Dear Cinco2 Residents,
On January 18th we held the first HOA Board Meeting for 2023. Below are a few of the items discussed.
2023 Board Members: Our Treasurer for 2022, Hayden Arnold, turned in his resignation from the HOA Board for personal reasons. The Board has to appoint a resident to complete the vacant seat term. The Board appointed Lindsay Giesy to the vacated seat. Lindsay received the next highest votes in the latest Board elections. We appreciate Hayden’s time on the board, his expertise in financial and auditing has been invaluable.
- Donnie Loubiere - President
- Bill Hedberg - Vice President
- Brett Butterfield - Secretary
- Lindsay Giesy - Director
- Haleigh Garret - Treasurer
- Keith Lehtinen - Assistant Treasurer
- Sunil Shalia - Director
Wealth Management Company: The CRRA2 reserve funds are currently invested in FDIC insured Laddered CD’s with CIT Bank. The Board has approved the process to begin moving the reserves from CIT Bank to Fidelity, while still investing in FDIC insured CD’s. The available interest rates are higher than CIT Bank could offer. The board goal is to invest about 90% of the available funds in Laddered CD’s but not higher than 95%. We hope to capitalize on the recent interest rate increases to help off set inflation.
Real Manage Personnel Change: We have a new General Manager for Real Manage. Arianna Luna has replaced Cathy Jensen, whom resigned at the end of the year. Arianna has been with Real Manage for about 4 years, she was previously at Pine Mill Ranch.
Web Sites: We currently have 2 web sites servicing our community: mycincoranch.com and www.ciranet.com. The old web site, “mycincoranch.com”, which is owned by the HOA, contains information about events, documents, forms, and other information. The new website, “ciranet.com” is Real Manage site for paying assessments, requesting
modification to your home, violation information and other notices. If you have not registered on “ciranet”, we encourage you to do so. You may need to contact the staff in the Lake House to receive some codes to register. One of our goals this year is to link the web sites together to make it more user friendly.
Landscaping: The recent hard freeze and high winds caused a lot of damage to our landscaping. Some shrubs will be left alone until there is little chance of another freeze. The dead leaves can act as an insulation if another freeze occurs. Lantana, Dianella, Jasmine and Knock Out Roses will come back as the weather warms. Winter color plants are dead, but will replace with spring color plants in a few weeks.
There seems to be an increase in home break ins recently. We encourage neighbors to watch out for each others property and to always secure the house when you’re away.
Donnie Loubiere
President
