SUMMER 2022 PARLOR SALE

Dear Owners and Friends,

The Board of Directors is pleased and excited to announce an opportunity for you, your family, or friends to buy a parlor from the inventory of Association–owned shares. These shares have been returned to the Suites through foreclosure. And rather than adopt them, the Board has decided to sell them immediately for the price of $100 per share. In doing so, the Board hopes to add committed owners to our Association and to avoid the loss of assessment revenue that this large inventory creates.

If you decide to buy one of the shares being offered, you must also pay the 2022 assessment of $1,453.00 as well as the escrow costs of $800. You can start to use the new share while the escrow is in progress, once you pay the annual assessment. The share year will run from August 1, 2022, to September 30, 2023, allowing seven days of use.

Then, after you pay the 2023 assessment which is due on January 1, 2023, you will have seven more days, to be used based on the regular year for that share.

The parlor sale begins on July 1, 2022 and will end on July 31, 2022.

We will accept email requests for the sale during normal reservation times until 12 noon PST on Sunday, July 31.  All names received will then be pooled, and a drawing will be held on Monday, August 1.

PLEASE NOTE: Payment in full must be received by August 30, 2022.

Thank you in advance for your interest and participation in the Fall Parlor Sale.

Best Regards,

Cynthia Reid

Dear San Francisco Suites Owners,

April means baseball and tax time. First, here is a gentle reminder that the second installment of the property taxes is due on April 11. If you have not received your tax bill because you are a new owner or moved and did not contact the Tax Board with your new address, I can help you pay your property taxes online:

  • Sftreasurer.org

  • Property Tax payment

  • 0256T – 139P or 039P

  • Open the bill and pay it with a credit card

Secondly, the SF Treasurer and Tax Collector will be holding an auction for owners who have not paid the past taxes and are now in default. SF Suites have received back shares through the foreclosure process that also have defaulted taxes. The Suites are not able to sell these shares which is the reason we have the Adopt A Share program to collect the assessments.

The tax default auction will be held online at https://sanfrancisco.mytaxsale.com

April 22-24

You must register online and send in a deposit of $5,000 + $35.00 processing fee by April 14
If the shares are not sold, they will be reoffered at a second auction:

April adopt-a-share

2022 ADOPT-A-SHARE PROGRAM

Greetings, Everyone!

This year we have three Parlor shares for adoption at $1483.00 per share. The cost includes the 2022 assessment of $1,453.00 plus the property tax of $30.00.

Please be advised that the Association has imposed a restriction on adopted shares that prohibits them from being rented to third parties, and they cannot be exchanged or sold through a Time Share company. They may be used only by the adopter, by his or her immediate family, and by those persons designated by owners as being entitled to Bonus Time. On Thursday, April 21, between 6 and 7 p.m. PST, we will notify the first three applicants whose names were drawn.

The San Francisco Suites City Share Association’s governing documents, including all Rules & Regulations, do apply to the adopted shares.

General Manager News Feb. 2022

February 22,2022

Dear San Francisco Suites Owners,

The air in San Francisco is crisp and fragrant as cherry blossoms drift and swirl in the breeze reminding us that Spring is on the way.

Mark your calendars and make your reservations at the Suites so you can attend the following festive spring events:

The Year of the Tiger was celebrated at the Chinese New Year Parade on February 19th in Chinatown.

  • Salesforce Tower lit up the sky with an image of a roaming red tiger

March 12 St Patrick’s Day Parade begins at 2nd and Market and ends at the Civic Center

  • Start the day at the Irish Bank for corn beef and cabbage and a brew but do not forget to bring a green mask. This parade draws 100,000 people from all over the world to celebrate,

San Francisco style.

April 9 Cherry Blossom Festival in Japantown

  • Sushi at Akiko’s Sushi Bar and Restaurant

You might like to plan to take a ferry or drive over the Golden Gate Bridge to Tiburon for lunch at the new Michael Mina’s Bungalow Kitchen on the waterfront.

  • Indulge and order the Lobster and Truffle Pot Pie for $130.00

The City and County of San Francisco has followed the State order to withdraw the mask mandate for indoor businesses. This means that if you are vaccinated, you do not have to wear a mask while at the Suites and may enjoy the wine and cheese and crackers down in the lobby. Some restaurants, businesses and public transportation may still require the mask mandate so keep one handy when you are out and about in the City.

Please be reminded that all staff at the Suites have been vaccinated, however they may still choose to continue to wear masks.

February 24 at 1:30pm the VOTA Auction will be held across the street from City Hall where 2 Parlors and 2 Masters will be auctioned for the cost of the delinquent assessment plus foreclosure costs.

Please ask the Front Desk for details or send me an email at creidgm@sfsuitescsa.com

April 11, the 2nd installment for the property tax is due. If you did not receive a tax bill, please contact me and I can help you go online to pay your tax.

Also, in April the SF City Tax Collector will hold an online auction for shares that have delinquent tax bills. The Suites will have 6 shares that will be auctioned. You will receive a notice as soon as I am notified.

We all look forward to seeing your smiling faces and welcoming you back to your

home away from home.” Please find the BOD January 15th minutes on the link below.

Happy Spring!

BOD Emergency Meeting Jan. 4, 2022

DRAFT

San Francisco Suites

Board of Directors’ Emergency Meeting

January 4, 2022

  1. Call to Order: President Bellah called the emergency meeting to order at 11:00 AM. The meeting was held via Zoom.

II. Roll Call:
Board Directors present were
Geoffrey Bellah, President
Jo Ann Trembath, Vice-President
Jeff Reichel, Treasurer

Also present was Cynthia Reid, General Manager

With a quorum of three out of five Board Directors present, Bellah proceeded with the meeting.

III. Emergency Business:

  1. President Bellah explained the necessity to immediately repeal the election rules which were approved by the Association and adopted by the Board in 2020, following the passage of Senate Bill 323, in order to conduct the 2022 Board election. These rules, which allowed the Association to conduct its Board election in 2020, were subsequently replaced by the approval and adoption of restated bylaws in 2021, which included new election rules. In order to avoid conflicts and redundancies between the 2020 election rules and the restated bylaws’ election rules, the former must be repealed by a vote of the Board.

  2. Treasurer Reichel moved to repeal the election rules adopted in 2020 following passage of SB 323. Vice-President Trembath seconded, and after a brief discussion the motion passed unanimously.

IV. Adjournment:

President Bellah moved that the meeting be adjourned and the Board voted unanimously to do so at 11:25 AM.

Geoffrey Bellah
Board President
