Hiddenbrooke Maintenance District                                           City of Vallejo Logo

SUMMARY: The Hiddenbrooke Maintenance District (HMD) takes care of the landscape along Hiddenbrooke Parkway and the slopes around the Plaza, the waterfall at the entrance, the gazebo park area, the toddler play area, the benches near the walnut grove, the grass along Bennington Drive and Lansdowne, the monuments at the entrance to our communities, the utility corridor between Hiddenbrooke and Columbus Parkway, the open space and trails within Hiddenbrooke, the portion of Hiddenbrooke Parkway that is within Napa County, and a few pockets of plantings.  The HMD does not maintain landscaped areas within communities with a separate HOA. (such as The Village. Fairway Villas, Reflections or Summit) or the Streets or Light Poles. The landscape contracts and other work are supervised by the City of Vallejo Landscape Maintenance District Staff, part of the Public Works department.  The HMD does not maintain landscaped areas within communities with a separate HOA. (such as The Village. Fairway Villas, Reflections or Summit) or the Streets or Light Poles.

BUDGET: The HMD budget is $818,000 for fiscal 7/1/09 to 6/30/10, and includes $50,000 to be spent from the Developer Deposit Reserves for work on the hillsides near St. John's Mine Road. The net operating budget of $768,000 is funded by an assessment on each parcel in Hiddenbrooke except for the Hiddenbrooke Golf Club. The assessment for the 2009-2010 year was $600.06 per developed lot and appears on your real estate tax bill (undeveloped lots pay less and the Plaza has a slightly higher assessment). This assessment can be increased each year by the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). More information on the budget and financial reserves of the HMD can be found on page 26-27 of the 2009-2010 Engineers Report. The LMD staff work the HMD Advisory Committee to address landscape issues and priorities for renovation work. The Advisory Committee encourages all homeowners to read the annual Engineer Report and the HMD Advisory Committee's report to the community.

WELCOME CENTER is managed by volunteers from our community under the direction of the HPOA Board of Directors. Those volunteers work with All Phase Security to balance staffing and patrols and support the needs of our community. The Welcome Center is outfitted with digital camera systems which record vehicles entering and leaving Hiddenbrooke. It also has an Automatic Emergency Defibrillator (AED). After you call 911, you can call the Welcome Center at 558-9697 to have the officer on duty bring the AED to the site (home address, street, golf course in Hiddenbrooke). The officers are trained in CPR and AED operation and until Rescue arrives will be acting as good Samaritans (not trained EMTs or Paramedics).  The annual budget for the Welcome Center is $175,000 and is included in the HMD budget and assessment above.
