Happy New Year!
Christmas Tree Disposal
Due to low demand last year and increased vendor costs, there will not be
a dumpster on site for Christmas trees.
Please dispose of your tree at one of the city’s tree recycling drop off
locations. Information can be found at https://www.sandiego.gov/environmental-services/recycling/events/christmas The nearest location is Mission
Bay.
HOA Fee Changes
Please remember monthly HOA fees increased effective January 1st. Be sure to update your monthly payment amount
if you are setup for auto pay. Late fees
will be assessed if your account is not paid in full by the 15th of
each month.
Security Update
At the January 4th Open Session meeting the Board approved a
proposal to add additional fencing in the parking garage in an effort to
address verified access to the building by individuals who jump over the fence
into the homeowner parking areas on G1 and G2.
The fencing will be extended to the ceiling on G1 and around the ramp
walls. The Board and the Common Area
Committee are evaluating steps that can be taken to prevent further theft of
our patio cushions.
Developer Defect Update
The City has
reviewed the plans to address the garage flooding issue. Based on the City’s request for additional
information the Board approved contracts at the January meeting for Structural
and Electrical Engineering consulting services.
The Board also approved a contract for the design of a solution to the negative
air pressure problem in the building.
Trash Guidelines
Please do not put long items down the trash chute, such as brooms, mops,
or similar items. If the item is longer
than the trash chute diameter then it should be taken to the trash room since
these items cause the trash chute to become blocked.
The trash dumpster is typically emptied Monday, Wednesday and Friday
mornings so the longest time between pickups is over the weekend. If you can defer emptying your trash to a
weekday it will help avoid dumpster overflows, which can be costly to clean up.
Pest Control Changes
The
Association was notified by our pest control vendor of a change in the
chemicals used in the rodent bait traps.
The required disclosure notice that is in the mailroom has been updated
with the changes.
Pet Etiquette
In accordance with the 1Mission’s Rules & Regulations please keep the
following in mind when it comes to your pets:
- Pets are required to be on a leash in all Common
areas of the building, which includes the patio.
- Pets are not permitted to defecate or urinate within
any portion of the Association property, which includes the courtyard and the
walls around the exterior of the building.
Patio Umbrellas
Residents are welcome to adjust the placement of the umbrellas, but please
be mindful to keep the umbrella fabric a safe distance away from the fireplace
chimney and barbeque grills.
Grass Replacement Project Update
The Common
Area Committee (CAC) has been working on a project to remove the grass from the
parkways on Fort Stockton Drive and Falcon Street. The plan is to have the grass replaced with crushed
granite, boulders, and plantings. The Board
approved awarding the project to Urban Landcare and the design is being
finalized.
COVID-19, Face
Coverings and Elevator Etiquette
Please be aware that the California face covering mandate applies to the
hallways and common areas at 1Mission which are considered public spaces. The full policy including exemptions can be
found at:
https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/guidance-for-face-coverings.aspx
If you are planning to have any work done in your unit or services
provided by a vendor, you are responsible for ensuring they adhere to the
requirements.
The requirement for social distancing also applies to the elevators, so
please avoid crowding the elevators and be understanding if your neighbors may
wish to travel in the elevators alone.
Please do
not press the elevator buttons with your shoes as this is very unsanitary for
your neighbors.

Security Update
Please do not leave keys, fobs, or valuables in your car. The recent rekeying of the common area locks
cost the association over $1,700. The
Common Area Committee is evaluating additional measures for improving the
security of the residential parking areas.
At the November meeting the Board approved purchasing a heavier door
with a 3-point lock for the storage area on G1 that was broken into twice.
Upcoming Mailers
The Board approved the 2021 budget and reserve study at the November
meeting. Action has sent the
informational packet to owners via email and a hard copy is following in the
mail. If your monthly dues are setup as
an automatic payment, please update your payment amount starting in January to
avoid late fees and interest.
The request for Board candidates will also be mailed out soon. There are 3 seats open in 2021, so if you
would like to be involved in running the Association please submit your
candidate statement before January 4th.
Holiday
Decorations
Holiday decorations are allowed from
the day after Thanksgiving until January 10th. No owner or resident may place decorations on
plants or other areas within the Association’s common areas. Please ensure that holiday lights do not
disturb other residences.
Holiday
Gratuity
The Association does not provide holiday bonuses to vendors that work in the building. Based on feedback from the membership, it was determined several years ago that recognizing 1Mission’s building engineer and janitorial staff during the holiday season would reside with individual owners. This is a very delicate topic that people may handle in very different ways. The Association wants to provide owners the ability to recognize the people who care for our building as he/she determines as appropriate.
Recycling
During the holiday season the building
will naturally encounter an increase in cardboard boxes and other recyclable
materials. Please remember to break down
all boxes before putting them in the blue recycle bins. If the bins are full please hand carry
recyclables to the large bins located in G1 and G2. The floor in each of the small trash rooms
must remain clear of any trash or recycling.
Grass Replacement Project Update
As mentioned
in the May newsletter, the Common Area Committee (CAC) has been working on a
project to remove the grass from the parkways on Fort Stockton Drive and Falcon
Street. The plan is to have the grass
replaced with crushed granite, boulders, and plantings. The first RFP was sent out to multiple
vendors in March 2020, however due to COVID-19, vendors were not in a position
to respond to the RFP due to staffing challenges. A second RFP was sent out in the fall, and to
date the Association received 2 proposals that were reviewed at the November Board
meeting. The CAC and the Board felt the
proposals were not comparable so additional vendors have been identified and
proposals requested.

Building Engineer
Our Building Engineer, Luis Green, has accepted a position as an
Electrician and his last day at 1Mission is Friday October 23rd. Please join the Board in congratulating him
on the next step in his career and thank him for his service at 1Mission. Luis’ replacement will be his father, Luis
Green Sr. Due to previous commitments Luis
Sr. will be on site Wednesdays and Fridays. Please schedule HVAC
or Cable access on those days.
Security Update
There was a bicycle stolen from one of the storage areas last
weekend. When it was discovered it was
noted that the deadbolt was not locked.
Please make sure to secure the deadbolt on the storage room door when
you exit. The storage cages have safety
latches inside to prevent getting locked in the cage. It appears that thieves have tools to
activate the safety latches from outside and enter the cage. You may want to consider adding a chain lock
to the door. An example of how to do this
without interfering with the adjacent cage can be seen in the storage area in
the northeast corner of the G2 parking area. It is recommended to report thefts to the
police and property management company.
Elevator Update
The elevators have gone out of service several times recently. The Common Area Committee is working with
Mitsubishi to determine the causes of the failures. A service repair report from Mitsubishi noted
there are signs that the doors have
been forcibly prevented from closing which can cause damage. The service visits to put the
elevators back in service are quite expensive so please let the doors close
once they indicate “Door Closing”.
Appliance Replacement
Are you getting ready to replace an oven, water heater or dryer? Please be aware the voltage required for
these appliances is 208 volts at 1Mission vs. 240 volts in single family homes. Not all appliances that are designed for 240v
will operate at 208v or work as well.
For example older models of Samsung and LG dryers would operate at 208v
but the current models do not.
Grass Replacement Project
As mentioned
in the May newsletter, the Common Area Committee has been working on a project
to remove the grass from the parkways on Fort Stockton Drive and Falcon Street. The plan is to have the grass replaced with
decomposed granite, boulders, and plantings.
A request for proposal and statement of work was sent out in May but no
companies responded. A refined RFP/SOW
was sent this month to 4 landscaping companies for bids and 2 have committed to
provide a proposal in time for the next Board meeting.
November
2020 Board Meeting
The November Board meeting will be virtual meeting held
on November 9th to accommodate our manager Kelly Thomson’s
vacation. Kelly will be out of the
office October 20-27 and unable to prepare for the usual meeting date. During her absence Community Manager Martha
Barragan will be filling in. She can be
reached at mbarragan@actionlife.com Please note that all emergencies, work orders
or any basic community information can be obtained on the resident portal or by
calling 800-400-2284 for the fastest response to your questions.
COVID-19
Please be
advised the Board and Action Property Management have worked with ProTec
Janitorial Services to implement measures to address concerns about the
transmission of COVID-19. Our day
porter, Raquel, is cleaning and sanitizing the entrance door surfaces and
elevator buttons at least 3 times per day and has increased cleaning and
sanitizing of the mail room and recycling bin lids as well as the trash chute
handles. Residents are responsible for
the entrances to their units so that Raquel can focus on the common areas.
Residents
are welcome to disinfect surfaces as they enter and exit the property on the
weekends, or remain at home, as ProTec is not on site on weekend days.
Please do
not discard wipes or other non-toilet paper products in toilets as this may
cause a backup.
