Latest News

We are happy to inform you that we have recently added additional functionality to mypaseo.life. These enhancements are designed to make the site more usable and valuable to our residents and guests. Many of them are the result of member feedback and input. In addition to the user enhancements, there were several enhancements to the back end of the system to allow for better site content maintenance. Below is a brief description of the new features:

• Enhanced Security - You will notice a lock or https rather than http in the result in the search bar when you navigate to our site. We have purchased and implemented a SSL certificate making our site more secure.
• Alert Icon - You will see Paseo Alert with a speaker Icon in the top navigation bar. If you click on it, it will contain a brief summary of site changes such as movie updates, calendar updates, new documents, news articles, etc! This will allow users greater visibility to those changes!
• Two-column page format change - We have updated what appears in the second column on pages like social & recreation. This allows quicker access to items that are of greatest interest to users. The new content is: News, Calendar, Movies, Reviews, Member Services
• Social Media Integration - If you visit our Facebook page, you will now see many of our site pages on the left column giving visitors to our social media more information about our community.
• NEW FEATURE Activity Groups - Once you log into the Resident Portal you will see a new link called Activity Groups below the My Friends link. This feature allows you to join groups that interest you and then have the ability to send a group message to that group. Members of the group can then send you a message in response if they choose. I created 6 groups to start and can add others for other recreational activities and clubs. Current groups are: Basketball, Bocce, Golf, Pickleball, Tennis, Volley Ball
• NEW Real Estate Page - As a way to show site visitors what may be available in Paseo, we implements a simple Real Estate page. It is a brief description of Paseo and a link to the MLS page for sales and for rentals. In the first iteration, the user may need to select a few filters to view Paseo only. This functionality is a convenience for site users. In 2018 there will be greater discussion about this functionality and how to further enhance it to add value to our community.
• Guest Registration - We have added the ability to register your guest for the site and allow Member Services to print a finger print form from that registration. Previously they could not do that, so this is a more complete process. On your home page you can also see guests you have registered for a future visit where as before you could only view those visiting on the visit dates.

Over the new week we will be adding new photographs to the site as well! As with any new system, occasionally there can be issues and if you experience any please let Member Services know and they can inform the Webmaster for research and resolution!

An updated and final 2018 draft budget proposal will be voted on by the Board at its next meeting on November 6th at 5:30 pm. A copy of the updated, proposed budget has been posted online to our website, mypaseo.life. The final draft budget reduces fees by $300 per year.

The 2018 budget captures many measures taken to reduce operational costs. This will allow KW and the Board to maintain as well as improve some amenities. Significant cash surpluses generated in 2017 will be used to offset 2018 budget expenses.

The final proposed budget shows a contribution to reserves, which will have the effect of funding prior year shortfalls as well as overfunding the 2018 reserve requirement. Additionally, the contingency expense has been increased primarily for the event that the Association needs to purchase a liquor license.

If passed as proposed the updated budget allows for;

• Heaters for the Lagoon Pool for the cooler months
• Additional money for more and better, quality entertainment
• Needed upgrades to the pickleball, tennis, bocce and basketball areas
• Major overhauls to Pool Equipment
• Upgrades and replacement of needed gym equipment
• Additional new furniture replacement
• Complete overhaul of all security cameras & equipment
• Funding marketing measures to attract prospective home buyers
• The purchase of a liquor license if necessary

Additionally, we are still waiting on the State of Florida for an inspection and for issuance of a ?Paseo Beach Club? liquor license. Should the State not decide in the HOA?s favor, the 2018 budget can accommodate the purchase of a liquor license. The license would cost the Association somewhere in the neighborhood of $250,000.

Finally, Richard Deboest (Association Counsel) will attend our next meeting for the purpose of discussing the Associations? past and present legal fees along with other legal matters. Attorney Deboest will answer questions during the Q & A portion of the meeting. Also, the Board will discuss and vote on issues related to amending bylaws, electronic voting and the 2018 Master Association election.

Sincerely,
Board of Directors
Paseo Master Homeowners' Association

The hard work of the furniture committee has paid off and the long awaited lap loop furniture has arrived! This is just the first phase of a multi-phase project to refresh and replace furniture at the Paseo Village Center. This phase includes new furniture for the lap pool and children's splash pad area as well as refinishing of teak furniture for the tiki huts. The furniture will be set up this week. Future phases include additional outside furniture, cushions and umbrellas and new Bistro chairs.
