We are pleased to be in a position to publish the list of addresses that are subject to assessment for the purposes of calculating the annual maintenance fees.

The Board of Directors of the Sandyport Homeowners Association met at a Board Meeting on December 11, 2010 and set the Association’s Annual Assessment Fee for 2011 at $2.75 per square foot.
The 2011 budget is attached and the changes will take effect from January 1, 2011, to be billed in December 2010.
We are also pleased to confirm that there will be a number of payment options available:
1. Payment in full by January 15th for the 2011 assessment will receive a 3% discount, which can be deducted at the time of payment.
2. Monthly – due on the first day of each calendar month, commencing January 2011.
3. Quarterly – due on the first day of January, April, July and October.
4. Half yearly – due on the first day of January and July.
You will receive your 2011 assessment invoice in full later this month and be able to select your payment options at that time.
We have added painting requests to the tools available on this website.
The option is available under the new ‘Tools’ menu which now contains the most popular tools used by Sandyport residents.
We have previously informed residents that we have expanded our pest control coverage by adding more rodent bait stations. The bait stations contain a block of poison that is skewered on to a spike located inside a compartment inside the bait station box. For safety reasons, they are designed to be tamper proof so that children and domestic animals cannot access the poison.
However, it has been brought to our attention that poison pellets (not used by the pest control contractor) have been placed in and around the bait stations. These are potentially hazardous if ingested and also undermines the safety precautions we have taken with our pest control. Should anybody witness poison being placed on any common areas, please report it immediately to the Association which reserves the right to bring criminal charges against offenders.
Following a review of our security requirements, the Board of Directors has determined that all service workers must enter the property via the service entrance (also known as the Eastern gate). This policy applies for pedestrian workers and those in vehicles. The only exception applies to pre-registered female pedestrian employees (such as maids, cleaners & childminders) who will continue to be permitted entry at the main gate. The service entrance is equipped with a new visitor control system that requires service workers to wear a visitor identification badge whilst on the property.
The Board of Directors has determined that water shall be charged at the rate of $0.026 per gallon in order to eliminate the losses incurred through it’s provision of water. The Association presently purchases water at the higher commercial rate and the Directors are attempting to have Water & Sewerage Corp. reconsider the billing structure with a view to a reduction. If successful, the water charges to all homeowners will be adjusted at that time. The new rate becomes effective January 1, 2011.
Water consumption shall also be billed quarterly in advance based on estimated consumption and adjusted each quarter. The next water billing cycle takes place in December and will include a further line item for estimated consumption for the next 3 months. Therefore, the bill will show the present quarter’s consumption at the present rate of $0.0186 per gallon (less a credit for interim charges) and the next quarter’s estimated consumption, at the new rate. The $5 meter reading charge, which was historically added to the consumption, will no longer apply.
The Board of Directors of the Sandyport Homeowners Association met at a Board Meeting on November 29, 2010 and confirmed that the Association’s Annual Assessment Fee for 2010 of $2.75 per square foot was appropriate based on the 2009 accounts and 2010 budget, a copy of which is attached.
Accordingly we hereby formally provide notice that this Assessment Fee shall be deemed valid for the 2010 period.
