Message From the Board
Published: June 27, 2025
Thank you to everyone who attended our recent HOA Info Session & Meet and Greet. For those who couldn’t join us, we are sorry we missed you, but we wanted to share a summary of what was discussed, highlight important takeaways, a, provide the presentation from the meeting (attached), and outline what’s ahead for our community.
Before we dive in, thank you to those I had the chance to speak with—your support and kind words are truly appreciated. I may be new to the neighborhood, and unknown to many, but I’m fully committed to the long-term success and growth of our neighborhood.
🧑💼 Board UpdateWe’re pleased to introduce
Jason Holland as our new board member. Jason brings 9 years of HOA leadership experience and a background in technology and project management. He joins Jeff Siegel on the board, giving us homeowner representation on the board. Jeff continues to hold two of the three board seats.
Our goal is to bring structure, improve communication, and serve with transparency and accountability.
📬 Communication ImprovementsWe heard loud and clear that communication has been a major concern. Residents have experienced delays and unclear follow-ups from our management company, PMG. To address this:
• A 48-hour response standard for homeowner communication has been established. *As a note- if you reach out after 5 Pm on Friday, you will not receive a response until the next business day- Monday before end of business.
• A new Board of Directors email (boardofdirectors@starlightranchtxhoa.com) sends messages to Jason, Jeff, and PMG to ensure visibility and follow-through.
• Quarterly HOA meetings will be scheduled and hosted virtually via Teams or Zoom for easier participation.
• A quarterly newsletter will launch soon to keep everyone informed.
💰 Financial OverviewHere’s where we currently stand:
• 169 homes x $420/year = $70,980 in potential income.
• $16,000 in unpaid dues is causing a negative variance and limiting project funding.
• Top costs:
o Landscaping: $20,000
o Management fees: ~$13,000
o One-time road repairs: $14,000
• Cash on hand (as of 3/31): $9,941
Action Needed: If you haven’t yet paid dues, please do so as soon as possible to help us meet obligations and maintain the neighborhood.
