Holiday Party

Save the date! The Alicante Holiday Party is happening on Sunday, December 6, 2026.

Join your neighbors for an evening of cheer, laughter, and community fun. Stay tuned—more details coming soon!

Window Washing Schedule Update

The exterior window cleaning originally scheduled for November 2026 has been postponed to the second half of February 2027. The Board made this decision for two reasons. First, operating expenses have run higher than budgeted this year, and moving the approximately $14,000 cleaning into the next fiscal year will help reduce this year’s operating deficit. Second, cleaning in late February, after San Diego’s wetter months, will keep windows cleaner longer. The Board anticipates cleanings in late February and August 2027.

Some residents have asked about other projects. The garage gate replacement is paid from reserve funds already set aside for the 20+ year-old gate, while window cleaning comes from the operating budget. The EV charging station project is funded entirely by the 25 participating homeowners and does not affect Association funds.

The Board apologizes for the inconvenience and for not communicating this change sooner. For more information, please review the Board Meeting Minutes and budget information on the Alicante Resident Portal.

A Friendly Reminder: Smoke and Noise Travel

At Alicante, we all enjoy living on our patios and balconies. It’s one of the best parts of living in this community, but it’s worth a quick reminder that smoke and noise don’t respect property lines.

Cigarette and marijuana smoke can easily drift from one patio to the next, especially in close-set homes. What feels like a relaxing habit on your own patio can mean closed windows, lingering odors, and disrupted evenings for a neighbor just a few feet away. For residents with asthma, allergies, or other health sensitivities, secondhand smoke isn’t just an inconvenience. It is a genuine health concern. In fact, California added marijuana smoke to its Proposition 65 list of known cancer-causing substances in 2009, and secondhand exposure can also carry the effects of THC. Noise, such as music or barking, can also travel from patios and balconies and down hallways.

We’re not asking anyone to give up their patio time. A little awareness goes a long way:

• Be mindful of wind direction and how close you are to shared walls, windows, or neighboring patios.
• Check in with your neighbors if you’re unsure whether smoke is drifting their way or noise can be heard.
• Consider smoke-free alternatives when you’re close to neighbors.

Small courtesies like these help keep our community comfortable for everyone. Thank you for doing your part to make Alicante a great place for all of us to call home.

Building Safety

Please make sure to be aware of your surroundings when entering or exiting the HOA.

We cannot stress enough the importance of not allowing unknowns into the building.  Should you notice any suspicious activity or anyone trying to enter the garage or front door, please do not hesitate to call San Diego Police Non-Emergency Number at 619-531-2000.  If someone is waiting by the door and requests you allow them access, advise them they must call their host for access. 

Lost Items

Items that are found by the Building Engineer and Janitorial Staff in the garage, lobby, and amenity rooms are turned in to Management. If you believe you have misplaced an item, please contact Management at hmunoz@actionlife.com to check and see if it has been turned in.

To the Owners and Tenants of Alicante, Board Meeting  The July Board of Directors Meeting will be held on Thursday, July 23, 2026 in the Community Room and via Zoom with Open Session beginning at 6:00pm.   Moves/Deliveries All moves and deliveries must be scheduled with Management at least a week in advance. A general rule of thumb is if it takes more than one person to move it, then a move must be scheduled.  The reason is simply to protect the building from sustaining damage during a move.  Please be advised that if you are found to have had an unscheduled move, you will be subject to hearing and fine.  If you are unsure of the scope of your move or would like to schedule a move, please contact the General Manager.  Parking Be advised that the Association has additional parking spots for rent.  Interested? Please contact General Manager Hugo Munoz at hmunoz@actionlife.com for more information.   EV Rates  July 1, 2026 Effective July 1, 2026, Alicante will be updating its charging rates, and introducing time-of-use (TOU) pricing on all 30 EVCSs, inclusive of both the 5 shared EVCSs, and the 25 exclusive-use EVCSs as follows:   Peak hours (6:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.): $0.40 per kWh Off-peak hours (10:00 p.m. – 6:00 a.m.): $0.35 per kWh   SDG&E periodically adjusts its TOU rates, and we will monitor those changes and make updates to our pricing when appropriate.   Recycling Great job Alicante residents!  Since the installation of the new recycling education signs by the Common Area Enhancement Committee there is substantially less contamination in the recycling bins on the P1 garage level.  Please continue to flatten your cardboard boxes and keep all plastic bags out of the recycling bins.  Both of these actions help prevent fines from our waste hauler.  For more information on what should go in the recycling bin please see the attached flyer from the City of San Diego. Did you Know…? Did you know that if you have a ceiling fan in your residence that you should be running it counter-clockwise in the warmer months to help cool your room?  Running them clockwise in the winter pulls cold air up which warms up the room and running them counterclockwise in the summer pushes cool air down which cools the room.

To the Owners and Tenants of Alicante,

Board Meeting

The next Board of Directors Meeting will be held on Thursday, June 25, 2026 in the Community Room and via Zoom with Open Session starting at 6:00pm. We hope to see you there!

Annual Meeting Results

The Annual Board of Directors Meeting was held on April 21th. Alexander Agopovich and Thomas B Gauld were elected to serve on the Board. Congratulations Alexander Agopovich and Thomas!

Alicante Recycling Program

Thanks to the Alicante Common Area Enhancement Committee we now have new recycling signs posted over the two recycling bins located on the P1 Level.  The goal of updating our public education on recycling is to reduce the contamination caused by putting non-recyclable items, (like plastic bags of all types), in the recycling bins and to encourage everyone to flatten your cardboard boxes!  Eliminating the contamination in our recycling bins helps keep our disposal fees low and flattening your boxes provides room for everyone’s recyclables to fit into the bins. Need a reminder of what should go in the recycling bin? See attached flyer.

Alicante Committees

Did you know that joining one of Alicante’s committees is a great way to get involved in helping maintain and improve our Community?   Time commitment and meetings vary by committee.  If you are interested in knowing more about these committees or volunteering for any of these committees please send an email to Alicante’s Senior Property Manager Hugo Munoz at hmunoz@actionlife.com letting him know which committee you are interesting in joining and why you would like to join that committee no later than Tuesday June 16, 2026 before 2:00pm
