April 7: PCHOA Transition Advisory Group - A new update presentation for homeowners

On Monday, April 7, 10 a.m., Rick Savage, Co-chair of PebbleCreek's Transition Advisory Group (TAG), will provide an update about the transition from Robson Communities, Inc. (RCI), to homeowners, the history of TAG, and what lies ahead for homeowners of PebbleCreek. The community has so many questions regarding the transition from a developer-controlled community (Robson) to one controlled solely by the residents: When? How will it take place? Will my assessments increase? And on and on. This is an informative and important presentation about the future of PebbleCreek.

The mission of the (TAG) is to evaluate all elements related to the transition of management of the HOA from the developer to the homeowners. The TAG will make recommendations to the board of directors to ensure consistency and effectiveness in current operations as the HOA moves on without developer support. TAG members are appointed by the board and is comprised of residents who are familiar with PebbleCreek and who can offer expertise in the various elements of the transition.
