  • PREHA's 2008 budget was presented at the association's annual meeting held on October 16, 2007.  The budget adopted by the Board calls for a $100 increase in the annual homeowner dues for 2008.  In the last ten years, since the current $500 dues were originally set, there has been an increase in the  cost of living of approximately 32%.  The increase in the annual dues is only 20%!  Additional information regarding this years P&L statement and  2008 budget  will be mailed to all members of the association in the next couple of weeks.  Under our covenants the budget and increased assesment  will take effect unless the budget is rejected by 51% of eligible voting members.

  • There was no need for an election for PREHA's Board of Directors for 2008.  There were only two individual who expressed an interest in running for a seat on the Board, and two Board members agreed to step down from the Board to make room for "new blood."  Gary Cramond and Rene DeRojas stepped down, while Alice Ivy and Lee Taulton will join the remaining Board members in January  2008.  Congratulations and thank you to Alice and Lee for stepping up to the plate, and thank you  Gary and Rene for your years of service to PREHA.
