3. ANNUAL MEETING – CALL FOR NOMINATIONS. In preparation for our Annual Meeting we attached a nomination form in the November 2026 newsletter. The nomination form will also be included in the Annual Meeting documents that were or emailed to all Members of the Association. At each Annual Meeting there are multiple Director positions up for election or re-election. Please consider submitting your name for consideration by the membership. If that seems to large a step, consider volunteering for any one of our committees. They would be happy for any assistance you could provide.
4. FALL TREE WORK. Tree removal work will be ongoing over the next several weeks.
5. ELECTRONIC CONSENT FORMS. For Owners/Members of the Association who may not know, electronic consent forms provide the Association the ability to send certain communications to you electronically only, thereby saving us the cost of printing and mailing those documents. The form is attached in the August 2026 newsletter, is included in the Annual Meeting documents mailed/emailed to you, and is available on our website within Policy Resolution 17-04 or within the ‘Rules and Regulations’ / ‘PWCA Forms’ sub-section of the website.
6. OCTOBER 2026 COMMUNITY RULES. The Board approved updated Community Rules at the October 2026 BoD meeting. The updated Rules may be found on the website under the ‘Rules and Regulations’ sub-page. New residents to our community receive a copy when they are getting their initial set of parking permits. If you would like to have a hard copy of the Rules and are not a new resident, please email Parking@ParkWestCommunity.org and/or Communications@ParkWestCommunity.org to coordinate a time to receive a copy. Limited hard copies will also be available at the Annual Meeting in November.
7. PARK WEST PAGES, NOVEMBER 2026 EDITION. The latest edition of the Park West Pages has been released – please see the website for the document. The Communications and the Hospitality Committees each have hard copies of the edition if you’d like a printed copy. Limited hard copies will also be available at the Annual Meeting.
8. INDIVIDUAL GROUNDS CARE OFFER FROM J&J LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT, APPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Our grounds care contractor is again offering residences in our community the ability to have your private yards maintained. The care options include turf care, lawn care, and leaf removal. Please refer to the link listed above in the Seasonal Links section, just scroll down the page to the applicable information.
9. TRASH AND RECYCLING CONTAINERS. Any resident is welcome to contact Patriot Customer Service to request containers. Replacements for any containers that are lost, stolen, or damaged by any means necessary other than normal wear and tear will be provided by Patriot for a fee to be paid by the homeowner directly to Patriot.
10. COMMUNITY SECURITY. If out-of-the-ordinary events occur and you are concerned for your safety or security please notify the Police non-emergency number (703) 691-2131 to report the occurrence. While we advertise a Neighborhood Watch on our signs there has been a lack of interest in the past to actually set one up. If you are interested in participating please let me know. If we have sufficient interest we will restart the process with the County but not before we see sufficient volunteers to make the effort worthwhile. As always, please consider leaving your porch lights on throughout the night, remember to lock your vehicle doors, and notify the non-emergency number should you experience some kind of security event in the fure.
11. OWNER ACCOUNT PORTAL. This is a recurring topic for many of our owners. Each owner has the ability to access their account through a portal Summit Management offers. To access the portal, please go to our website and select the ‘Living in PWCA’ tab. Scroll down the page to the button ‘Vantaca Owner Login’. If you have not already done so, Vantaca will prompt you to create a login. Once you login you’ll be able to access your owner information to include the status of your account. This also provides an avenue to pay any balances due on the account.
Regards,
Mark
