Your assessment includes reserve funding of $35,829.42 per month, which is less than the amount recommended in the most recent reserve study projected at 78.59% funded starting January 1, 2026. By taking this course of action, it may be necessary to postpone certain projects, phase out certain projects over time, or pass a special assessment to raise the necessary funds. A copy of the full reserve study plan is available upon request.
If components with a zero-remaining useful life range are noted on the Executive Summary, they will continue to be funded per the 2026 budget and may be considered for refurbishing and/or replacement during the 2026 fiscal year.

ASSESSMENTS AND FORECLOSURE Assessments become delinquent 15 days after they are due, unless the governing documents provide for a longer time. The failure to pay association assessments may result in the loss of an owner's property through foreclosure. Foreclosure may occur either as a result of a court action, known as judicial foreclosure or without court action, often referred to as nonjudicial foreclosure. For liens recorded on and after January 1, 2006, an association may not use judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure to enforce that lien if the amount of the delinquent assessments or dues, exclusive of any accelerated
rded on and after January 1, 2006, an association may not use judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure to enforce that lien if the amount of the delinquent assessments or dues, exclusive of any accelerated assessments, late charges, fees, attorney's fees, interest, and costs of collection, is less than one thousand eight hundred dollars ($1,800). For delinquent assessments or dues in excess of one thousand eight hundred dollars ($1,800) or more than 12 months delinquent, an association may use judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5705 of the Civil Code. When using judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure, the association records a lien on the owner's property. The owner's property may be sold to satisfy the lien if the amounts secured by the lien are not paid. (Sections 5600, 5650 and 5705 of the Civil Code) In a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure, the association may recover assessments, reasonable costs of collection, reasonable attorney's fees, late charges, and interest. The association may not use nonjudicial foreclosure to collect fines or penalties, except for costs to repair common areas damaged by a member or a member's guests, if the governing documents provide for this. (Sections 5605 and 5650 of the Civil Code) The association must comply with the requirements of Section 5650 of the Civil Code when collecting delinquent assessments. If the association fails to follow these requirements, it may not record a lien on the owner's property until it has satisfied those requirements. Any additional costs that result from satisfying the requirements are the responsibility of the association. (Section 5650 of the Civil Code) At least 30 days prior to recording a lien on an owner's separate interest, the association
from satisfying the requirements are the responsibility of the association. (Section 5650 of the Civil Code) At least 30 days prior to recording a lien on an owner's separate interest, the association must provide the owner of record with certain documents by certified mail, including a description of its collection and lien enforcement procedures and the method of calculating the amount. It must also provide an itemized statement of the charges owed by the owner. An owner has a right to review the association's records to verify the debt.
(Section 5650 of the Civil Code) If a lien is recorded against an owner's property in error, the person who recorded the lien is required to record a lien release within 21 days, and to provide an owner certain documents in this regard. (Section 5650 of the Civil Code) The collection practices of the association may be governed by state and federal laws regarding fair debt collection. Penalties can be imposed for debt collection practices that violate these laws.
PAYMENTS When an owner makes a payment, he or she may request a receipt, and the association is required to provide it. On the receipt, the association must indicate the date of payment and the person who received it. The association must inform owners of a mailing address for overnight payments. (Section 5650 of the Civil Code).
An owner may, but is not obligated to, pay under protest any disputed charge or sum levied by the association, including, but not limited to, an assessment, fine, penalty, late fee, collection cost, or monetary penalty imposed as a disciplinary measure, and by so doing, specifically reserve the right to contest the disputed charge or sum in court or otherwise.
An owner may dispute an assessment debt by submitting a written request for dispute
easure, and by so doing, specifically reserve the right to contest the disputed charge or sum in court or otherwise.
An owner may dispute an assessment debt by submitting a written request for dispute resolution to the association as set forth in Article 2, commencing with Section 5900, of the Civil Code. In addition, an association may not initiate a foreclosure without participating in alternative dispute resolution with a neutral third party as set forth in Article 3, commencing with Section 5925 of the Civil Code, if so requested by the owner.
Binding arbitration shall not be available if the association intends to initiate a judicial foreclosure.
An owner is not liable for charges, interest, and costs of collection, if it is established that the assessment was paid properly on time. (Section 5650 of the Civil Code) MEETINGS AND PAYMENT PLANS An owner of a separate interest that is not a timeshare may request the association to consider a payment plan to satisfy a delinquent assessment. The association must inform owners of the standards for payment plans, if any exist. (Section 5650 of the Civil Code) The board of directors must meet with an owner who makes a proper written request for a meeting to discuss a payment plan when the owner has received a notice of a delinquent assessment. These payment plans must conform with the payment plan standards of the association, if they exist. (Section 5650 of the Civil Code) (c) A member of an association may provide written notice by facsimile transmission or United States mail to the association of a secondary address. If a secondary address is provided, the association shall send any and all correspondence and legal notices required pursuant to this article both the primary and secondary address. (Section 4040(b) of the
secondary address is provided, the association shall send any and all correspondence and legal notices required pursuant to this article both the primary and secondary address.

(1) The regular assessment for the 2026 fiscal year per ownership interest is $375 per month.
Note: If assessments vary by the size or type of ownership interest, the assessment applicable to this ownership interest may be found on page of the attached report.
(2) Additional regular or special assessments that have already been scheduled to be imposed or charged, regardless of the purpose, if they have been approved by the association's Board of Directors (the "Board") and/or members: Date assessment will be due: N.A.
Amount per ownership interest per month or year Purpose of the assessment: (If assessments are variable, see note immediately below): Total: Note: If assessments vary by the size or type of ownership interest, the assessment applicable to this
year Purpose of the assessment: (If assessments are variable, see note immediately below): Total: Note: If assessments vary by the size or type of ownership interest, the assessment applicable to this ownership interest may be found on page of the attached report.
(3) Based upon the most recent reserve study, dated 11/6/25, and other information available to the Board of Directors, will currently projected reserve account balances be sufficient at the end of each year to meet the association's obligation for repair and/or replacement of major components during the next 30 years?
Yes X No (4) If the answer to #3 is "no," what additional assessments or other contributions to reserves would be necessary to ensure that sufficient reserve funds will be available each year during the next 30 years that have not been approved by the Board or the members?
Approximate date assessment will be due: N.A.
Amount per ownership interest per month or year: Total: Page 1 of 2 Montecido at Portola Hills Association Assessment and Reserve Funding Disclosure Summary For the fiscal year ending 12/31/26 ("Disclosure Summary") (5) All major components are included in the reserve study and are included in its calculations.
However, the following major assets are excluded from the reserve study calculations for the following reasons: Major asset: Decks Pool Deck, Pavers Slopes Reason this major asset was not included: Indeterminate life and cost Repair as needed Indeterminate life and cost (6) Based on the method of calculation in paragraph (4) of subdivision (b) of Section 5570, the estimated amount required in the reserve fund at the end of the current fiscal year is $4,556,481, based in whole or in part on the last reserve study or update prepared by Advanced Reserve
5570, the estimated amount required in the reserve fund at the end of the current fiscal year is $4,556,481, based in whole or in part on the last reserve study or update prepared by Advanced Reserve Solutions, Inc. as of 1/1/26. The projected reserve fund cash balance at the end of the current fiscal year is $3,581,041, resulting in reserves being 78.59% funded at this date. The current deficiency in the reserve fund represents $3,251 per ownership interest.
(7) Based on the method of calculation in paragraph (4) of subdivision (b) of Section 5570 of the Civil Code, a reserve funding plan has been developed – see the attached projections. The assumed long-term before-tax interest rate earned on reserve funds is 3.5% per year and the assumed longterm inflation rate applied to major component repair and replacement costs is 3% per year. Full reserve study available upon request.
NOTES: (A) The financial representations set forth in this summary are based on the best estimates of the preparer and the Board at that time. The estimates are subject to change. (B) For the purposes of understanding this Disclosure Summary: (1) "Estimated remaining useful life" means the time reasonably calculated to remain before a major component will require replacement. (2) "Major component" has the meaning used in Section 5550. Components with an estimated remaining useful life of more than 30 years may be included in the study as a capital asset or disregarded from the reserve calculation, so long as the decision is revealed in the reserve study report and reported in the Assessment and Reserve Funding Disclosure Summary. (3) The form set out in subdivision (a) shall accompany each annual budget report or
sion is revealed in the reserve study report and reported in the Assessment and Reserve Funding Disclosure Summary. (3) The form set out in subdivision (a) shall accompany each annual budget report or summary thereof that is delivered pursuant to Section 5300. The form may be supplemented or modified to clarify the information delivered, so long as the minimum information set out in subdivision (a) is provided. (4) For the purpose of the report and summary, the amount of reserves needed to be accumulated for a component at a given time shall be computed as the current cost of replacement or repair multiplied by the number of years the component has been in service divided by the useful life of the component. This shall not be construed to require the Board to fund reserves in accordance with this calculation. (5) Based on reserve studies or the occurrence of one or more unanticipated events, the Board could increase regular assessments and/or levy special assessments, consistent with the provisions of the CC&Rs and applicable law, to fund additional reserves as it deems necessary. For example, the information contained in this Disclosure Summary includes (i) estimates of replacement value and life expectancies of the components and (ii) assumptions regarding future events. Estimates are projections of a future event based on information currently available and are not necessarily indicative of the actual future outcome. The longer the time period between the estimate and the estimated event, the more likely the possibility of error and/or discrepancy. For example, some assumptions inevitably will not materialize and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur subsequent to the preparation of this Disclosure
ibility of error and/or discrepancy. For example, some assumptions inevitably will not materialize and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur subsequent to the preparation of this Disclosure Summary. Therefore, the actual replacement cost and remaining life may vary from this report and summary and the variation may be significant.

association's policies of insurance provides only certain information, as required by subdivision (9) of Section 5300 (a) of the Civil Code and should not be considered a substitute for the completed policy terms and conditions contained in the actual policies of insurance. Any association member may, upon request and provision of reasonable notice, review the association's insurance policies and, upon request and payment of reasonable duplication charges, obtain copies of those policies. Although the association maintains the policies of insurance specified in this summary, the association's policies of insurance may not cover your property, including personal property or, real property improvements to or around your dwelling, or personal injuries or other losses that occur within or around your dwelling. Even if a loss is covered, you may nevertheless be responsible for paying all or a portion of any deductible that applies. Association members should consult with their individual insurance broker or agent for appropriate additional coverage.
Individual Liability Policies and Loss Assessment Coverage: It is very important that you explore your own risks with a knowledgeable insurance agent, and purchase coverage to protect you from any liability from an accident occurring in your own unit, the common area, and/or any exclusive use common area (such as patios, garages, carports, balconies), and to protect you from any liability or insurance gaps in coverage between the association's coverage and your own. It is also strongly recommended that you inquire about Loss Assessment Coverage. An endorsement for loss assessment provides protection to individual unit owners for
sociation's coverage and your own. It is also strongly recommended that you inquire about Loss Assessment Coverage. An endorsement for loss assessment provides protection to individual unit owners for extraordinary special assessments, such as excess liability over the association's insurance proceeds or an extraordinary expense incurred by the association, allocated to the owners, through a special assessment (such as a special assessment to pay for rebuilding costs which exceed insurance proceeds from an earthquake or fire loss). Please contact your personal insurance agent for further details.

E. ARCHITECTURAL & LANDSCAPE STANDARDS 1.
Introduction Living in a planned community such as Montecido offers many privileges and also comes with certain restrictions. Montecido has been developed for the mutual benefit of all members. In order to preserve the value, desirability, attractiveness and architectural integrity of Montecido, the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) authorize the formation of the Architectural Committee.
Montecido homeowners are not permitted to make any changes or improvements to the exterior or structural elements of their home, including exterior paint, without the prior approval of the
Committee.
Montecido homeowners are not permitted to make any changes or improvements to the exterior or structural elements of their home, including exterior paint, without the prior approval of the Architectural Committee. Changes to the interior of the home, which are not visible from the outside, typically do not require Architectural Committee approval unless they would affect structural integrity or mechanical systems.
Please take the time to read this information and the CC&Rs. Note that although these Standards support the CC&Rs, they do not cover the entirety of the document. The CC&Rs should be read carefully.

Prior to commencement of work to which these Standards apply, you must first file an application with the Architectural Committee. Failure to obtain the approval of the Architectural Committee may constitute a violation of the CC&Rs and shall require modification or removal of unauthorized improvements at your expense. In addition, the City or other governmental agencies may require a building permit prior to the commencement of any work. The Architectural Committee does not assume any responsibility for your failure to obtain such permits. Also, obtaining such permits does not waive the obligation to obtain Architectural Committee approval. If you have any doubt as to whether Committee approval is required for a particular work item, you should err on the side of submitting an application.
The following are the Architectural/Landscape Standards. Required forms should be obtained from the Property Manager. All Montecido residents are subject to the Architectural Standards, 2.
