To preserve IronOaks as a desirable adult community that provides an active adult lifestyle for all Homeowners to enjoy for generations to come.

These are just a few of the subjects covered, so please don’t miss anything and read this very important newsletter in full.

• Trash Service Decided
• CC&R Vote... What Is It?

The community is getting busy, and residents are beginning to venture out. John reviews upcoming events going on around the community.

Watch now!

61.15% of our residents are still waiting to vote! IronOaks has four ways to fund these improvements. The vote currently in front of our residents poses one option to pay for community improvements that involves the FACE fund. This fund is paid into by new Homeowners when they buy a new home, and is not funded by current residents as an assessment. Please read to learn about all the funding options:

1. New Homeowner Assessment (FACE Fund) is paid only when you buy a home in IronOaks, at the time of closing. The vote currently in front of homeowners is asking you to consider increasing the amount a new homeowner pays at home closing. The amount being considered is twice the current HOA annual assessment.This is the present CC&R we are voting on now!*
2. Borrowing from a bank and using FACE money to repay the loan
3. Special Assessment to current homeowners.
4. Increase the Annual HOA assessment to current homeowners.

There are three parts to this ballot. The second gives current homeowners as of 1/1/2022 a one-time exemption from paying this special assessment (if not used previously) should they decide to buy another home in IronOaks.

Lastly, the Board can decrease this New Homeowner Special Assessment by a vote at a Board meeting. Any increase in the FACE beyond the 2 times the Board is asking for would need to go to a vote of homeowners (not Board members) and would be decided by the majority of votes cast.

The vote is open now! If you did not receive your voting instructions, email [email protected].

Need a paper ballot? They are available at the Concierge desk Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 5:00pm.

We had a total of thirty-two comment cards: four were positive, one was negative, and twenty-seven were neutral. In summary, many comments came in regarding landscaping. The negative comment came in for the pappardelle pasta lacking broccolini and sausage.  Positives included Michelle’s bartending and being able to anticipate our residents needs. Golf and Landscaping received some positive feedback.

Neutral comments included trash and landscaping, with bushes needing trimming and walkways needing attention. While the landscaping team works to complete overseed during the short window of opportunity when the nights are not too cool and the winter seed will germinate, some areas may be postponed for attention.

If you have a landscaping request or comment, please feel free to fill out a comment card, here.
