Annual Election
One person submitted the required paperwork before the January 23 deadline and will be on the ballot. See candidate statement on Electon page. There are two RDTA Board of Directors positions for term March 2012 thru February 2014. The election will be at the February 28 RDTA Annual Meeting.
Watch your mail for the special elections materials. Guard your ballot and and two envelopes carefully, as there are no replacements if lost.
You can mail in your ballot or bring in person to the February 28 Annual Meeting.
New Cardkeys
Each unit is entitled to one cardkey that provides access to the pool area, the tennis courts area, and the two rest rooms at the pool area. RDTA is updating the technology for this system and the locks. The OWNER for each unit will need to show the old cardkey to receive the new cardkey. This process will start at the February 28 Annual Meeting. For those who are not at the February 28 meeting, follow up opportunities for picking up new cardkeys will be March 4 and 11 at the pool area between 11:00am and 1:00pm. After that you will need to schedule an appointment with the on-site liaison by calling (714) 779-2084.
We urge you to locate your cardkey NOW and have handy. If you cannot locate your old cardkey, there will be a $50 fee involved to get a new cardkey.
Absentee owners who live out of the area may provide their tenant with a signed note of authorization that the owner is granting permission for the tenant to pick up the new cardkey.
The process for picking up a new cardkey will require the owner (or adult representative of owner with note of authorization) to show photo ID and the old cardkey registered for that unit, receive the new cardkey, and sign a document verifying that the new cardkey was received.
You will use your old cardkey until the switchover day of March 12. As of that date, the old cardkeys will no longer work.
New Parking/ Fire Lane Entrance Signs
Have you noticed the new combined parking/fire lane signs at the two Ramona entrances to our complex? They are posted on city street light poles. These two new signs legally inform you and visitors entering RDTA of the vehicle parking regulations.
You can celebrate with us in late January when we remove the 17 old, unsightly parking and fire lane signs currently at the entrances to each of the RDTA private streets. What an improvement the removal of these signs will be for the aesthetics of our community. Remember that the two new entrance signs legally replace these multiple old signs throughout the complex.
These new combined parking/fire lane entrance signs are not a small matter. The project took two year of diligent work and coordination with multiple governmental agencies to get approval for this improvement to our community.
