End of Year Note from the MIA Board – Community Events, Repairs, and 2026 Dues

Holiday season has arrived again, along with lots of house decorations and lights. This year’s Halloween night seemed as busy as ever, and a good number of folks attended the Tent or Treat.

The Diwali celebration in early November was a fun and festive evening celebrating our entire community coming together. 

On a Facilities front, the big thing this year has been the long awaited pool remodel. It’s taken a bit longer than we’d hoped for to get all the permits signed off, and we did find a few cracks in the concrete shell that needed to be fixed – but the upgrades are done, the concrete deck is complete, it has been plastered and filled and we’re resolving some of the last few issues. 

Roll on Summer 2026!

After that’s done – there will be some landscaping and fencing work to do, and then we can turn our attention to the rest of the site. Still lots to do!

Architectural Approval

Regarding improvements of a different sort – I’d like to remind you about the Architectural Approval form on the website. Please note that our CC&Rs require homeowners to submit changes for approval by the Architectural Committee prior to starting any home improvement work. It’s pretty simple and quick.

New Clubhouse and Pool Manngers

At the start of the year, we found two great new facilities managers – Lilian and Julie (https://miahomeowners.com/contact-the-pool-clubhouse-managers/)

 They’ve done a fantastic job managing all the clubhouse bookings, site maintenance, and also ran a very successful summer schedule of Lawn activities to compensate for the lack of pool. Thank you Lilian and Julie for your hard work this year.

Annual Dues – Look for the Invoice by Email Dec 1

Annual Dues As we have discussed in a few Community meetings over the recent years, annual dues will increase in line with the CPI (2.7% this year). It will be $1002 (2.2% increase) this year, and you’ll find all the paperwork in your end of year packet. If you find that too much to stomach in one hit – there are the usual biannual, quarterly, and monthly payment plans. For those of you already using them – please remember to update the autopay details in hbcpay to account for the 2026 dues.

CORRECTION: Dues payments will be due January 1, 2026 and considered late if received after January 31, 2026. If you would prefer a physical copy of the annual packet send a message to the board.

Our first Board meeting of 2026 will be at the Clubhouse at 7pm on February 10th. If you want to learn about what’s going on, or help out – we hope to see you then. If you’re interested in serving on the Board – we’d love hear from you before the 1st January.

Happy Holidays and best wishes for next year, 

Your board

Tom Winton, President

Paul Sims, Vice President

Ron Blumstein, Treasurer

Ben Seiden, Secretary

Key Fobs & Gate Access

The vendor that manages the key fob access system to the clubhouse lawn and pool is set to substantially increase prices from about $139 per month to $800 per month. The price increase has been initially set for December 1, but the vendor has not sent an official confirmation. At the last member meeting we discussed options and are looking to switch vendors or move to a license-free solution that does not require a subscription. As a result, we will likely be cancelling the current subscription which may cause interruption of clubhouse access during December and January. Once the board has more information, we will let you know and work on solutions to provide continued access to the pickleball court and lawn area.
