Eldorado at Santa Fe

Fellow ECIA Members

Eldorado went nearly a decade without raising the assessment. During this period ECIA fell behind in maintaining the amenities and building up the reserve fund which enables the ECIA to handle unexpected repairs and emergencies without special assessments.

Accordingly, assessments were raised in 2010 and will be raised again in 2012, accompanied by a reduction in expenses. In order to maintain the amenities and maintain adequate financial reserves, under our “Securing Our Future” plan that was announced in the December ’11 Vistas.”

The ECIA Board of Directors is aware that the current economic recession has a negative impact on many residents, and any increase in the assessment can be a hardship. When considering the amenities, we also believe it is important to consider the wishes of the general community.

In order to help the board make the best possible decisions, we request that you complete this survey of your views of our amenities.

Thank You

Ed Moreno, ECIA Board Chairman
