The city's parks guide identifies La Plaza as a distinctive public place in Cotati. HOA responsibilities should be mapped separately using the association's governing documents and maintenance schedule. Boards can support a useful proposal by assembling those records with the budget and open-work list. Ask how vendors will receive approved instructions and how the board can see progress, payments and unresolved issues without confusing public park maintenance with the association's private work.
Chapter Two · The $40,000 story
Sunnyvale, CA · Norman’s community
First month. First financial review. $40,000 in overpriced vendors, exposed.
From the board president
“Within months, nexova ai reduced our lighting maintenance costs from $40,000 to $1,400, cut our insurance premiums by 50%, and helped us reduce a projected 50% dues increase down to 15%. When we held a community vote through the app, 77% of homeowners participated. This is what management should look like.”
