Special BPHOA Election Meeting on August 17th

At the Special Election meeting for the CC&R Admendment there was a fair amount of discussion about the Blanket Utility Easement in the Amendment that some are concerned with. One person said she had consulted with her attorney and they were not concerned about it. Others were not comfortable with it.

A total of 387 ballots were turned in and there were also 15 proxies for a total of 402 votes. Since we needed a minimum of 420 votes, there were not enough to start counting. A motion was made to extend the voting date to September 15th. It was Seconded and the members present at the meeting approved it. The next general homeowner meeting will now be on September 15th at 7:00 p.m. at the at the Junkyard Café “Garage Room”, 2585 Cochran Street. A lot more votes are needed to get a good decision for this amendment, please start talking with your neighbors that haven’t voted and encourage them to vote now and urge them to vote YES for the amendment.

President Corey Baker also announced that we can continue to mail ballots to Ballot Box during this time. If you haven’t yet mailed your ballot, please send them right away so your choice will count. Mail it no later than September 8th to insure timely delivery. The post office is taking as much as five days to deliver mail. You can still bring your ballot to the meeting but it’s easier to mail it in the prepaid envelope. Also, to have your ballot picked up and delivered to the September 15th meeting, call (805) 206-3519 for pick up.

If you or any of your neighbors have misplaced their ballot, they can get a replacement by emailing Ballot Box at [email protected] with their request. The request will need to include:

• The complete name of the homeowner
• The complete name, Bridle Path Homeowner’s Association
• The property address
• Address where the replacement should be mailed (if different than the property)

Another option is to obtain a proxy. You can call (805) 206-3519 to get a proxy sent or delivered to you, along with instructions for its use.

Remember a YES vote will allow the HOA to correct the many landscape areas the City says need to be repaired over a period of years with budgeted expenditures. A no vote will likely cause the City to demand immediate restoration of the areas they say are in a state of decay. This could result in a huge special assessment and/or a dues increase to all homeowners.
