Dog Area Will Be Locked After April 20
Dog owners are loving the off-leash area out by the maintenance area, but because of liability and insurance concerns the area will be locked after April 20. It's easy to get the entry code. You just fill out a waiver form and get the code.
The off-leash area allows a running area for the pups and a time to socialize with other dogs and neighbors. The area has water for dogs and a picnic table for people.
Gloria Schmid has been managing the process and led the fundraising and installation of the area. Turn in your waiver at the upcoming board meeting or drop them off at 1908 Montana Vista.
Other members of the team working on the off-leash area were: Faith Skizewski, Jim Corbett, John Migaiolo, Cindy Armstrong, David Lord, Eric Grimm, Joe Schweighardt, Gene Schuessler, and Nicole Finley

4.14.24 IF YOU'RE LEAVING, MAKE SURE YOUR CAR, TRAILERS, HITCHES ARE OFF THE ASPHALT The HOA Board will be scheduling pavement repairs likely to start in May. Pavement repairs will be done by circle with estimated completion times of two days each. Please be sure your cars are parked off pavement when repairs begin. Vehicles parked in carports and off the asphalt should not be affected, but trailer hitches extending onto the pavement will create problems as well as vehicles parked in the circle lots. Watch for updates.
4.14.24 HOA BOARD WILL RECESS DURING SUMMER, LAST MEETING THURSDAY No homeowner board meetings will be held during the summer. The last meeting of the season is 6 p.m. Thursday, at the Aquatic Center. See the 2024-2025 schedule under Announcements below.
4.10.24 ANY CONCERNS ABOUT ALLO DAMAGE OR RESTORATIONS? The HOA Board must identify any construction fixes that need to be done before the Allo crews leave. Homeowners can help by reporting any damage or incomplete restorations where Allo contractors have worked. Please email the maintenance team by May 10. Include building and circle numbers so they can be inspected and added to the “punch list,” a final work list to ensure the campus is returned to its original state from the trenching and digging to install the new fiber-optic network.
4.4.24 WATER-LEAK REPAIRS TARGETED: The Los Lagos Vistas HOA Board set policies to tackle water-system leaks expected to save time and money repairing them. The Board also listed ongoing priorities for maintenance during the summer and changed maintenance team's summer working hours.
4.4.24 BOARD OKs UPDATED ROCK POLICY: To encourage common-area upgrades, Los Lagos Vistas HOA will provide rock and approved rock selections for homeowners to use in common areas and parking circles. The HOA is working to reduce high-water use areas and cut utility costs using xeriscaping and desert landscaping, primarily with colored rock and rock designs. For specific common areas around buildings or circle parkways, rock will be provided.
Rock will be purchased and stored on site for homeowner access. Architectural requests will determine how rock will be used and if there are any shared costs. Specialty rock will not be part of what the HOA provides. The HOA also won’t provide special plants.
4.3.24 ALLO PHASE ENDING, ASPHALT BEING SCHEDULED: Allo reports that major trenching and excavation that involves asphalt, streets, and trenching should be completed in the next few days. Smaller trenching and hand-digging for fiber-optic installations will continue to complete installations over the next several weeks.
Asphalt repairs are being coordinated, which will include crack repair and sealing. If you are leaving for an extended period, please ensure your vehicle is parked in your carport to avoid damage and towing during repair. Asphalt repair is expected to take two days per circle: one for crack repair and one for sealing. Dates for asphalt repair to begin are being arranged with the contractor. Watch for updates.
3.29.24 HOA BOARD MEETING MINUTES POSTED: The HOA Board of Directors will begin addressing carport rules to determine if any rule or other changes need to be made. The action follows a series of carport complaints. The board also heard updates on Los Lagos Vistas projects, such as the Allo fiber-optic installation, pavement repairs, and other initiatives. The board also announced a first-aid heart defibrillator will be installed in the pool area in response to homeowner requests.
3.29.24 DID YOU FORGET YOUR POOL FOBS?: Many pool fobs have not been picked up. Having a fob gives you access to the pool and recreation area. Your pool keys are still needed for the bathrooms and bocce ball courts. Each homeowner receives a fob for free. Second fobs are $25 per household. Fobs will be available at the Coffee Talks the first Saturday of every month or call 928.230.4263 to arrange a pickup.
3.26.24 HOA SELECTS BUILDINGS 68 AND 77 FOR ALLO PILOT: The buildings will test the direct-line fiber-optic connection boxes for each home unit. The pilot will access appearance, access, functionality and other factors.

3.26.24 APRIL ACTIVITIES CALENDAR POSTED: Winter might be winding down, but not Los Lagos Vistas. Check out the activies and fun listed on the calendar, including a special Mimosa coffee on the first Saturday.
Please Don't Feed Wildlife
Ground feeding birds or throwing out snacks to rabbits attracts rats and mice and hungry predators, such as coyotes and bobcats. Please only feed birds from appropriate bird feeders and don't leave discarded fruit, vegetables, or meat on the grass. Residents have seen puppies snatched and killed, and successful predator hunts leave carcasses exposed attracting more vermin. Let nature do what nature does.
Allo Estimates May Completion
The company estimates "backbone" network installation of the super-fast fiber-optic network for internet, TV, and phone services should be completed in May before individual unit prewiring begins. Check out the update.
3.12.24 POLICE CAUTION ABOUT RISE IN THEFTS: The Lake Havasu City Police Department cautioned residents about increased reports of theft from vehicles and offered several tips to avoid being a theft victim for both vehicle and home theft. Check out police recommendations to deter thieves.
3.8.24 POOL CLOSING DATE EXTENDED: Initial draining and cleaning of the pool has been completed as part of pool-area upgrades. Major maintenance that will require pool closing for an extended period has been delayed until May, when the level of pool use declines.
The HOA purchased and had installed two new large circulation pumps and two commercial grade heaters for the pool as part of ongoing upgrades.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
2.26.24 HOA Board approves free kayak storage: During the recent annual meeting, the HOA Board approved two locations for free kayak storage to give homeowners and their renters a place to store watercraft. The board is waiving fees to help people comply with current regulations and maintain attractive and orderly carports. One rack is by the maintenance shed near the tennis courts and one is behind the rec area gate.
Kayak owners must provide their own security locks and covers, if desired, and register for rack space by filling out an application form. Board members will be reaching out to residents not in compliance with carport storage policies.
Completed forms should be placed in the HOA mail box near the pool or mailed to Los Logos Vistas HOA, 1700 Montana Vista, Lake Havasu City, AZ 86403.
