Annual Meeting Update

Dear Utopia Members,

Every January, we hold our annual members meeting to update you on the association, and for you to vote for the upcoming year’s board of directors.

Due to COVID-19 public health advisories, we unfortunately will not be holding an in person meeting once again his year. Instead, we will be sending you all the pertinent association information by US mail, as well as, giving you the opportunity to vote for the 2022 board slate by email.

So, please be on the lookout during the latter part of January for a packet in the US mail, as well, as an email inviting you to vote for the board.

If you are interested in working with the board or would like to join the board in our work to keep Utopia safe, please contact our membership liaison using the Contact Page.

As always, we appreciate your steadfast membership and support of our neighborhood patrols.

Yours,
Utopia Homeowners Security Association Board

Car Theft on Bargello Ave (Coral Gables)

A car was stolen from a home on nearby Bargello Ave yesterday evening in Coral Gables (west of Ventura Ave). According to the owner, the officer who responded noted that Coral Gables police are aware of groups from Broward County targeting areas of Coral Gables and routinely stealing cars.

While the presence of Utopia Patrol in our neighborhood discourages those groups from targeting our homes, our officers have asked that the Utopia Board remind you to lock your car and take precautions.

Save the Date: Annual General Members Meeting 1/30/22

Dear Utopia Members,

Every January, we hold our Annual General Members Meeting to update you on the association, and for you to ratify the incoming board of directors. We currently have plans for the meeting to be held Sunday, January 30th from 4:00 – 6:00 in the park at La Playa and Ventura. In past years, we have gathered socially for a “Meet & Greet” and to conduct the business of our HOSA.

We want to ensure everyone’s health and safety, so please monitor your email for updates. If we cancel the in-person meeting due to omicron concerns, you will still be able to ratify the board and get directors’ reports through a combination of email and US mail.

As we end the year, the board would like to wish all members the happiest of holidays as we look forward to next year to further strengthen and grow our organization. We would like to thank our longtime members, as well as, new members because without your continued support there would be no association.

If you are interested in working with or joining the board please contact our membership liaison at: [email protected]

With Appreciation,
Utopia Homeowners Security Association

Message from our Patrol – Utopia Association Bulk Pickup Areas

The City of Miami has contacted our Utopia Patrol regarding individuals who are using the association’s bulk pickup areas to dump hazardous materials: construction material, buckets filled with paint, car batteries, chemicals.

The environmental inspector has contacted several General Contractors who are working in the area to ensure they properly dispose materials.

If you notice any illegal dumping activity you can report it to the environmental office by contacting Kurt Gilliland (p): 305-960-2816, [email protected].
