The VIsta Monterey HOA board has decided to spend hundreds of thousands of our dollars on the new painting project without so much as consulting homeowners as to what color they think their homes should be!
The Board stated in past newsletters that “options” would be posted on June 22nd in order to receive input from homeowners. However at the last board meeting on June 7th, homeowners were informed that the colors which were posted on the Clubhouse on June 2nd would be the chosen colors and that the homeowners would not have a say in the matter. The cost of this project is well over $200,000. Money accumulated through our monthly HOA fees.
The Board has also failed to mention to Home Owners that they would be responsible themselves for some of the costs of painting their units. This is unacceptable.The board must hear from homeowners before making such a costly and important decision.
Please sign this petition to force the Vista Monterey HOA Board to hold a vote
3 color schemes as well as an option to keep our original colors must be given. The BOARD is meant to represent Home Owners not rule over them.
Please sign this petition and if you would like to complain to the board, please email:
I will ensure each complaint is received by the property manager and the HOA Board.
Also ballots have already been mailed to replace 3 members whose terms are up. We need to elect new people who have not been a part of the current board making these decisions.
When you vote your new ballot please check mark:
☑️ Sylvia Robie
☑️ Patrice Porter
☑️ Dave Martin
Thank you. Let’s be heard

I am truly overwhelmed by the way our neighborhood has come together over this issue. This momentum belongs entirely to you because I never imagined so many people would step up to demand accountability.

Please feel free to come see the colors and the poor workmanship of the painters...the colors clash with the backyard fences (beige/tan against white), the grey clashes against the spanish style roofing. The painters broke my front porch light, sprayed paint on a window, got white paint on the grey paint ...it just looks awful. Please stop this painting before the whole place looses resale value.

Please open up the selection of the colors for the painting project so the homeowners can select and finally agree on the final color selection. The owners of these properties should be allowed to have a say in what color the condos will be painted in. These condos are our investments and we need to make the decision. Owner #22
I too am not sure these colors go with the spanish style architecture of our condos - especially with our rust colored tile roofing. I don't like that we as the homeowners weren't given a choice in the colors or even if we need to paint again at all. For those of us that work full time / 12 hour shifts and can't get to meetings I'd at least like a voting by mail or online on big projects.
Hi Debbie, After I spread the word they re-voted and decided that the HOA would now pay for our front and back gates. We will still be responsible however for any patio covers on the back gate. They are still refusing to let us vote or uphold their original promise to give us options and listen to input. There whole attitude is one of superiority. They have told us they are not legally obligated to let us vote and therefore will not do it!
And to further point out, our reserves, which is a rainy day fund for major repairs is at 38%. Consequently we don't have the money to be wasting on a paint project at this time.

My opinion on the boards choice of color doesn't flow well with the terracotta roof tiles. I am concerned that the colors selected might affect the resale value of my property. The architecture of vista monterey doesn't work with modern color palette. (Please stick with classic spanish colors that goes well with the terracotta roof tiles and brick pavers.) I'd rather would like to see HOA fix/repair the facia of warped wood panel or chipped stucco walls.
