A S WE WRAP UP ANOTHER WONDERFUL YEAR in Bay Isle Pointe, we’re excited to share some festive updates, community progress, and heartfelt gratitude. Our neighborhood continues to shine because of the collective spirit, dedication, and collaboration of homeowners, volunteers, and leadership. Here’s what’s new and what’s ahead! Reminder: The holidays are over and all seasonal decorations should have been taken down and stored until the upcoming 2026 season. WELCOMING OUR NEW ASSOCIATION MANAGER: SAMANTHA SOOGIAN We are thrilled to introduce Samantha Soogian as Bay Isle Pointe’s new Association Manager! Samantha has been a vital part of the CHBIOA team for over seven years, bringing extensive experience, strong community relationships, and a genuine passion for helping homeowners love where they live. Her leadership, warmth, and dedication will no doubt bring great energy to Bay Isle Pointe. Please join us in giving her a warm and festive welcome! COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENTS: ASPHALT & CONCRETE UPGRADES COMPLETED Great news for our walkers, joggers, strollers, and pet lovers! Bay Isle Pointe recently completed asphalt and concrete repairs throughout the walkway common areas. These upgrades improve both safety and aesthetics— making daily strolls smoother, safer, and more enjoyable for everyone. Thank you to all residents for your patience during the construction period! ELECTRICAL BOX COMPLIANCE PROJECT UNDERWAY Keeping our community safe and up to code remains a top priority. Bay Isle Pointe is currently working on an electrical box improvement project to ensure that all boxes meet current compliance standards. More details will be shared as the project progresses, but rest assured—this important upgrade is well underway and focused on long-term reliability and safety.

TREE PLANTINGS AND PRUNING The City of Alameda has been replacing approximately 60 trees in Bay Isle Pointe curb strips. October Glory Maple, Swamp Myrtle, and Hedge Maple trees were chosen for their performance and suitability in our environment. The trees are City property and the city is responsible for planting and long term care. They will water the trees for one year. In 2026, Tree Sculpture will provide corrective pruning for the health and safety of our trees. Irrigation is off for the season. As always, if you see a water leak please contact the Community Office or report it at harborbay.org/work-order-request where you can include the location and pictures. CC&Rs AMENDMENT EFFORTS CONTINUE IN THE NEW YEAR The Board has been diligently working on important updates to the Bay Isle Pointe CC&Rs. In the New Year, homeowners can expect another ballot to vote on the proposed revisions. Additional information, timelines, and details will be presented at the next Board Meeting. Your participation is essential, and we thank you in advance for helping shape the future of our community! A HEARTFELT THANK-YOU TO OUR COMMITTEE VOLUNTEERS Bay Isle Pointe is fortunate to have a dedicated group of homeowner volunteers who devote their time, energy, and expertise to our neighborhood’s success. A warm and enthusiastic thank you goes out to both our Project Landscape Committee and the Project Architectural Committee. Your thoughtful insight, hands-on involvement, and ongoing commitment help maintain the beauty, harmony, and curb appeal that make Bay Isle Pointe such a special place to live. HERE’S TO A BRIGHT, JOYFUL SEASON IN BAY ISLE POINTE! As we look ahead to the New Year, we celebrate not just the improvements and projects—but the community spirit that makes this neighborhood feel like home. Wishing all of our Bay Isle Pointe residents a festive season filled with warmth, joy, and connection.
