2025 Budget and Assessment Update:
The Pacific’s 2025 budget has been mailed, and you should receive a physical copy soon. If you’ve opted for electronic communications, you should have received it via email.
With the new fiscal year approaching, our Board of Directors has reviewed the operating budget to ensure efficient operations. Based on this review, the Board has approved a 3.56% increase in assessments and a new parking rate of $311.53 per space effective January 1, 2025.
For those using bill pay through a financial institution, please update your payment amount as of January 1, 2025, as this will not occur automatically. If you have automatic payments set up through Action Property Management (Revo), the new assessment will be updated automatically, requiring no further action.
For details on the new assessment amount for your unit, please refer to Exhibit B (pg.18) in your budget packet.
CC&R Amendment Voting:
We are still a few ballots short of reaching the quorum needed for our CC&R Amendment. As a reminder, this proposed amendment specifically targets Exhibit B, which outlines the Maintenance Responsibility Chart. At present, the chart assigns responsibility for the maintenance, repair, and replacement of unit windows to individual owners.
Given the mid-rise nature of our building and the importance of ensuring timely repair or replacement of window components, the Board has proposed this amendment to shift the responsibility for window maintenance and repair from individual owners to the Association.
To make voting as convenient as possible, we can have a ballot printed and available for pick-up at the front desk. For those away from the building, a ballot is attached to this email with mailing instructions.
Your participation in this vote is essential to help us meet the quorum requirement and move forward with the amendment process. Thank you to everyone who has voted so far, and if you haven’t yet, please take a moment to cast your ballot.
If you have any questions about the CC&R Amendment, please feel free to email me directly. I’m here to provide any support or information you may need.
Vendor Reminders:
We kindly ask that any resident working with vendors, or planning to, ensures they are aware of the Loading Dock hours of operation. As a reminder, residents are responsible for any vendors conducting work within their units.
Vendors/Contractors are permitted only from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (excluding holidays). Deliveries, Contractors/Vendors are not allowed on weekends.

Below are a few building updates:
Fall Window Washing Cycle:
I wanted to update you regarding our Fall Window Washing Cycle, which has experienced some delays due to high winds. We are optimistic that the missed days will be made up this week. Thank you for your patience as the window-washing team continues to work through this cycle. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the window-washing schedule or any other matter, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly.
Front Door Update:
We recently experienced issues with the front door after the power outage last week, affecting its opening and closing speed. Our vendor, Stanley, was onsite yesterday to adjust the speed and make the necessary repairs. I’m happy to report that the front door is now functioning as expected.
Resident Portal Requests:
If you’re looking for a convenient way to connect with your fellow residents for requests, recommendations, or to offer or seek assistance, we encourage you to utilize the posting section on the resident portal.
This feature allows you to share information, make announcements, or ask for help with various needs directly within the community. The resident portal is a great tool to foster community interaction and support.
Annual Fire Drill:
We would like to inform you that the Annual Fire Drill is scheduled for November. This important drill will review emergency and evacuation procedures for residents and staff.
Before the audible alarm sounds, an announcement will be made in your unit and in common areas to notify you of the drill. The drill will commence by activating the alarm pull station in the Fire Control Center on level one, which will be audible throughout the property.
Residents who wish to participate are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the evacuation routes for their floor by reviewing the “Evacuation Plan” posted on each level. During the evacuation, please remember to use the stairwell (do not use the elevators), exit the building, and proceed to the corner of Sacramento and Fillmore Street.
A Pacific Staff Member will greet you at the evacuation site. More detailed information and an official communication will be sent to all residents soon.
Rental Unit Information:
As part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining the quality and integrity of our community, I would like to remind everyone of the rental policies outlined in the CC&Rs of The Pacific Owners Association. According to these regulations, a maximum of 25% of our total 76 units can be rented at any given time.
If you are considering renting out your unit, it is crucial to contact the Management Office before proceeding with any arrangements. This ensures that you are informed about the current rental percentage, as it may fluctuate due to changes in occupancy.

To facilitate this work, there will be a spider crane set up on the Grand Penthouse patio floors, and another crane will be set up on the Webster Street side. Please be cautious as there will be quite a bit of activity outside.
