Thanks Susan Pahan for capturing one of the Los Lagos Vistas Fat Tuesday Parade segments. Jane and Jim Corbett led a quick gathering of residents to celebrate Fat Tuesday, which in French is Mardi Gras.
The celebration launched the Lenten Season and included beads and a food truck at the roundabout.

But wait! There's more. Bingo, breakfasts, and more fun coming.
Annual Meeting Minutes Posted
Although the Los Lagos Vistas HOA Annual Meeting wasn't a regular business meeting, the Board of Directors revealed new Board members, presented brief reports on committee activities, updated the pool status, and listed goals for 2025.
Election Results, New Annual Report Released
Eric Grimm and Noreen Schaeffer were elected to the Los Lagos Vistas HOA Board of Directors at its Annual Meeting Thursday at the Aquatic Center. Bob Litz also was elected but he had to withdraw for personal reasons.
The Board needs an additional volunteer homeowner to complete a quorum. Treasurer Mark Holmes who helped with vote counting said there were five write-in votes, so the Board will seek a volunteer from this group.
Annual Report Takes Strategic Direction
The meeting featured several reports and the release of the HOA's Annual Report. The Annual Report is the culmination of the HOA's Long Range Planning Committee, the Board's vision, and a summary of HOA achievements during the 2024-2025 year. Watch for more information.
The report is organized under new vision and mission statements, five critical strategic areas, and a listing of key accomplishments under each strategic area.
A copy of the Annual Report may be viewed here: 2024-2025 Los Lagos Vistas Annual Report.
Watch for more updates on the meeting and new HOA goals.
Don't Forget to Submit Your New Contact Form

Work is underway by Horizon Custom Pools to scrape down existing plaster covering to replace with new tile.
The Los Lagos Vistas pool is undergoing a major overhaul and will close during the refurbishment. The initial project work will take approximately 30 days before the pool can be refilled, plus another 30 days for curing before the water can be heated.
Rec-area events are expected to continue without interruption during construction.
Board Elections Coming: Throw Your Hat in the Ring
Three seats are up for election in January for the volunteer HOA Board of Directors. If you want to run for a board position, please submit a nomination form. Ballots will be counted at the Annual Meeting 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 20, at the Aquatic Center.
New Pool Service Selected
Nov. 10, 2024 - The Los Lagos Vistas HOA Board selected Liquid Assets to provide pool cleaning services beginning Monday, Nov. 11.
HOA President Jason Hart said the Board is always looking for ways to improve and enhance Los Lagos Vistas services provided by outside vendors. Liquid Assets was one of several pool companies the Board reviewed.
Liquid Assets has been in business more than 18 years locally maintaining commercial and residential pools and spas. The company services the Nautical Resort, London Bridge/Kokomos and Islander Resort pools, among others.
Owner Joshua Scordel said the company is experienced in heavy bather loads and specializes in pool preservation and water conservation.
He said the company uses the same chemical reagents as the Health Department and meets and exceeds Health Department requirements for commercial pool services. Additionally, Liquid Assets tests and treats for other conditions to prevent pool problems, such as dissolved solids and phosphates.
The first installation of an electrical vehicle charger in a Circle 1 carport has worked well without complications. The Los Lagos Vistas HOA board is approving two more installations to meet homeowner requests as more people adopt electric car usage.
The chargers are hooked into individual units and electric bills are paid by homeowners.
4.19.24 HOA OKs CARPORT RULES The Los Lagos Vistas HOA Board of Directors unanimously approved a new rule to help ensure a quality campus appearance when it comes to carport storage and use. The rules aim to clarify carport use and appearance requirements.
4.10.24 ANY CONCERNS ABOUT ALLO DAMAGE OR RESTORATIONS? The HOA Board must identify any construction fixes that need to be done before the Allo crews leave. Homeowners can help by reporting any damage or incomplete restorations where Allo contractors have worked. Please email the maintenance team by May 10. Include building and circle numbers so they can be inspected and added to the “punch list,” a final work list to ensure the campus is returned to its original state from the trenching and digging to install the new fiber-optic network.
4.4.24 BOARD OKs UPDATED ROCK POLICY: To encourage common-area upgrades, Los Lagos Vistas HOA will provide rock and approved rock selections for homeowners to use in common areas and parking circles. The HOA is working to reduce high-water use areas and cut utility costs using xeriscaping and desert landscaping, primarily with colored rock and rock designs. For specific common areas around buildings or circle parkways, rock will be provided.
Rock will be purchased and stored on site for homeowner access. Architectural requests will determine how rock will be used and if there are any shared costs. Specialty rock will not be part of what the HOA provides. The HOA also won’t provide special plants.
Ground feeding birds or throwing out snacks to rabbits attracts rats and mice and hungry predators, such as coyotes and bobcats. Please only feed birds from appropriate bird feeders and don't leave discarded fruit, vegetables, or meat on the grass. Residents have seen puppies snatched and killed, and successful predator hunts leave carcasses exposed attracting more vermin. Let nature do what nature does.

NEED YOUR FOB TO GET INTO THE POOL AREA? Having a fob gives you access to the pool and recreation area. Your pool keys are still needed for the bathrooms and bocce ball courts. Each homeowner receives a fob for free. Second fobs are $25 per household. If you lose a fob, the fee is $250 to replace it and reprogram it. Call 928.230.4263 to arrange to pick up your fob.
ALLO FREE HOTSPOT IN POOL AREA Thanks to Allo Fiber Optic, Los Lagos Vistas residents have access to a free wireless hotspot in the pool area. Look for the Los Lagos Rec network and sign in.
Because of liability and insurance concerns, the off-leash dog area must be locked. But if you need a code, it's easy to get: Fill out a waiver form.
The off-leash area allows a running area for the pups and a time to socialize with other dogs and neighbors. The area has water for dogs and a picnic table for people, although the water's a little warm this time of year.
Got your waiver done?
FREE KAYAK STORAGE: The HOA Board approved two locations for free kayak storage to give homeowners and their renters a place to store watercraft. The board is waiving fees to help people comply with current regulations and maintain attractive and orderly carports. One rack is by the maintenance shed near the tennis courts and one is behind the rec area gate.
Kayak owners must provide their own security locks and covers, if desired, and register for rack space by filling out an application form. Board members will be reaching out to residents not in compliance with carport storage policies.
Completed forms should be placed in the HOA mail box near the pool or mailed to Los Logos Vistas HOA, 1700 Montana Vista, Lake Havasu City, AZ 86403.
