Damaged Door Repaired in Pool Area
A storage-area door by the pool is working after a contractor ordered and installed a garage-like overhead door Thursday.
The door was damaged a few weeks ago by unknown persons, apparently after it wasn't closed correctly. Vandals broke in, destroying what was left of the door and ransacking the storage area, but nothing was reported missing.
The area is used to store Los Lagos Vistas Christmas decorations and other items.

Jesse Gomez Joins Maintenance Team
7.18.2024 - Los Lagos Vistas has a new maintenance team member. Jesse Gomez is an accomplished masonry and landscaping professional who has worked as an independent contractor and for Lake Havasu contractors, including Kelm Con Co. and Armor Fence.
Jesse will fill in on weekly landscaping and stucco work, plus assist the maintenance team with irrigation, repairs, landscaping, and other duties.
"I'm committed to upholding the values of integrity, professionalism, and customer satisfaction in every project I undertake,” Jesse said.
Welcome Jesse as you see him working next week. He replaces a former team member who left unexpectedly.
LLV Sign Vandalism Being Repaired
7.15.2024 - Vandals apparently tried to steal the "L", "a", and "V" from the Los Logos Vistas entry signs over the weekend. The replacement signs are being ordered today, according to maintenance chief Dave Still. It will take two to three weeks to deliver.
Oddly, two of the letters, "L" and "a", were dropped off at the maintenance shed without a note or explanation.
The signage letters are attached to anchors deeply embedded into the block wall, indicating the three letters were taken by force, one leaving a piece of signage material on the end of the anchor.
No one knows why the "V" remains lost. Maybe taken by reptilian humanoid extra-terrestrials or perhaps extremely radical feminists needing a sign for their office? It's a Monday mystery.
ALLO technicians work on first unit terminal test in Circle 7. The cable in the photo is only for testing. The actual fiber optic cable is much smaller. Boxes and cables may be painted to match unit colors.
ALLO Installing First Condo Units
6.30.2024 - ALLO techs began a test-unit connection last week in Circle 7 to begin finalizing the company's network installation throughout Los Lagos Vistas. The unit connectors bring high-speed fiber optics directly to individual condos or townhomes.
Fiber optics eliminate any electronic or line interference seen in old-style cable connections, offering more reliable and speedy services.
The fiber optic line connects into your unit. A modem provides localized wifi, TV, and phone services.
Box and interior terminal installations are free. Residents don't have to subscribe to ALLO services, but they should allow outlet installations to their units to provide future options for both residents and new owners.
Trash Pickup Goes Weekly
6.4.2024 - Trash pickup moves to a weekly schedule this week, dropping from two days to one. Trash will be picked up Fridays.
To help prevent bin overflows, please cut or collapse cardboard boxes, sticks and wood, or other items that take up room. The maintenance team will periodically check circle dumpsters and crush trash with the bobcat tractor, but that takes time and gas to do. So, helping cut down bulk will keep things running smoothly.
The reduced pickups saved $600 per month after a pilot experiment last summer. Twice a week pickups will resume in the fall when winter visitors travel back.
POOL CLOSING DATE DELAYED
5.20.2024 - A glitch with the contractor has delayed pool maintenance and upgrades, so there is no date for the pool closing yet.
The planned repairs include new cool decking and general maintenance. The pool won't be drained, but covered. Watch for details here.
Volunteers Boost Campus Looks, Upgrades
Volunteer committees have helped create Los Lagos Vistas improvements and offset some financial challenges, according to committee reports at the recent HOA Board of Directors meeting last week. The Board also approved new carport rules, noted new dumpsters are being rotated in, and discussed maintenance issues. Kathy Yager said she will be stepping down as Circle Captain chair. Check out the minutes. Read all about it:
EV Charger Pilot Goes Well
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 WATER-LEAK REPAIRS TARGETED: The Los Lagos Vistas HOA Board set policies to tackle water-system leaks expected to save time and money repairing them. The Board also listed ongoing priorities for maintenance during the summer and changed maintenance team's summer working hours.
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.
Please Don't Feed Wildlife
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.

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.
