DRAIN MAINTENANCE REMINDER
Notice a sewer-like smell in your bathroom? The likely cause is a dry drain trap.
Every sink, tub, shower, and floor drain has a P-trap, a curved pipe that holds water to seal out sewer gas. When a drain goes unused, that water can evaporate and let odors in. Keeping traps filled is each homeowner’s responsibility.
Easy prevention:
- Run water in every drain at least once a week, especially in rarely used fixtures.
- Use your bathroom exhaust fan to keep air moving.
- If an odor persists, contact a licensed plumber and advise Management.
Traveling? Ask someone to run your drains while you’re away.
Sewer gas is a normal part of every plumbing system, but nobody wants it in their home, and a few simple habits go a long way toward keeping it out.
BURGEON GREASE TRAP CLEANING – WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2026
Please be advised that Burgeon will be hiring a vendor to clean the restaurant’s grease trap on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, between 5:00 – 7:00 a.m. During this time, there will be strong odors in the garage, and we recommend avoiding the area if possible.
Savina’s engineer, Fernando, will be on-site at 6:00 a.m. to activate the ventilation fans and help air out the garage. If you have any questions, please contact the Front Desk.
BOARD MEETING – SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 14, 2026
Homeowners are encouraged to attend the next regular session meeting on Wednesday, October 14, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. in the Social Lounge and via Zoom. The agenda, including the Zoom link, is posted in the elevators and on the bulletin board. See you then!
NEW BARBECUE GRILLS ARRIVE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16
We’re excited to announce that the community’s new barbecue grills will be installed on Friday, October 16.
To allow the installation to be completed safely, the barbecue area will be closed all day on Friday, October 16. We appreciate your patience and understanding. The new grills replace the old glow-plug ignition with a spark ignition system, which offers more reliable lighting and better performance in the high-wind conditions we often have at Savina. They also include extended warranty coverage and replacement components, and our maintenance team will receive complimentary training to keep the grills running well and reduce downtime.
We will let you know as soon as they are ready to use!
UNDERSTANDING SAVINA’S ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING RATES
At the September 9, 2026, Open Session Board Meeting, the Board approved updated pricing for Savina’s Level 2 and Level 3 EV chargers. Effective September 16, 2026, a $2.00 fee per charging session was added to help offset taxes, franchise fees, and delivery charges, and the energy rate is now $0.33 per kWh, regardless of the time of day charging occurs.
Why a Flat Rate?
Some residents have asked whether the building’s time of use (TOU) rates were considered in this decision. They were. When rates were first adjusted, residents were encouraged to charge during off peak hours to save the Association money. That approach worked almost too well. With so many residents charging at the same time, a new issue emerged: demand charges.
Commercial accounts like Savina’s are charged a premium each month based on the highest level of electricity demand recorded during that billing period, no matter what time of day it occurs. TOU pricing does not apply to these charges.
How the Rate Was Calculated
The new rate is based directly on actual costs. By dividing the total cost of each SDG&E bill over the last three months by the kWh used, the average cost came to $0.33 per kWH. Some months were higher and some were lower.
Help Us Manage Charging Demand
Residents can help control charging costs by varying their charging times whenever possible. Spreading EV charging throughout the day reduces peak demand and helps avoid unnecessary demand charges. If your EV allows you to schedule charging, please consider varying your daily charging times rather than charging at the same time each day.
The Board will continue monitoring EV usage and billing and will review the data again at the November Board meeting. Adjustments may be made as needed to ensure charging rates remain fair and accurately reflect the Association’s costs.
If you have any questions, please contact Alma Galindo at 619-255-1204 or agalindo@actionlife.com.
COMMUNITY SAFETY UPDATE AT SANTA FE DEPOT
The Train Coalition, an independent group of residents, has reported ongoing drug activity on the Santa Fe Depot rail platforms and encourages residents to report incidents to the appropriate agencies.
- For activity near the trolley tracks or depot building, contact MTS Security at 619-595-4960 (photos by text preferred).
- For activity on the Coaster and Amtrak platforms, contact NCTD Security at 760-966-6700 or submit photos at gonctd.com/contact-us.
For emergencies, call 911. Residents should not approach or confront anyone involved. This information is provided solely by The Train Coalition and has not been verified or endorsed by the Board of Directors or Action Property Management. Questions may be directed to thetraincoalition@gmail.com.
WEATHER ALERT: TROPICAL STORM RACHEL
Tropical Storm Rachel is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds to San Diego this weekend, with the worst weather expected on Sunday, October 11.
Rain could begin Saturday evening and continue into Monday, with possible flooding in some areas. We ask all residents to please bring in patio cushions, umbrellas, and any loose outdoor items, and make sure patio furniture is properly secured before the storm arrives. Please keep an eye on weather updates and use caution when traveling during the storm. Stay safe, everyone!
TRASH & RECYCLING REMINDER
With the recent change in pickup schedules following our transition to a new trash hauler, we need everyone’s cooperation to help keep things running smoothly.
The main trash and recycling bins are located on P1. Items that do not fit in the trash chutes must be taken directly to the bins and should not be left in the chutes, floor trash rooms, or around the bins.
On nearly every pickup day, we find large amounts of unflattened cardboard boxes stacked in and around the recycling area, causing bins to overflow. While our hauler has been accommodating, continued overflows may result in additional service charges to the Association.
Please take a moment to break down and flatten all cardboard boxes before placing them in the recycling bins. Proper disposal helps keep the area clean, reduces costs, and minimizes the need for violation notices and potential fines.
PLEASE DON’T FLUSH WIPES
On Saturday, September 26, the Association had to call in plumbers after every toilet in the 4th floor women’s restroom backed up. Clearing the lines took considerable time and resulted in a bill of nearly $900. The cause? Wipes.
Wipes should never be flushed, even those labeled “flushable.” They do not break down like toilet paper and can quickly clog pipes. Incidents like this one are paid for by the Association, which means they affect every owner.

FINAL REMINDER: RENTAL CAP SURVEY CLOSES OCTOBER 7, 2026
Thank you to everyone who attended the August Town Hall meeting on a potential rental cap for Savina. As a follow-up, the Board of Directors released an owner survey on September 23. To date, we have received 142 responses, representing nearly half of Savina’s 289 units. Thank you to every owner who has taken the time to participate!
With only a few days left, we encourage every owner who has not yet responded to take the survey before the October 7 deadline. Whether you support a rental cap, oppose one, or are still undecided, your perspective will help the Board decide whether to move forward with any proposal. Please note that no CC&R amendment or membership vote is currently being proposed. The survey is simply a way to gauge owner interest and gather feedback.
How to Take the Survey
Access the Survey Monkey link provided via email. There are also signs in the elevators with QR codes. No account, password, or download is needed. Answer each question, then enter your unit number and last name and click “Done.” Your response is not recorded until you click “Done,” so we recommend completing the survey in one sitting. If the link does not open, copy and paste it into your browser’s address bar.
Please submit one survey per unit. If your unit has more than one owner, please coordinate and submit a single response.
If you have questions or trouble accessing the survey, please contact Alma Galindo at agalindo@actionlife.com or 619-255-1204. Thank you for your time and participation.

WOOD REPAIRS NOTICE: STRONG ODORS EXPECTED
Please be advised that IRX will be performing wood repairs on the 14th floor on Thursday, October 8th and Friday, October 9th. During this work, there will be noticeable odors from the products being used. These odors may travel through the building, including elevator lobbies and common areas. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to maintain and improve our community.
FAREWELL & BEST WISHES TO JOSE CASTRO
Please join us in saying farewell to Jose Castro, Savina’s Chief Engineer, whose time with the community was brief but truly impactful.
During his tenure, Jose brought a level of expertise that made a real difference for the Association. Many repairs that would normally have required outside HVAC technicians or plumbers were handled in house under his leadership, costing the Association only the price of materials. These savings, along with his hands-on approach and dedication to keeping the building running smoothly, will benefit Savina well beyond his time here.
Just as important as his technical skill was the way Jose worked with people. He built strong relationships with his colleagues, especially Fernando, Savina’s second Engineer, who served as his right hand. His professionalism, approachability, and willingness to help made him a valued member of the team.
While we are sad to see him go, we are happy for Jose as he returns to the commercial world, where his career first took root. We thank him for everything he contributed to Savina and wish him continued success in this next chapter.
Thank you, Jose, and best of luck!

Please note that vendors who do not provide the required insurance documentation by the deadline may not be permitted access to the property on the day of the event. We encourage residents to coordinate with their vendors early to help avoid any disruptions to their event plans. Thank you!

RENTAL CAP SURVEY: YOUR VOICE MATTERS
Thank you to everyone who attended the August Town Hall meeting on a potential rental cap for Savina. As a follow-up, the Board of Directors released an owner survey on September 23, and the response so far has been encouraging. We have already received 109 responses, roughly 38% of 285 units. Thank you to every owner who has taken the time to participate!
I encourage all owners who have not yet responded to participate and let their voice be heard. Whether you support a rental cap, oppose one, or are still undecided, your perspective will help the Board decide whether to move forward with any proposal. Please note that no CC&R amendment or membership vote is currently being proposed. The survey is simply a way to gauge owner interest and gather feedback.

RESIDENT SURVEY RESULTS: THANK YOU, SAVINA!
Thank you to everyone who took part in this year’s resident survey. We received 93 responses, and your feedback gives the Board and management team a clear picture of what is working well and where we can continue to improve.
We are pleased to share that satisfaction improved across every headline measure compared to 2025. The largest gains came in how residents rate management and administration, which rose 19 points to 83%, and in whether residents feel we are achieving our mission for the community, which rose 18 points to 86%. Overall living experience, cleanliness, and the likelihood of recommending Savina to others also moved up, with cleanliness reaching an impressive 98%.
These results are especially meaningful because this has been a year of change. This is my first year as General Manager and Carlos’s first year as Assistant General Manager, and many members of our team are newer as well. We are grateful for the patience and support you have shown as we have settled in.
Our Team Made a Difference
Many of you took the time to recognize our staff, describing them as friendly, helpful, professional, and responsive. The front desk and ACO teams received especially strong praise. Several residents also named the sense of community and the care shown by staff as reasons they love living at Savina and would recommend it to others. Thank you for these kind words. They mean a great deal to our team.
Where We Are Focused Next
Some feedback reflected the adjustment that comes with a newer team, including comments about staff turnover and consistency in following up on requests. We hear you. Our team is focused on making sure every request is followed through to completion and on building the same familiarity and rapport with residents that you have come to expect. That kind of trust takes time to earn, and we are committed to earning it.
Thank you again for your participation! If you have questions or suggestions at any time, please feel free to reach out.
