Blaine Bond’s digest of HOA Two’s February 2025 newsletter: what the board and staff decided, in plain words, with the source linked at the end. Not the association’s own text.
The short version
What changed in February 2025
- Larry Santora is the 2025 board president, with Chuck Kill as vice president, Brad Nickum as treasurer and Sheri Grupe as secretary.
- The HOA closed 2024 with $254,426 of operating income before depreciation on $7.78 million in dues, 2.7 % more dues than 2023.
- Golf lost $905,500 and the restaurants $440,313 in 2024, both better than 2023 but worse than budget.
- Roughly $500,000 of 2025 reserve money is earmarked to refresh the MountainView Clubhouse, and Ray Kuhn was promoted to General Manager.
- Patrol wrote 162 speeding and 36 stop-sign citations in 2024; a federal 55+ age survey goes to every home in February.
- Updated ALC guidelines were out for resident review through January 20, 2025.
What it means for buyers
Dues covered every amenity loss in 2024 with $254,426 left over before depreciation, and the biggest drag (golf) is shrinking. The 55+ survey is routine and keeps the community’s age-restricted status, which protects the lifestyle buyers are paying for.
