Monthly roundup of news from Lantana as published in The Cross Timbers Gazette.
As 2024 winds down, I find it amazing how much we’ve achieved together this year! It has been an incredibly fulfilling and productive time at the Lantana HOA. Having had the privilege of serving as your community manager for the past two years, I am continuously honored to work alongside our dedicated Board and wonderful homeowners. We’ve accomplished so much, and I’m excited about the great things yet to come as we continue to grow and thrive together.
We ended 2023 with a significant milestone: the official transition from declarant control to homeowner control, and January 2024 marked the inaugural meeting of our first homeowner-controlled board. Now, as we approach the close of another successful year, we are gearing up for Lantana’s Annual Meeting and Election on Thursday, Dec. 5, 2024, at 6 p.m. This year, we’ll be electing two new board members to fill expiring positions. There are eight candidates and we encourage everyone to participate in voting. The official meeting notice will be sent out in early November.
In other exciting news, the Board has approved the 2025 operating budget, and I’m pleased to share that there will be no increase to monthly assessments! The Association remains committed to contributing to its reserve account, following recommendations from our newly-adopted reserve study. Additionally, we’ve already started working on several projects that we aim to complete before the next pool season. The finalized approved budget will be available online soon, so stay tuned!
This year has been a busy one, but also filled with remarkable accomplishments. I’d like to extend a huge thank you to our Board of Directors for their tireless work and leadership, and to all of our homeowners for their continued engagement.
Lastly, a reminder: LantanaLive.com is the official platform for HOA news and updates. While we love seeing the vibrant communication on social media among homeowners, it’s essential to visit LantanaLive for official information. With over 4,000 registered homeowners already online, it’s the best place to stay informed about community news, weekly updates, and all things Lantana.
Thank you for being an active and engaged part of this wonderful community, and I look forward to seeing everyone at the annual meeting!
