to the new President, Debbie Ortiz and updating the POA website contacts, etc.
I want to thank all the Sunset Bay property owners I have met and talked to who have supported the board and our common cause to make Sunset Bay a viable, great place to reside, and enjoy life at its fullest.
Thank you.
