SHOA Annual Meeting – Saturday, October 17

Please save the date for the Sleepy Hollow Owners Association Annual Meeting of Members on Saturday, October 17, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the Firehouse on Oakvale Road.

No election will be held this year because no nomination forms were received. Board positions with expiring terms will be filled by acclamation with volunteers currently serving as board members.

Proxy forms and additional meeting information will be distributed before the meeting. If you are unable to attend, please consider assigning your proxy to a neighbor who will be present. Proxies help the Association meet the quorum required to conduct business.

 New Financial Management Partner Roll-out

Our new accounting system is now live. Thank you for your patience as we transition our financial records to our new management partner, Clark Simson Miller.

At this time, homeowner account balances (particularly any overdue balances) cannot yet be fully updated because we are awaiting the records transfer from the previous bookkeeper. Over the coming months, we will continue transferring financial data and association documents into the new system.

In January 2027, homeowners will receive an annual statement from Clark Simson Miller. This statement will also serve as your annual assessment invoice.

 Volunteer Opportunities

Would you like to help out but can’t commit to a full term as board member? Please reach out if you are interested in one time volunteer opportunities! Upcoming needs include:

• Installing a new door on the storage shed at the Firehouse
• Stuffing envelopes for the annual mailing
• Road and trail inspections
• Picking up new picnic tables for the lake area

 From Our Event Committee

Are you a creative person that loves to be with other fun loving creative people? Or maybe you would just like to get involved in our beautiful neighborhood’s fun activities? We are looking for new members for our event committee!!!!! We would love to have some new faces and ideas to help us make our events even more fun! Please contact Debbie Davis by text or call at 916-952-6037.

 Annual Mailing

As soon as SHOA receives updated records from the prior bookkeeper, we will send the annual disclosures and financial reports as required for the Association.

Most SHOA members have elected to receive these documents by email. Electronic delivery saves the Association approximately $5 per household mailing and reduces paper use.

If you currently receive annual notices by U.S. mail but would be willing to receive them electronically, please email support@shoanews.org to update your delivery preference. Many of the annual documents are exactly the same from year to year, and electronic delivery helps reduce Association expenses.

 Prevent SHOA Emails going to Spam

If SHOA messages are being filtered into your spam or junk folder, please add the following email addresses to your contacts or safe-sender list:

• Support@shoanews.org
• Secretary@shoanews.org

Thank you for helping us keep Sleepy Hollow informed, connected, and well maintained.

SHOA Alert: Community Safety Reminder re: Speeding Vehicles

The SHOA Board has received reports of one or more resident vehicles traveling through the neighborhood at extremely high speeds, potentially exceeding 60 miles per hour. Reports also describe behavior that may include veering toward pedestrians, accelerating when asked to slow down, and making rude or aggressive gestures.

The Board takes these reports seriously and is concerned for the safety of everyone in our community. We are gathering documentation and reviewing the actions available to the Association. In the meantime, we want all residents, families, guests, walkers, cyclists, and pet owners to be aware and use extra caution while traveling through the neighborhood.

If You Witness Dangerous Driving

• Call 911 immediately if a driver is speeding toward people, threatening someone, attempting to strike or intimidate a pedestrian, or otherwise creating an immediate danger.
• For recurring or non-emergency incidents, please contact the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency line at (530) 621-6600. When possible, provide the date, time, exact location, vehicle description, license plate number, direction of travel, and any available video.
• Do not confront, follow, block, or attempt to detain the driver.

Information That Helps

If you observe dangerous or aggressive driving, please document what you can safely and accurately:

• Date, time, and exact street or common-area location
• Vehicle make, model, color, and license plate number, if known
• Specific observed conduct, such as estimated speed, swerving, unsafe passing, near-misses, yelling, gestures, or threats
• Names and contact information for firsthand witnesses
• Photos, video, dashcam footage, or security-camera footage, preserved in their original form when possible
• Whether law enforcement was contacted and the applicable report or incident number

DO NOT place yourself at risk to collect information.

You may also share documentation with the Board at support@shoanews.org so it can be retained with the Association’s records. Please note that reports and documentation may be shared with legal counsel or law enforcement as appropriate.

Thank you for helping keep our neighborhood safe.

Community Reminders

Fire Season: Weed Control Matters

Fire season is well underway, and we all play an important role in helping protect our neighborhood. Please take time to trim weeds and remove dead brush on your property, particularly along roadways and trail easements. Thank you for doing your part to help keep Sleepy Hollow safe.

Please Slow Down

We’ve received several reports of vehicles traveling above the posted speed limit, including one incident that resulted in property damage. The speed limit throughout Sleepy Hollow is 25 mph, and we kindly ask everyone to slow down and stay alert.

Our roads are shared by neighbors walking, biking, jogging, and riding horses throughout the day. Driving a little more slowly helps ensure everyone can enjoy the community safely.

Thank you for helping make Sleepy Hollow the friendly, safe, and welcoming community we all appreciate. We look forward to seeing many of you at the Ice Cream Social!

SHOA Spring News & April Board Meeting Notice 4/20/26

Dear SHOA Members,

Spring Cleaning

Spring is here, and we appreciate your efforts to diligently maintain your property here in Sleepy Hollow. A special thank you goes to those promptly managing weed abatement and clearing at their road and trail easements.

For members with property bordering the trail system, as you complete your initial clearing, please promptly report any obstructions, maintenance needs, or safety concerns to the Board. While our general lake and trail maintenance is typically scheduled for the fall, reporting issues now allows us to address them early.

This is also an excellent time to inspect your fencing and other property elements that may require repair or upkeep, especially in the wake of the recent storm. Your efforts in maintaining the beauty and integrity of our community are appreicated.

Annual Assessments Reminder

Please be reminded that annual assessments were due by March 15. If you are uncertain about your payment status or require payment information, please email us at support@shoanews.org.

SHOA ALERT: Storm Update 4/11/26 – Please Use Caution

Dear Residents,

A strong storm cell passed through our area this evening, leaving a significant amount of debris on the roadways. 

Several trees were down around the neighborhood and quick-thinking board members have already cleared most of them from the roads. Some trees and branches remain down on private property, so please take a moment to check around your home. At one point, the fire department responded to a call involving a sparking transformer, but all is clear now. 

Please continue to use extra caution while moving around the neighborhood tonight. Roadways throughout Shingle Springs are also reported to have debris and blockages.

We’ll assess the full condition of our roads and trails once there’s daylight. In the meantime, stay alert for fallen branches and other potential hazards.

Sincerely,
SHOA Board (also shared via member email list 4/11/26)
