Fly the United States Flag at Half-Staff Immediately Until Sunset on Friday, February 26, 2021 Remembering the 500,000 Americans Lost to COVID-19
A Proclamation on Remembering the 500,000 Americans Lost to COVID-19
February 22, 2021 • Presidential Actions
As of this week during the dark winter of the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 500,000 Americans have now died from the virus. That is more Americans who have died in a single year of this pandemic than in World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War combined. On this solemn occasion, we reflect on their loss and on their loved ones left behind. We, as a Nation, must remember them so we can begin to heal, to unite, and find purpose as one Nation to defeat this pandemic.
In their memory, the First Lady and I will be joined by the Vice President and the Second Gentleman for a moment of silence at the White House this evening. I ask all Americans to join us as we remember the more than 500,000 of our fellow Americans lost to COVID-19 and to observe a moment of silence at sunset. I also hereby order, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and on all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset February 26, 2021. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same period at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day of February, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fifth.
JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.

COVID-19 has once again impacted our ability to present our concert “Sing, Sing, Sing” – The Big Band Beat. With no definite date set for us to perform, Community Singers will provide refunds to the original ticket purchaser for this concert.
Beginning Monday, February 8, 2021, place your purchased tickets in an envelope marked on the outside as “Community Singers Ticket Refund Request.” Including inside the envelope all tickets to be refunded and a contact sheet with your Full Name, Address, Email Address, and Phone Number, and deposit the sealed envelope at the Montecito Clubhouse Lifestyle desk in the box provided. Contents of the box will be collected every Wednesday. You will be contacted to arrange for you to pick up your refund check. We strongly suggest you save a photocopy of your purchased tickets.
Please be patient – with 400 tickets sold, it may take some time to receive your refund. Details of the process can also be found below. Should you choose to do so, you may choose to allow your purchase amount to be donated back to the Community Singers Club instead of receiving a refund.
We very much look forward to when we will be able to sing again with our Community Singers and for our faithful friends in our audiences.
Any questions please refer to our club treasurer, Jim Adamik (jadamik@verizon.net).
Printed copies should be expected in your mailbox the first week of February.

Project Memo
Project Purpose: The Montecito Clubhouse driveway entrances and roundabout stamped concrete was exhibiting numerous structure breaks and was causing a safety hazardous concern for vehicles and pedestrians. The difficulty in repairing this type of concrete structure breaks is removing isolated concrete failures without damaging the concrete adjacent to the failure. This has been demonstrated with earlier isolated repairs of the existing stamped concrete.
Project Assessment: In 2019, the Board approved for an independent Pavement Engineering Consultant to evaluate the problematic driveway stamped concrete. The purpose of the inspection was to evaluate the existing stamped concrete and determine how the problematic concrete conditions can be remediated. The Pavement Engineering Consultant concluded that these types of failures in the stamped concrete and concrete bands will continue, as they age, and it would be financially beneficial to the HOA to remove and replace the pavement.
Construction Cost: The replacement of the stamped concrete is a fully funded Replacement Fund expenditure that was scheduled to be completed in 2020. The construction cost for the project is fully funded from the Replacement Fund and is not part of the 2021 Operating budget.

Update: the road is now open.
A vehicle was involved in a single car accident on the east end of Avenue 40 and Monroe intersection. No Sun City Shadow Hills residents were involved. The street closure is due to the reconstruction of the traffic collision for the police department’s investigation. In the meantime, traffic is being diverted. Please avoid this route.
Beginning January 1, 2021, the monthly assessment will increase to $306 per month. As a reminder, the Board approved a one-time credit in the amount of $144 per homeowner; the net amount due for January is $162. The coupon books have been mailed but there is no coupon for the month of January. If you pay by check, please be sure to include your account number on your check. If you prefer a coupon, please contact the HOA office.
