The Ventura Keys Home Owner Association Board is still collecting votes on the updated CCRs. Our goal is to open the ballots and record the votes at our meeting on September 2nd, 6:30 pm, 1575 Spinnaker Ave., Suite 205, Ventura, CA 93001.

 

As of the July 15 deadline, we have received 295 valid ballots out of the 854 sent. At that time none of the 7 tracts had reached a quorum (50% voted). As a result the Inspectors of Election has instructed the board to extend the voting period. Owners who have not submitted a ballot will be sent another letter/reminder in the next few weeks that votes will be accepted through September 2, 2019, in hopes of getting a quorum of owners to vote.

 

To save mailing costs the letter will not include the ballot package. For convenience, owners can download/print the ballots and materials here or they can contact the Keys Board at (805) 677-2601 to obtain a ballot. Return the cast ballot by mail as directed in the ballot instructions or bring it to the meeting on September 2nd. The same applies if you lost your ballot from the previous mailing.

 

Here are the links to download the materials:

Sincerely,

Board of Directors

The Ventura Keys has 7 different groups of properties in the CC&R's.  Here is a map showing these groups:

The existing CC&Rs for Ventura Keys Association homes will be expiring in the very near future.  The VKA Board members and their legal counsel have been working hard to draft an updated version of the CC&Rs.  Renewal of the CC&Rs is extremely important; without them homeowners lose the ability to enforce restrictions such as those related to views of the waterways and storage of boats/RVs.  Renewal of the CC&Rs also puts the CC&Rs in alignment with current city and county code.  Please take a moment to compare the original CC&Rs with the newly stated CC&Rs by clicking on the appropriate links here:  Original CC&Rs  and New CC&Rs with tracked changes.  A meeting with VKA residents is set for 6pm on February 12, 2019 at Pierpont Elementary School.  Please mark your calendar! 

The Nextdoor App is a great way of staying informed about events occurring in the Keys neighborhood.  To join simply click on Nextdoor.com.  You will be asked for your name and address which will automatically sync you to the Keys neighborhood.  You can choose in your settings what adjacent neighborhoods you would also like to view.  Only Keys neighbors will be able to see your name and address (you are able to also de-select this as well.)  If you have any questions regarding how to use the app please contact Kim Castro at kimberlyc@roadrunner.com.
