Transition from Self-Managed to Part-Time Professional Management (Coast to Coast Association Mgmt)
Our community has reached a point where self-management no longer works. Recognizing when to make the switch will save our board from unnecessary stress and protect our HOA’s financial health. For violations or ARC forms see: https://comwebportal.com or call Ashley Moore (321) 352-6278. Her email is Amoore@FLCoastMgt.com 
 
Here are a few signs our HOA is ready to transition:
     1-Increased workload: Administrative and maintenance tasks can exceed what volunteers can manage effectively.
     2-Frequent compliance issues: Missing deadlines or failing to meet reporting requirements could expose our HOA to penalties.
     3-Budget complexity: HOAs require detailed accounting and reserve planning.
     4-High board turnover: Burnout among board members often indicates that the responsibilities have become too demanding.
 
Transitioning to part-time professional management allows our HOA to benefit from structured systems, professional expertise, and dedicated support. With a management partner in place, board members can refocus their energy on long-term goals.
 
A part-time professional manager will also assist with the transition process by evaluating our current systems, setting up efficient workflows, and ensuring that financial and maintenance records are properly organized. This creates a smoother handoff and ensures no important details are lost in the process.

We hope this letter finds you well. As we look ahead to 2026, we are reaching out with an important and urgent request that directly impacts the continued well-being and success of Shangrila Village. The heart of any thriving community is its volunteer leadership, and we are currently facing a critical situation regarding the composition of the 2026 Shangrila Village HOA Board of Directors.

 

The current Board members are dedicated volunteers who have served our community faithfully. However, some of us may be stepping down at the end of the year. We are in immediate need of homeowners to nominate themselves to serve on the Board.

In particular, the community is facing a critical gap in leadership for the most vital position: HOA Board President.

 

The HOA Board, and especially the President, ensures the smooth and effective operation of our village. Without a fully staffed Board, and a strong President in place, our community faces significant challenges, including:

• Financial Instability: Risk of difficulty approving budgets and managing assessments.
• Maintenance Delays: Potential slowdown in approving necessary repairs, managing vendor contracts, and maintaining our common areas (like the pond, mailboxes and landscaping).
• Loss of Community Vision: A lack of leadership to plan for our community's future and address homeowner concerns effectively.

We Need You to Lead

While the thought of serving on the Board might seem intimidating, we want to assure you that it is an incredibly rewarding and essential role. It's your chance to directly influence the direction of Shangrila Village, ensure the protection of your home investment, and help keep our community a wonderful place to live.

The current Board is committed to providing a thorough transition and training for all new members, offering guidance on the bylaws, financial matters, and general operations. You won't be starting from scratch!

 
What to Do Next

We urgently ask you to consider nominating yourself for a position on the 2026 HOA Board, with a emphasis on the role of President.

If you are passionate about our community, possess organizational or leadership skills, or simply want to learn more about how you can contribute, please reach out now!

To express your interest, learn more about the roles, or nominate yourself, please reply to this email or call Sandy Matheney at 386-679-0537 immediately.

The deadline for nominations is end of the day on Thursday, November 6. Please don't wait—the future of Shangrila Village depends on dedicated volunteers like you stepping forward.

 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this critical matter.

 

 

Our covenants require that when trash cans aren't at the end of your driveway for collection, they have to be stored in a manner that they cannot be seen.  They must be in your garage or, if at the side of your house, screened from view by fencing or shrubbery.  Most owners and their tenants comply with this rule by pulling the trash can into the garage, or by storing it behind tall plants or fencing.  But unfortunately, too many of us do not follow this rule; so beginning October 1st, we will begin to more rigously enforce the covenant. This will give folks time to install screens or clear out a space in their garages. 

 

NEW BENCH BY POND
 
The City of Edgewater has kindly replaced the bench by the pond with a new, modern, and more aesthetically attractive bench.  This was at no cost to Shangri La Village. After hurricane season, the Board hopes to add some low maintenance shrubs to improve the look even more.  Stop by for a visit! 
 
SCREENING AROUND THE PUMP STATION
 
By now, most of you have seen the unsightly pump station in the front yard of a property on Shangri La Village.  This was installed by the City without any notice to Shangri La Village.  After much effort, the City finally agreed to install fast growing shrubbery to screen the station.  The City removed the grass, installed lawnscape paper and mulch before planting the shrubs.  By next summer, they should be tall enough to screen most of the pump.
