Board Minutes – September 11, 2026

Fallbrook HOA Board of Directors | Meeting Minutes
September 11, 2026, 7:30 a.m.

Commons Area

  • Installing additional pet waste receptacles as the neighborhood expands and replacing damaged receptacles as needed.
  • The decision to allow some of the natural grasses along NW 1st to grow was based on a recommendation from landscape professionals to create a more natural appearance while reducing watering and overall maintenance needs. No new grasses were planted as part of this effort. Nebco is currently evaluating whether this approach is something they would like to continue exploring or whether to return the area to a fully mowed appearance.
  • New Urbanism alleys continue to be evaluated, with contractors being contacted to explore potential improvements.

CCR (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions)

Board Minutes – December 19, 2025

Fallbrook HOA Board of Directors  |  Board Minutes
December 19, 2025, 7:00 a.m.

Commons Area

Alley Maintenance
  • Alley repairs and crack sealing were completed satisfactorily.
  • The Board will obtain quotes for spray sealing now that contractor availability has improved.
Short Retaining Wall & Mulch Bed (Stonebrook Parkway)
  • This area will be added to the monthly maintenance schedule.
  • Eagle Nursery will be engaged to perform an initial cleanup, followed by routine maintenance (weeding and general cleanup).
  • Budget clarification is needed to determine what costs fall under “spring cleanup” versus “mulch.”
  • Action Item: Obtain quotes and associated costs for proper budget allocation.
  • Question: Confirm whether Yardworx has a rate increase for 2026.
Stream Maintenance
  • In 2026, larger stones will need to be repositioned and additional stones added.
  • Gana’s work for 2025 stream maintenance was not completed before the weather turned – those budget dollars are being rolled over to 2026.  Board budgeted $5,000 for stone repair in the stream bed.
Farmer’s Market
  • The market manager has relocated, and insurance coverage is required for continued operation.
  • The original intent of the Farmer’s Market was to draw traffic to the area. Given the neighborhood’s growth, expansion of nearby businesses, and traffic generated by the Summer Festival, this objective is no longer necessary.
  • The Board agreed taking over management of the Farmer’s Market is outside the HOA responsibility.

CCR (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions)

  • The Board will proceed with drafting various versions of letters to notify residents of CCR violations and request corrective action.
  • Prior to sending notices, the Board will conduct a proactive review of surrounding properties to ensure any similar violations are addressed consistently.

Budget Overview
  • Proposed HOA dues: $625 (8.7% increase).
  • New Urbanism dues: $135 (0% increase).
  • Action Item: Obtain updated lot counts from NEBCO (follow-up sent).
  • Action Item: Reserve space at the YMCA for the Annual Meeting on January 20, 2026.
Proposed Process Change
  • Any Yardworx or maintenance expenses outside routine services must be reviewed prior to approval.
  • The Board noted continued overspending in this category and discussed the need for greater transparency and controls.
