THIS IS A THREE PART MESSAGE FOR
ALPHA HOMEOWNERS WHO RENT THEIR CABIN.
————————————- Part 1 ——————————————
UPDATING RENTAL INFORMATION
As a way to help us update and manage the information regarding rentals in Lilac Park, the Board of Directors is requesting that all ALPHA Homeowners complete a short form. See link below.
There are several reasons the board wants to have this information, and providing it is required by law. If we receive any complaints or reports of inappropriate activity taking place on the property, the Board must have current information to be able to follow up in a timely fashion.
Additionally, over the last several months a few homeowners have noticed a significant increase in traffic at unusual hours to various homes in Lilac Park. While this traffic may very well be innocent, other concerned homeowners have noted that it may be attributed to illegal activity.
There have also been a number of thefts and other crimes reported recently in Lilac Park, including a case of arson. Having up-to-date information about who is living in our community will allow the board to communicate appropriately with renters, homeowners, and, if necessary, local law enforcement.
If you rent your Lilac Park home, for either short or long-term stays, please take a moment to fill out the Rental Information Form.

TENANT USE OF THE SWIMMING POOL IN 2012
If you want your tenants to have access to the pool in 2012, please be sure to complete the “Tenant Authorization Form.” Completing this form will send an authorization to you that you can give to your tenants, which will allow them access to the pool.
With the completion of the new solar panel installation planned for May, we expect to see an increase in pool use this year and it is our aim to avoid any miscommunication about who can and cannot use the pool.
Completion of this form is required for both short term and long term tenants.

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS NOW REQUIRED BY LAW
If you rent your Lilac Park home, this is a just a friendly reminder that SB 183 (carbon monoxide detector), passed by the California Legislature in July, 2011. It is enforceable after January 1, 2013.
If you have any kind of appliance or heater that burns fossil fuels in your Lilac Park home, a carbon monoxide detector is required by law. If you do not install and maintain one and someone is injured due to a carbon monoxide poisoning, you could be liable both civilly and criminally.
The purpose of this note is simply to inform you of the new law. ALPHA is not going to be monitoring or enforcing this requirement and it’s unclear if anyone else is either. However, if you don’t have one installed and something happens in your rental, you could be liable for injuries resulting from a malfunctioning appliance or other problem.
Ace Hardware carries a few different types of CO detectors and cost is between $20 and $60. Many use wall power and do not require batteries.
