OSCA currently has the following committees:
RECREATION COMMITTEE (“REC”)
The Recreation Committee coordinates, organizes and funds the community events that are held for the enjoyment of the community. Any excess funds that are raised at these wonderful events help to fund improvements to the community. It takes a great deal of volunteerism, hard work and creativity to make these events successful. Volunteers are always needed for this fun-filled committee!
ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE (“ARC”)
The Board has appointed an Architectural Review Committee, that has the authority to approve, reject, modify, give conditional approvals, and give limited approvals of improvements and alterations to members properties as provided for in the Association’s Architectural Standards.
ARC meets every Friday (typically). Contact the office if you have any questions regarding the ARC process or to be added to an agenda. 805/472-2233, ddesmond@oakshores.us or sdayton@oakshores.us.
FINANCE COMMITTEE
The Finance Committee assists the Board in the preparation of the pro forma budget each year, which projects the income and expenses for the upcoming year. The Finance Committee also assists the Board as needed with the review of the monthly financials, as needed, and the review of the Annual Financial Statements (Audit). The Committee typically meets monthly between June and September when preparing the Budget.
FIREWISE COMMITTEE
Oak Shores is proud to be recognized as a Fire Wise Community. Oak Shores is the first community in San Luis Obispo County to receive this designation.
