Welcome to Spring at Sandy Point
Cinco de Mayo Party
Our Cinco de Mayo party, catered by The Taco Guy, was a great success with a great turnout! Many thanks to Pat Dunlap, the Social Committee and everyone that helped with setup and cleanup. These events are a delightful way to get to know our neighbors.
Landscaping Company Change
The Board has contracted with Nissho of California, Inc. to provide landscape maintenance services for the community, beginning May 1, 2025. The maintenance schedule will be Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Please contact Management if you have any landscaping concerns rather than making requests to the landscape crew on-site.
Directory Update April 1st 2025
Our online directory has been updated. Many thanks to Susan Papenek and Pat Dunlap.
Maintenance Update
The Lagoon Committee is removing built-up sludge, which will be temporarily dried on adjacent grass areas before being disposed. Please keep children and pets away from the drying sludge. Pets must be on a leash and children must be supervised at all times. The lagoons are up to 4 feet deep and children must stay away from the lagoons and fake rocks.
Many thanks are due to Joe Petras and Maintenance Committee volunteers. They continue to save us $1,000s by removing sludge in the lagoon, fixing bollards, painting and general maintenance. The front gate control system has been updated to include battery backup for opening the gate if power fails during an emergency. Work on the Spa has been completed.
Gate Code Change
Our entry gate code changed on Feb 4th 2025. Homeowners should have received the new code by mail. It is not posted on this website. The guest code operates only from 6:00am to 8:00pm. Please use this code for guests, delivery people and contractors. The resident code is active at all times. The old code #wine is no longer valid. Residents that are not homeowners should contact the owner or Helm Management for the codes.
Please keep the pedestrian gate closed and never include the gate code on notices at the gate.
Clubhouse Rules
Homeowners should have received a copy of proposed changes to our Clubhouse Rules. Please review these rules and send your comments. if any, to Stephanie@helmmanagement.com.

Landscaping Plan – Turf replacement
The Board recently sent out this message to homeowners: (minor edited)
Sandy Point’s Turf Reduction plan looks to reduce our water consumption down from the 300% of our target usage to a more normal range, focusing on our Common Areas. Phase 1 addresses the Pool and Clubhouse area.
We are looking forward to a fresh, beautiful new landscape design and a lot less water usage (and expense!) in this area.

Security Cameras
The Board approved installation of security cameras in common areas including the entry gate. Recorded video will only be viewed if required to investigate a reported event. Live video will not be viewed. Homeowners may install cameras to monitor their own driveways and back yards.
Ting internet now available
Construction is complete and hook up of homes to Ting’s high-speed optical fiber internet is available. AT&T and Spectrum, continue to offer internet service to Sandy Point homes (possibly at a lower price and lower speeds).
