There will be a Shadow Brook Board Meeting on Tuesday, April 19, 2022 at 7:00 p.m.  As with all our meetings during the pandemic, it will be a ‘Zoom” meeting online.

Board Meetings are meetings that are held about 10 times a year.  While Homeowners Meetings, like the one held in November, are geared towards providing the Homeowners with important information, the Board Meetings are primarily for the Board to discuss activities of the various components of Shadow Brook and vote on certain expenditures and such.  However, at Board Meetings, as with all non-special meetings, Homeowners are certainly welcome to attend.

We are very excited to announce that our 2022 Sharks Cabana Swim Team Online Registration has officially started!

Shadow Brook is thrilled to welcome back our cabana swim team this summer for a “back to normal” season. As reigning 2019 Champs, we are excited to be back in the water.

The Shadow Brook Shark season will run from Monday, April 19th to Sunday, July 10th. We have five dual meets with a culmination championship meet on Saturday, July 9th, and our awards dinner celebration on July 10th.

Cabana is a fun, competitive environment and a great opportunity to get to know your neighbors. In addition, to swim meets and practices, we also have many activities out of the water as well, such as Golfland, a San Jose Giants game, Raging Waters, and more!

We will continue accepting registration through April. The registration link, medical waivers, and volunteer information for our 2022 cabana season is available at our dedicated Shadow Brook Sharks Swim Team website.

Swim team registration fees will be collected online via the Condo Control website. Please follow the instructions on How to Pay Shark Swim Team Registration Fees Online.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at shadowbrooksharks@nullgmail.com.

2022 Shadow Brook Sharks Practice Schedule.

You can find the job description and job application forms under the Pool Tab. Please send completed applications and any questions to shadowbrooklifeguards@nullgmail.com. We are accepting applications until March 31, 2022, and will be scheduling interviews in April.

On Monday, January 17th, the pool will be closed for a planned repair and replastering project. The repairs are expected to take six weeks, should all go well and the weather cooperates. The worst-case expectation is the pool would not reopen until April.

The repairs will require drainage of the pool, chipping off the old plaster, tile, and coping, and then installation of new plaster, tile, and coping. During the repair process please do not enter the pool premises for your safety.

During the holiday break, the new Shadow Brook Phone App and Website went live (Condo Control). Welcome letters with enrollment instructions were sent out to all members and associates via email and USPS mail.

If for some reason you didn’t receive the “Welcome Letter” please send an email to splasher@nullshadowbrook.org with the following information, and a new Welcome letter will be sent to you promptly.

• Full Member Name
• Member Home Address
• email address for communications
• Optional – Contact phone number

Please note, the ”Welcome Letter” is needed to gain access to the Condo Control website and phone application. You can make Shadow Brook’s 2022 homeowner dues payment online via the web portal, but the phone application currently does not support online payments. Here is a short brief explaining How to Make SB Member Dues Payment Online.

Some features of the Condo Control web portal and app are:

• An online calendar is available via the web and on your phone making it easy to see what is happening in Shadow Brook
• Easy access to Shadow Brook documentation including Splashers, Board Minutes, Bylaws, Rules and Regulations, and more.
• On-line payments of Membership Fees, Swim Lessons fees, and more via credit card or ACH direct from your bank account
• Makes it easy for your ACC to document rule violations Easily and quickly send out announcements to homeowners, renters, and associates
• Enables Shadow Brook Board Members, Committee leaders, and employees to maintain a central document library that is easily accessible by future Boards
• And much more as you will learn over the coming months

As we transition to the full capability of Condo Control over the coming months, we will see cost savings to the HOA. For example, we are hopeful that many will opt-in to having the Splasher newsletter delivered online. If half our members opt-in to online delivery, we will reduce the $6,000 annual cost of producing & delivering the Splasher by half.

PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT the associate dues. This notice is for the Shadow Brook Homeowner member yearly dues only.

The Shadow Brook Board at the November 2021 General Meeting approved a $675 annual HOA member dues assessment for 2022, due and payable as of January 1, 2022. Payments received online or with USPS postmarks after February 15, 2022, will incur a $50 late fee.

We are encouraging everyone to subscribe to Condo Control and pay online – via Bank ACH or credit card – to ease the task of collecting and processing 318 individual checks. Here is a short brief explaining How to Make SB Member Due Payment Online.

Online payments will incur fees as follows:

• Bank ACH Payment ($2)
• Credit Card Payment (approx. 3%)

Payments via check should be mailed to

• Shadow Brook Swim Club, PO Box 20271, San Jose, CA 95160
• In order to confirm receipt, you must note the property address in the check Memo Field.
• Your canceled check serves as your receipt.

Please advise of any contact or rental status updates via email to president@nullshadowbrook.org.

Interest on all sums including delinquent assessments, late charges, and lien fees will accrue at an annual percentage rate of 12%, not compounding, commencing after February 15th. Any sums remaining after a partial payment are still subject to collection. This includes payment of the base assessment where any or all of the late charge lien fees and interest are still uncollected. The payment postmark will serve as the sole indication of a delinquent payment. Any Liens will be filed consistent with CC&R’s, Section 9B. Lien filing fees will be the higher of $175.00 or the actual expenses for the filing and added to the delinquent amount.
