The city's McNeil Park project explains the relationship between the former El Portal school site and a planned public gathering place. An HOA inquiry should distinguish such municipal projects from private common-area work. Provide a property map and the current list of service contracts, then ask how a manager would organize approvals, vendor visits and owner updates. A clear operating scope helps the board compare proposals without assuming responsibility for nearby public facilities.
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.”
