As the fiscal year comes to an end, one thing has
become clear at Crown Colony: communication and
transparency matter. Since 2025, these have been key
priorities for the Board, and this budget season marked
an important step forward for the community.
The Board worked hard to address the association’s
financial challenges while finding ways to maintain
HOA dues without increasing costs to homeowners.
Many residents have noticed the positive changes
happening throughout the property, and the Board hopes
this progress continues.
Treasurer Jahan Panah and Board Member Chris
Ruperto shared updates from the Budget Committee
regarding their review of the association’s finances.
Chris Ruperto reminded homeowners that the current
Board members are still learning and gaining
experience, but are fully committed to improving the
community. Through teamwork and careful planning,
the Budget Committee was pleased to announce that
HOA dues could remain unchanged.
Jahan Panah also shared that a full inventory review was
requested to help ensure association funds are being
spent responsibly. In addition, the Board approved
hiring two additional groundsmen to assist with
community upkeep while maintenance staff continues
handling daily repairs and projects.
The Board is also exploring new ways to increase HOA
revenue without raising dues. Ideas discussed included
clubhouse rentals, parking space rentals, and
encouraging more residents to attend Board meetings
and share suggestions.
Vice President Phillip Carrion addressed ongoing
safety concerns raised by residents. He shared that
security has become one of the community’s biggest
concerns and announced plans to install security
cameras throughout the property, including
mailrooms, garages, and streets. The goal is to help
reduce theft, improve safety, and protect resident
privacy. Residents will also be able to report incidents
near camera locations for review by the Board and
HOA Management.
The Board also addressed concerns regarding wildlife
feeding within the community. Board Member
Gabriel Gasca shared that feeding wildlife has caused
damage to building exteriors and has increased
wildlife activity near homes, cars, and entryways.
Residents are encouraged not to feed wildlife, as it
creates dependency on humans and can contribute to
rodent issues throughout the property.
The meeting ended on a hopeful note, with the Board
reminding residents that these are volunteer positions
and that every effort being made is for the benefit of
the entire community. While there is still work ahead,
the Board believes better things are coming for Crown
Colony.
