BOARD of DIRECTORS 

BOTTLEBRUSH PLANTS
For those of you with bottle brush plants on common areas near your home,  Bob will start trimming them again immediately.  We hired a certified Arborist to review the bottle brush. His expert opinion is that the bottle brush pose no problem if kept trimmed as bushes.   It is always a good idea to have your drain pipes inspected or cleaned out yearly as part of your home’s maintenance.

FLASHING SPEED LIGHTS
In an attempt to remind homeowners and guests to use the proper speed on Vista Campana, you will soon see 2 flashing speed lights.  This past year we have experienced 3 major accidents on Vista Campana which could have been fatal.   The locations of the lights are being determined.  Please be aware that the speed limit is only 25 MPH.

AD HOC EVACUATION COMMITTEE MEETING
There will be an Ad Hoc Evacuation Committee Meeting in the Community Room on January 15th at 1:00pm.  Please email board member Teresa if you plan to attend so she can email the information to be discussed.

503 VISTA BELLA AD HOC COMMITTEE
Please plan on attending the Oceanside City Council meeting on Wednesday, January 22 at 6:00 PM, when our appeal of the apartment tower will be heard.  The City Council needs to know how many residents (and voters!) will be impacted by this terrible tower.  The City Council meets in the Oceanside Council Chambers at 300 N. Coast Highway.  Please wear a plain white shirt and we will hand out colorful Oceana buttons for you to wear.  If you would like to ride with someone from the Ad Hoc Committee rather than driving yourself, please email Ellen Marciel at [email protected] to make those arrangements.  Help us make a strong showing for Oceana in front of our elected officials!

MAINTENANCE

Please Keep in mind when you are disposing of your Christmas Trees that they need to have all bulbs and ornaments removed. If you are in a Unit that has a trash shed they should be visible next to the trash shed out of harm’s way. All other Units please place the tree next to your trash cans for WM on regular pick up day. Next Thursday 1-16-25 is the last day WM will be picking up Christmas trees. Any trees left after that date will be the responsibility of the HO to dispose of the property. Landscape and Maintenance will NOT pick up and dispose of any Christmas trees. Thank you.

KPBS has compiled a list of resources to help San Diegans navigate the high cost of living in our region, related to housing, food, financial aid, child care, digital access and more. 

New technology launched in May will help streamline any emergency evacuations in Oceanside and throughout the region. Evacuation zones delineated with Genasys EVAC technology will help regional emergency managers send out precise location-based alerts during an emergency evacuation. Oceanside will use this technology as part of a concerted effort to innovate to keep residents safe and informed during emergencies.

Specific map zones were developed for Oceanside by a coalition of local emergency managers, law enforcement, and fire officials. The team used geographical boundaries like canyons, rivers, freeways, and neighborhoods to create more logical and precise mapping zones. This mapping system will provide more specific evacuation areas, which will limit larger unnecessary evacuations. This will also support more efficient repopulations to get people back into their homes sooner.

Genasys EVAC will be integrated into AlertSanDiego.org and the SD Emergency app. Residents who are already registered do not need to re-subscribe. Please ensure you are registered for emergency alerts through AlertSanDiego.org and the SD Emergency app. You’ll get information about evacuations, emergency shelters and more.  For local information on things like Oceanside road closures and missing people, sign up for “Ready Oceanside” by texting the word Oceanside to 67283 or sign up online.

You are also encouraged to download the Genasys Protect App to subscribe to alerts in other areas where family members live or work. Having the app also makes it easy to monitor the status of specific zones during an emergency.
