Our Building Engineer, Luis Green, was the subject of a horrific attack
on July 11th. While he recovers,
we will have a temporary Engineer, Antonio Perez. Due to previous commitments Antonio will be
on site Mondays and Fridays. Please schedule HVAC
or Cable access on those days. For more
information about Luis or to help him out please see https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-luis-green
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.

this time.
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:
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.
Security Update
There have been 2 vehicle break-ins and 2 storage cage break-ins
recently, including at least one during the middle of a weekday afternoon. Please do not leave valuables in your vehicle
and make sure it is locked. Footage from
the security cameras has shown thieves jumping over both the G1 and G2 fences
as well as a thief on a bicycle following a vehicle through the gate. Be aware of your surroundings and exercise
caution when entering or leaving the garage.
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.
If your cage is in a storage room, please make sure to secure the
deadbolt on the storage room door when you exit. The storage rooms were broken into when the
building was new before the deadbolts were installed.
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.
The primary purpose for this change is to ensure the Association is in compliance
with water runoff requirements from the City of San Diego’s Stormwater
department. This requirement was not in effect at the time 1Mission was being
built, however a new law went into effect several years ago that the City is
now enforcing. The Association has
received two violations specific to this issue, which can range from $10K to
$15K per violation. To date, the Association
has been able to work with the City to forego paying any violations with the
understanding 1Mission would make the necessary changes to bring the community
in compliance with the water runoff requirements. A request for proposal and statement of work
have been created and sent to 3 landscaping companies for bids however due to COVID-19
related staffing issues none of the landscapers have been able to respond yet.
Planter Work
Please be aware members of the Common Area Committee and Mission Hills
Nursery will be working in the planters to reconfigure the irrigation and
drains. This work is also related to the
stormwater law enforcement and is being done to prevent water runoff into the
building sump, which then gets pumped out to the street.
Annual Fire
Inspection
HCI will be on site September 14th and 15th
to perform the State mandated Annual Fire Sprinkler System inspection. This will require access to every unit. Residents can provide a key and waiver form
to ProTec Engineering if they will not be here to provide access. Action will be sending additional scheduling
and process information, including HCI’s COVID-19 protocols, soon.
September
2020 Board Meeting
The
September Board meeting will be virtual meeting held on September 14th
due to September 7th being a Holiday. Action will send out meeting information with
how to log into the meeting. The Open
Session begins at 6:30pm, and Owners are welcome to attend.
1Mission Community Contact List
In order to stay in contact with your
neighbors, please consider adding your contact information to the 1Mission
community contact list. The next scheduled
update to the list will be sent out in October.
If you would like to be added to the list or have any changes, please
send an email with your information or update to 1Mcommunity.list.opt.in@gmail.com
by September 30th . If a number of requests are
received an update will be sent earlier.
The issues with the Association’s window washing life and safety
equipment have been resolved. Window
washing is scheduled
to take place starting Monday June 8th. Please make sure your windows are closed
while the workers are on site to avoid water entering your unit. Owners are responsible for cleaning windows
on their decks or patios. Ultra Building Services is able to provide
interior glass and balcony glass cleaning to all 1Mission residents. If you are
interested in this service and would like a quote, please contact Carlos Lopez directly at
619.315.9697 and he will schedule a date directly with you. Please see email from Action Property
Management sent on May 28th with additional information about this
service.
May
2020 Annual Meeting
The Association’s Annual Meeting and
Election was held on Monday, May 5, 2020 as a virtual meeting. An
organizational meeting was held afterwards.
Kurt Gering and Bill Persky were reelected to the board. The officer positions remain unchanged, with
Chris Weaver as President, Bill Persky as Vice President, Andrea Bauer as
Treasurer, and Kurt Gering as Secretary.
Please keep
in mind that Board members are volunteers who are responsible for overseeing
the management of the building by Action.
Issues or complaints should be directed to Action, not Board members.
June
2020 Board Meeting
The June
Board meeting will be held on June 1st as a virtual meeting. Action will send out meeting
information. The Open Session begins at
6:30pm, and Owners are welcome to attend.
Recycling Bins
Given the
current COVID-19 pandemic, the building has understandably seen a significant
increase in home deliveries. In an
effort to help navigate the increase in recyclable materials, please breakdown
boxes prior to disposing in recycling bins.
If floor specific bins are full or you have an oversized box, please
take recycling to the large bin located in the G1 trash room. The Association’s day porter, Raquel, uses
the bin located in the G2 recycling room as it is lower and more accessible for
her to empty the bins from each floor.
Grass Replacement Project
As requested
by the Board, 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.
The primary purpose for this change is to ensure the Association is in compliance
with water runoff requirements from the City of San Diego’s Stormwater
department. This requirement was not in effect at the time 1Mission was being
built, however a new law went into effect several years ago that the City is

Homeless
Population
Homelessness is
an extremely complex social problem that impacts the quality of life in our
community. There are no easy solutions. In an effort to understand
and address this issue, the Board has looked for guidance from the City of San
Diego and the San Diego Police Department (SDPD).
The Association
has a “Letter of Agency” on file with the local police, in conjunction with NO
TRESPASSING signs located at the two entrances of the Paseo area that include
specific verbiage as outlined in the guidance from the police department.
What does this
mean? Having a Letter
of Agency on file authorizes the SDPD to enter the property to investigate
suspicious activity and to arrest people who are trespassing or committing a
crime.
What can you
do? The best thing for homeowners to do is to contact the SDPD if the
presence of the homeless population concerns you. The more homeowners who
call, the more responsive the SDPD will be in addressing the complaints. Police resources (regular patrols not
relating to emergency calls) are reallocated regularly based on the police
reports that are filed.
If you witness a
homeless person on the property, residents are encouraged to call the SDPD
non-emergency number at 619-531-2000 or 858-484-3154, to report the
situation. If you are unable to call,
there is the option of reporting non-emergencies on-line (see below), which can
help the police gain a better idea of the frequency that occurs at 1Mission.
If it is an emergency
situation where a crime is in progress or about to happen, and involves
serious personal injury, property damage or property loss, call 911.
Reporting of Non-Emergencies: It is important
for homeowners to report ANY type of crime that occurs in or around
1Mission. SDPD allocates resources based
on the number of police reports filed, therefore, if the police see trends
relating to certain types of crimes (e.g. package thefts, thefts from the
garage, etc.) they will increase patrols in the area. Most non-emergency police
reports can be filed on line at https://www.sandiego.gov/police/services/nonemergencies, or you can call the SDPD’s 24-hour number
for non-emergency calls and general information at (619) 531-2000.
COVID-19
Please be
advised that the Board and Action Property Management are working 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. We request that residents be responsible for
the entrances to their units so that Raquel can focus on the common areas.

weekends, or remain at home, as ProTec is not on site on those days.

May
2020 Annual Meeting
The Association’s Annual Meeting and
Election will be held on Monday, May 5,
2020 as a virtual meeting. Owners should have received a ballot by
now. If you have not please contact
Action Property Management. In order to
comply with the meeting notice requirements, Election Inspectors will be
present in the 4th floor elevator lobby from 5:40pm until 6:00pm to
collect ballots that have not been mailed in, but no physical meeting will be
held there. Once the Inspectors have
reported the results of the voting the new Board will hold an organizational
meeting to appoint board positions.
Access Codes
In 2018 1Mission experienced unauthorized access to the building and
multiple package thefts. In an effort to mitigate the situation the Board approved
rekeying the common area locks, eliminating the front door access codes for
residents and assigning individual codes to vendors. The primary purpose of this action was to
address resident safety and building security.
Management recently changed the vendor codes and will continue to do so
as needed. Please do not ask vendors for
their codes as this will cause the codes to be changed again, which disrupts
deliveries for other residents. If you
need access without a key or fob please contact Management to request that your
cell phone number be programmed into the access system so you can buzz yourself
in.
Window Washing
The annual inspection of the Association’s window washing life and safety
equipment revealed some deficiencies that require repair. As a result, the semiannual window washing
scheduled for May will be delayed.
Paper Statements
Did you know that mailing paper HOA dues statements costs the Association
about $600 per year? Please consider
enrolling for eStatements at https://resident.actionlife.com/ It saves money and also eliminates mail delivery
time variability. You can also set up
auto-pay to avoid late fees.
1Mission Community Contact List
In order to stay in contact with your
neighbors, please consider adding your contact information to the 1Mission
community contact list. The next scheduled
update to the list will be sent out in July.
