Patricia Island Estates, Phase 10, has successfully amended their Restrictive Covenants to prohibit short term leasing. The amendment now provides the ability to lease a property for no less than 12 months. The intent of the amendment discourages homeowners of Phase 10 to use their homes for Airbnb, Vrbo, or any other short-term rental service. The recent "Things to Do Survey", that was sent out to the residents, had a question regarding having a similar covenant amendment for their phase. Of the 56 respondents, 73% responded yes to the question. The board will be pursuing this action and it will be included on the ballot in September, 2025.

Our thanks go to Lori Krieckhaus for the time she served on the Board of Directors before her resignation at the end of February. After reviewing responses of those that were interested in the open position, the BOD has appointed Sherri Irwin. Her term will expire in September, 2026. Welcome to the Board!

We would like to thank and commend prior board members, Dennis Fenlon (two years) and Greg Martin (one year), for their service. They dedicated countless hours to our community and approached their service with a sense of what they felt was right.

We are pleased to announce the addition of Lori Krieckhaus and Brandi Palmer to the PIENA Board of Directors.
