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, as his last day was Friday, September 26, 2025.

We are grateful for the time, energy, and heart Armando has poured into Savina.

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.

As we wish him the very best in his next chapter, we also want to ensure a smooth transition for our residents.

We kindly ask that any emails that would have been sent to Armando now to be directed to Jabbear, General Manager, at jswinton@actionlife.com, and all move or delivery

inquiries be sent to Jules, our Resident Services Coordinator, at jorozco@actionlife.com.

Please join us in thanking Armando for his years of service and wishing him every success in his new chapter.

 

NOTES FROM THE BOARD

  • Budget Season – We’re in the middle of preparing the Association’s annual budget. The Board will meet in November to review and approve it, keeping things on track to distribute the final version to owners around the same time as last year.
  • Schedule Change – Because of scheduling conflicts, we will not be holding an Open Session in October. Our next meeting will take place as scheduled in November.
  • Fitness Equipment – After reviewing the Reserve Study’s recommendations, the Board has decided to defer any decisions about replacing cardio equipment until later in 2026. This gives us more time to plan carefully while continuing to monitor both usage and market options.
  • Landscaping – The new palms and trees are now in place, bringing a fresh look to the property. We’re also pleased to share that a new landscape/arborist will be joining us starting November 1 to help ensure our grounds continue to thrive.
  • Construction Defect Litigation – Work remains on schedule. Testing is actively underway around the building, and we’ll continue to keep you informed as the process moves forward.
  • Extended Deadline – The Board has decided to extend the deadline for submitting applications to run in the upcoming Board election. With this extension, candidates now have additional time to participate in the process. As a result, the Annual Meeting will be rescheduled and held in January.

 

FITNESS CENTER TEMPORARY CLOSURE

We are excited to share that the fitness center will be getting a little refresh next week!

To complete these updates, the gym will be temporarily closed Tuesday, October 7th through Friday, October 10th from 11:00am – 4:00pm daily.

During this time, our maintenance team will be working on minor repairs, patching, and painting to help keep the space looking its best.

Once work wraps up and the fitness center is cleaned after each afternoon, it will reopen for use after 4:00pm.

Thank you for your patience while we take this opportunity to enhance the space — we cannot wait for you to enjoy the updated look!

 

CARPET EXTRACTION CLEANING NOTICE: OCT. 6TH – NOV. 6TH

To keep our common areas looking their best, PTC (Personal Touch Cleaning) will be performing carpet extraction cleaning at Savina starting Monday, October 6th through Thursday, November 6th.

This work will take place Monday through Thursday, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Please note that no carpet extraction will be done inside individual units—this project is limited to the common areas only.

Cleaning will begin on the 36th floor and proceed downward.

A detailed schedule will be shared through email reminders, posted on the community bulletin board, and included in the resident newsletter for your convenience.

                           

BELL AND FLAT CART COURTESY REMINDER

We have noticed that sometimes flat and bell carts are staying inside units for a little longer than intended.

These carts are provided by the HOA for everyone to use, and they work best when they are shared and returned the same day.

This helps make sure there is always one available whenever someone needs it.

To help keep things running smoothly, we kindly ask that residents check out only one bell cart at a time.

If you do need more, returning at least half promptly is a great way to make sure there is always one ready for others.

Thank you so much for helping us keep these carts available for everyone!
