This land once belonged to the HOA but was sold to the Water District several years ago to keep the HOA autonomous with regards to it’s ability to disband and dissolve if that becomes the majority desire of the membership. The Water District now wishes to sell the land. Several young families within the HOA desire a park or improved open space of some sort and so it has been proposed by some to re-acquire the land with the intent to improve it for community use. A purchase such as this must be approved by a 2/3 majority membership vote in accordance with the HOA By-Laws.
