The Edgewood Information Archive

September 30, 2026

Archived copy of the October 2026 edition of “The Edgewood Voice”, an official homeowners association newsletter distributed within the Edgewood community in Citrus Heights, California. The publication documents ongoing building repairs, contractor bidding, landscaping concerns, regulatory compliance obligations, and routine association operations.

Of particular significance is the Board's acknowledgment that 13 residential units remain in need of dry-rot repairs and exterior painting. The newsletter reports that two contractors were consulted regarding the unfinished work, while a third contractor declined the project because of its size. The Board states that additional bids are being sought and that a decision regarding the commencement of construction will follow their review. No project budget, funding source, or anticipated completion date is provided.

The newsletter also identifies outstanding fencing repairs at three residential locations, with Aguilar Fencing being considered for additional work following its earlier RV lot fencing project. Together, these disclosures document continuing common-area and exterior maintenance obligations requiring contractor involvement and future expenditures.

Another noteworthy development is the Board's discussion of California Assembly Bill 1572 (AB 1572), which restricts the use of potable water to irrigate nonfunctional turf on homeowners association common areas beginning in January 2029. The newsletter acknowledges the need to examine the law further to determine Edgewood's compliance obligations. It does not identify a specific implementation plan, estimated costs, or which landscaped areas may be affected.

These announcements are relevant to historical concerns regarding Edgewood's reserve funding, deferred maintenance, and the possibility of future special assessments. Earlier community discussions questioned whether the Association's reserve funding projections adequately reflected its long-term repair obligations and potential homeowner contributions. The unfinished painting and dry-rot projects described in this newsletter raise continuing questions about available funding and how remaining capital expenditures will be financed.

Importantly, the October 2026 newsletter does not announce or propose a special assessment. The solicitation of contractor bids and acknowledgment of unfinished repairs may precede future financial decisions, but the publication provides insufficient information to establish whether additional homeowner assessments, existing reserve funds, or alternative financing will ultimately be used.

The newsletter also discusses architectural approval procedures, exterior modifications discovered during contractor inspections, restrictions on political signs, and limitations on participation in Board meetings. Additional sections address seasonal pool maintenance, volunteer community workdays, clubhouse activities, and neighborhood reminders, providing broader historical context regarding Association operations and governance during October 2026.
