UPDATES FROM THE BOARD
Pool & BBQ Area Furniture
The Board gave the thumbs-up to the Restoration Hardware proposal for our new pool and BBQ furniture, which the Amenities Committee suggested. Huge thanks to the committee for their awesome work, and a special shout-out to all homeowners who shared their thoughts—it really helped us make the right choice. If you haven’t seen the amazing mood board the committee, put together, it’s hanging out in the lobby. You absolutely have to check it out!
Change of Landscape Vendor
The Board also approved the Landscape Committee’s recommendation to bring on a new landscape vendor, BrightView. They’ll also be our in-house arborist, which will help us keep our landscaping running smoothly and tackle those ongoing palm tree issues. Plus, their services are a bit more budget-friendly than our current provider, so we’ve moved the start date up from January 1 to November 1.
Cardio Equipment Refresh
After looking at seven quotes from five vendors, the Amenities Committee suggested we go with Technogym Excite Live. The Board will now start looking at the next steps and put together a PDF of the equipment for everyone to review.
MANAGEMENT UPDATE
We would like to take a moment to recognize and celebrate Armando, our Assistant General Manager, for all that he has done for Savina over the past six years.
His dedication, hard work, and genuine care for our community have made a lasting impact, and he will truly be missed by both residents and staff.
Armando will be leaving Savina, with his last day being Friday, September 26, 2025.
We are grateful for the time, energy, and heart Armando has poured into Savina.
As we wish him the very best in his next chapter, we also want to ensure a smooth transition for our residents.
As we move forward, we kindly ask that any emails that would have been sent to Armando now to be directed to Jabbear, our General Manager, at
Jswinton@actionlife.com and all move or delivery inquiries be sent to Jules, our Resident Service Coordinator, at Jorozco@actionlife.com .
Please join us in thanking him for his years of service and in wishing him every success in this new chapter.
PALM TREE REPLACEMENT NOTICE – SEPTEMBER 22–26
Please be advised that from September 22 through September 26, work will begin on the replacement of five deteriorated palm trees on the 5th floor pool deck area.
During this time, construction activity will affect the jacuzzi and cabana areas, which will be off-limits for resident use.
Additionally, access to the pool will be limited — residents may only use the northwest (NW) side of the pool until the project is completed.
Please note, dates are tentative and subject to change depending on the progress of the work.
Once construction begins and we have a clearer timeline, updates will be provided regarding potential after-hours access to the jacuzzi and cabanas.
Management appreciates your patience and cooperation as we work to enhance the pool deck environment for everyone’s enjoyment.
