Did you know that the Board Majority voted to increase your Association dues by 20%? The maximum increase permitted without membership approval.

 

At the La Cresta Open Session Board Meeting held on Thursday, August 6, 2026, the Board Majority Roy Paulson, Paul Gaarenstroom (Treasurer), and David Boyd voted to increase Association dues by 20%. This increase deserves the attention of every La Cresta member, particularly considering the Associations’ reported financial position, including approximately $3 million in available cash/reserves and financial reports reflecting a surplus. Members should understand why a maximum 20% increase is necessary and how these additional funds are expected to be used.

 

Your dues are your money. You deserve transparency, accountability, and a clear explanation of how Association funds are being managed.
