Each month at our board meetings we give an update on these topics, however we have received many inquiries as to the latest status.  Please find that information below.

General Manager Search
The GM position has been posted for two months and we have interviewed several candidates.  We have two excellent finalist candidates that are both highly qualified and will anticipate making an offer this week.  We wanted to make sure to have a thorough interview process to find a good fit for our community.  Thank you for giving us the time to do so.

HOA Management Company Exploration
The committee exploring the possibility of hiring a HOA management company is composed of 3 board members, candidates, committee chairs and homeowners.  After sending the RFP to 15 companies, OCA was fortunate to receive 6 proposals.  The committee used objective rubrics to evaluate and score the proposals.  The top three companies were interviewed last week.  The companies will now be challenged with presenting more detailed information on how they can provide excellent service and how OCA can afford them with the 2023 budget.  The committee is preparing a report for board consideration at the March 29 general session. 

NOTE: These processes do work hand in hand and it is important to understand that if we chose to utilize an HOA management company, they will absorb our staff, including our new GM, to provide continuity. 

We hope you found this helpful!
