From the Desk of the Executive Director

Happy Friday!!

As the Finance Committee, Board of Directors and Management begin to work on the 2024 budget process, I would like to review the services provided/paid through the assessments. The monthly obligation of $135 is broken out to $108 for operational expenses and $27 as the reserve allocation.

Our community is very beautiful throughout the Midwest seasons and all the common area landscaping/maintenance/snow removal is a significant annual expense from the operational allocation. Maintenance and daily operations for all the amenities, such as the fitness centers, pools, spas, lake, woodshop and lodges demand appropriate staffing levels and funds to address the daily needs of all these facilities. Property insurance is needed for all the common facilities in addition to liability coverage to protect the exposures of the not-for-profit corporation (Association).

While other subdivisions in Huntley receive waste removal through the Village, this community receives ‘top of drive’ waste removal services from Waste Management. A couple other community wide operational expenses/services include driveway sealing and mailbox replacement.

The Association’s reserve fund policy states that the community reserve fund will be established to support the reserve needs and shall not fall below 50% at the end of any given year. As the auditor has commented several time after preparing the annual financial audit, “the Association is in excellent financial position and has been well managed by current and past leaders of the community”. 

Be well,

Deanna Loughran

Contractors After Storm Damage

The recent severe storms have brought a lot of contractors to the community looking for storm damaged roofs, siding and more. Please be aware that the Association does not call or send anyone out to inspect roofs or siding, unless there is known damage from a storm, such as from a tornado or high winds. Be aware that contractors may call you or come door to door soliciting business. While we cannot stop contractors from soliciting, all solicitors must have a permit from the Village of Huntley.

Neighbors’ Unkept Lawn – The Compliance Process



The grounds, amenities, and properties here at Sun City Huntley are known for their beauty. Occasionally there is a property where the lawn care is being neglected. There may be many reasons for this including health, family emergencies, vacancies, extended travel, etc. Though it would be nice to have this cared for immediately upon discovery, there are legal processes that must be followed by the Association.



The Compliance Department is out in the community every day. With 5,481 homes, there may be a home with an “unkept” lawn that the staff may not be aware of. Should that happen, we encourage residents to complete a “Talk to Staff” form.

Once the complaint has been verified, Violation Process begins:

• First violation letter – mailed to homeowner/occupant of the residence, identifying the violation and asking for the homeowner to correct this violation by the compliance date listed on the letter. The timeframe for this varies on the severity of the issue, and ability to complete work in a timely fashion.
• Staff will visit the home/location on the said compliance date to verify home has been brought into compliance with the guidelines.
•  If the violation is still present, and home has not complied, a Second Notice Violation Letter is mailed out with additional compliance date and verbiage that legally allows Sun City Huntley Association to enter the property and care for the lawn should the homeowner not comply by the compliance date noted in the second letter.
• Fees that are incurred by the services rendered are billed back to the property assessments of the non-compliant home.

Your patience is appreciated during this process. Thank You!
