Javier explained that we (HOA) are now responsible for total upkeep of the cluster mailboxes. We have replaced the 20 plus year old boxes and overall, everyone has been pleased with the new boxes.

Javier indicated that he does not expect an increase In HOA fees unless the landscaping bids are higher than expected. The results will be communicated by end of the year.
