Board of Directors

Dear Association Members:

 

The Association’s Board of Directors (“Board”) consulted with the Association’s corporate counsel to prepare the attached Enforcement Policy and Schedule of Fines (“Fine Policy”) for Diablo Highlands Country Villas Owners’ Association, to comply with changes in California law regarding fines that became effective on July 1, 2025.  The Board intends to adopt the proposed Fine Policy at the open meeting on January 28, 2026 at 6:30 p.m., at the clubhouse, 441 Glasgow Circle.  

 

The purpose and effect of the Fine Policy are to comply with Civil Code sections 5850 and 5855, to streamline the enforcement process, and to provide the Board with clearer and better options to levy fines or impose other discipline when there are violations of the Association’s project documents.  

 

All members are encouraged to attend the Board meeting and to provide comments concerning the proposed Fine Policy. Comments regarding the proposed Fine Policy may be submitted to the Community Manager, Stacey Lint at Slint@hoaservices.net by January 21, 2026 or at the Board meeting.  The Board will consider all member comments before voting on adoption of the Fine Policy.  

 

Very truly yours,

 

Management on behalf of

Diablo Highlands Residents, 

 

Thank you for another fun swim year. With cooler weather around the corner and some rain in the forecast for next week, the Board has decided to shut down the heat for the pool on October 15. The pool will remain open for any brave swimmers until October 31. 

 

Thank you to everyone for following the pool rules this year and stay tuned for opening date 2026!

 

Thanks, 

Management on behalf of

The Town of Danville has seen an massive increase in the amount of e-bike usage throughout the town, on the Iron Horse Trail, and that is expected to increase further with school traffic just around the corner. Even in our neighborhood we've seen e-bikes used on our walking trail and want to make sure all parents and kids are educated on what requirements there are for different class bikes and general e-bike safety. 

 

The Town has a plethora of information available online here: Not My Kid: E-Bike Safety for Families | Danville Town Talks  

 

And has the below infographic to help parents determine whether their kids are allowed to ride different e-bikes and where those bikes may be ridden:

 

The HOA annual fiscal year is coming to a close on June 30 with a new dues amount beginning on July 1, 2025 as shared in the Annual Budget Package and Policy Statement. 

 

Effective July 1, 2025, dues will increase to $195 per month. This adjustment is necessary to cover rising insurance premiums, proposed EBMUD and PG&E rate increases and contract costs to ensure that we can continue maintaining the amenities that enhance our community.

 

Please remember if you are not currently set up on the Association's automatic clearing house (ACH) through our designated bank, you will need to update your auto-pay information independently. 

 

Updating your auto-pay information will depend on where you signed up. If you signed up through your bank, you will need to log into your account and update the amount, usually called “automatic bill pay”. If you signed up through the Management portal, you will need to log into your account at www.hoaservices.net/portal and update the payment through the MAKE A PAYMENT option. Lastly, if you have autopay directly through Alliance Association Bank, you will need to log in there to update your payment amount. 

 

If you pay your dues via check, dues should be mailed to the below address to arrive by the 1st of each month (note payments are late after the 15th)

Please note that members who fail to update their auto-pay information may receive late fees for failing to keep their account current. It is crucial to act promptly and make the necessary adjustments before July 1, 2025.

 

We greatly appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. 

For years the Management office has heard reports of traffic concerns throughout the community, ranging from parking complaints, speeding, rolling through stop signs, failure to yield for pedestrians, and more. Recently the Association reached out to the Town of Danville about possible traffic calming measures through the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (“NTMP”).  

 

The first step of the NTMP is to measure traffic speeds and volume in the community. We had this completed over the course of a week or two at three different locations in the community on Glasgow Circle, all midway between stop signs. The placement was chosen to avoid slowing speeds near the stop signs (both prior to and after the stop signs).  The radars were placed at points which the Town Engineer believed would see the highest speeds in order to obtain a good understanding of the speeds of drivers in the community.

 

We have attached the full results of the radar deployment for any interested homeowners; however simplified, the average speeds and the 85th percentile speeds were at or below the speed limit for all three radar locations. Average speeds ranged from 17 to 21 MPH with the 85th percentile speeds between 22 to 25 MPH. 

 

In general this is good news. The vast majority of traffic in the community is at or below posted speed limits and the Town Transportation Analysts found traffic to be appropriate. That being said, we live in a residential neighborhood with a lot of children, dog walkers, and pedestrians abound; please be conscious of your speed in the community, come to full stops at the Stop Signs, and yield to pedestrians. 

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the Management Office.
