The Gull's Call - Oct/Nov/Dec 2025

AssociationNews Baywood Village by Diana Torres, Association Manager B AYWOOD VILLAGE HOSTED ITS VERY FIRST ICE Cream Social - poolside—and what a sweet success it was! We had a fantastic turnout, with neighbors of all ages coming together to enjoy cool treats, laughter, and great conversation. It was heartwarming to see so many friendly faces and to welcome newer residents into the fold. Events like these truly remind us what makes Baywood Village such a special place to call home. We also had the pleasure of meeting our new board member, Rick Mozolic. Rick brings fresh energy and ideas to the Baywood Village Board, and we’re excited to have him join our leadership team. Be sure to say hello when you see him around the neighborhood! While we’re enjoying fun community events, there are also some important neighborhood updates to keep on your radar: PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROJECT The City of Alameda has begun its pavement management program, which will include street resurfacing work in and around Baywood Village. All homeowners should be receiving a letter directly from the City of Alameda with more details on timing, affected areas, and what to expect. This work is an important part of keeping our community safe and our neighborhood streets in great condition. SEWER LATERAL PROJECT – STARTING IN OCTOBER Another major project coming soon is the Sewer Lateral Project, scheduled to begin in October. This work is required for maintaining our community’s infrastructure and ensuring the long-term health of our sewer systems. Notices with specific details and schedules will be sent to affected homeowners so please keep an eye out for updates.

Brittany Landing Bay by Sandy Olsen I HOPE EVERYONE HAD A FUN SUMMER AND IS looking forward to Fall and the holiday season! The Board wants to thank all the homeowners who have volunteered to make a difference in the quality of our community by working to update our Pool, Architectural and Parking Rules, by updating and replacing our pool and spa signage to meet CA law requirements, by checking the spa/pool water daily, and by providing other services that benefit all of us. If you have a few hours a month to volunteer, please contact our Association Manager, Nicelle Delos Reyes at BLB@harborbay.org. POOL INFORMATION We experienced multiple instances of trespassing this past summer at the pool, and by padlocking the area between 10pm and 8am we have cut down on trespassing. Unauthorized persons pose safety and liability issues for BLB, so please do not let people into the area who do not have a key. If you believe there are unauthorized people in the area during regular hours or after hours, please call Harbor Bay Security at 510-865-0417 so an officer can respond and handle the situation. LANDSCAPING BLB volunteers worked with EBMUD and Irrigation Consultants for nine months to determine how to update our irrigation system controllers. As a result of the analysis, a WeatherTRAK Smart Irrigation Controller has been installed on the north side. The goal is to expand this computerized system to the south side in 2026 once its effectiveness is proven. Key features of the smart controller: • Optimizes water usage by using real-time weather data to adjust watering schedules, giving trees and plants water when it’s most needed. • Provides remote monitoring, adjustments, and immediate notification of system issues, including breaks and leaks, so that C&D workmen can address them promptly.
