STREET CLOSURES DUE TO CICLAVIA – HEART OF LA EVENT:
Expect complete closures of multiple streets to vehicular traffic beginning at 7 am and continuing until 6 pm on Sunday, 10/12/25. Cyclists, pedestrians, and skaters will all be welcome to use these roads during this time and there will be a few streets permitting crossing points for vehicles. For more details, please consult the map in this link and plan accordingly,
PLUMBING REMINDERS:
- Leaks: Once a month take a good look under your sinks and heat pump to make sure there are no drips. Often drips go unnoticed for days, weeks, or months forming mold and mildew.
- Kitchen Drain Cleaning: Please do not pour grease, cooking oils, and solid materials down the drain. They accumulate in your drain lines, requiring drain cleaning.
- Garbage Disposal: Contrary to popular belief, whatever you put into disposal will not be immediately chopped up and disappear. In reality, the waste material may accumulate just a bit further down the drain line. Please be sure to only use the disposal while water is running and keep the water running for several seconds afterward.
Toilet: Do NOT flush items such as baby/sanitary wipes, band-aids, dental floss, hair, feminine-care products, medications, disposable diapers, cat litter, chewing gums, cigarette butts, cosmetics, paper towels, etc., can cause clogs in your home pipes, community sewer pipes, and water reclamation facilities.

BOARD APPOINTMENT ANNOUNCEMENT:
The Board is pleased to announce that Chris Robinson has been selected to fill the vacancy left by Erika Aklufi and will serve for the remainder of the current term. We thank Erika for her service and contributions to the community.
Please join us in welcoming Chris to the Board—we look forward to his participation and support as we continue our work on behalf of Santee Village.
KEEPING OUR COMMUNITY SAFE:
There have been recent attempts to enter the buildings by individuals without approved access.
- It is crucial not to share building codes or fobs with any non-resident friends, relatives, or delivery personnel, as this could lead to unauthorized access being passed on to others.
- Similarly, do not allow unknown vehicles which do not have the fobs to enter the garage. Wait until the gate closes behind you when entering.
Thank you for your attention and cooperation in keeping our community safe and secure.
