Dear Townewest Homeowners,
I would like to provide an update regarding an important discussion that took place during last night’s (September 17, 2026) Townewest Homeowners Association Board meeting concerning the Gulfstream Park renovation and the Side Letter Agreement with MUD #2.
Because there have been questions and varying understandings regarding the park and the agreement, I believe it is important that our homeowners have access to the same information discussed by the Board.
First, We Did Not Sell the Park
I want to be clear about this point: Townewest did not sell any part of Gulfstream Park.
What was granted was an easement, and the rights and responsibilities associated with that easement are defined by the governing documents and agreements between the parties.
The Side Letter Agreement with MUD #2 was signed in February 2025. While I was the Board President who signed the agreement at that time, I believe the best way for our community to understand its terms is not through individual interpretations, but by reading the document itself and having the appropriate legal counsel explain its provisions when questions arise.
Our Responsibility as Directors
As members of the Townewest Board of Directors, our responsibility is to understand the documents that govern the Association, protect the Association’s rights, and make decisions that safeguard the community’s financial interests.
That means we must take the time to review the agreements, understand the obligations they establish, and seek professional advice when there is uncertainty.
The Side Letter Agreement is an important document affecting the Gulfstream Park project. It should therefore be treated as such, with its provisions understood in their proper legal context.
Reading the Agreement and Getting Legal Clarification
During last night’s meeting, the relevant portions of the Side Letter Agreement were read and discussed.
Attorney Tomas Romo of Sears, Bennett & Gerdes was present to provide legal guidance and clarification regarding the agreement and the respective rights and responsibilities of the parties.
His participation was particularly helpful in addressing questions that have arisen regarding the interpretation and implementation of the agreement.
Moving Forward
My goal is to ensure that homeowners have accurate information and that the Board moves forward based on the governing documents, rather than speculation or conflicting interpretations.
Let’s read the documents. Let’s ask questions. Let’s obtain clarification when needed. And let’s move forward together while protecting the rights and financial interests of the Townewest community.
I appreciate everyone who attended last night’s meeting and for participating in the discussion. These conversations are important, and promote community engagement.
Sincerely,
Robert S. Fuentes
President, Townewest Homeowners Association
Estimados propietarios de Townewest,
Me gustaría proporcionar una actualización con respecto a una discusión importante que tuvo lugar durante la reunión de anoche (17 de septiembre de 2026) de la Junta de la Asociación de Propietarios de Townewest sobre la renovación de Gulfstream Park y el Acuerdo de Carta Complementaria con MUD #2.
Debido a que ha habido preguntas y diferentes interpretaciones con respecto al parque y al acuerdo, creo que es importante que nuestros propietarios tengan acceso a la misma información discutida por la Junta.
Primero, No Vendimos el Parque
Quiero dejar claro este punto: Townewest no vendió ninguna parte de Gulfstream Park.
Lo que se otorgó fue un usufructo, y los derechos y responsabilidades asociados con dicho usufructo están definidos por los documentos rectores y los acuerdos entre las partes.
El Acuerdo de Carta Complementaria con MUD #2 se firmó en febrero de 2025. Si bien yo era el Presidente de la Junta que firmó el acuerdo en ese momento, creo que la mejor manera para que nuestra comunidad comprenda sus términos no es mediante interpretaciones individuales, sino leyendo el documento mismo y haciendo que el asesor legal correspondiente explique sus disposiciones cuando surjan preguntas.
Nuestra Responsabilidad como Directores
Como miembros de la Junta Directiva de Townewest, nuestra responsabilidad es comprender los documentos que rigen a la Asociación, proteger los derechos de la Asociación y tomar decisiones que salvaguarden los intereses financieros de la comunidad.
Eso significa que debemos tomarnos el tiempo para revisar los acuerdos, comprender las obligaciones que establecen y buscar asesoramiento profesional cuando exista incertidumbre.
El Acuerdo de Carta Complementaria es un documento importante que afecta el proyecto de Gulfstream Park. Por lo tanto, debe tratarse como tal, con sus disposiciones comprendidas dentro de su contexto legal adecuado.
Leer el Acuerdo y Obtener Aclaraciones Legales
Durante la reunión de anoche, se leyeron y discutieron las partes pertinentes del Acuerdo de Carta Complementaria.
El abogado Tomas Romo de Sears, Bennett & Gerdes estuvo presente para brindar orientación y aclaraciones legales con respecto al acuerdo y a los respectivos derechos y responsabilidades de las partes.
Su participación fue particularmente útil para abordar las preguntas que han surgido con respecto a la interpretación y aplicación del acuerdo.
De Cara al Futuro
Mi objetivo es asegurar que los propietarios tengan información precisa y que la Junta avance basándose en los documentos rectores, en lugar de especulaciones o interpretaciones contradictorias.
Leamos los documentos. Hagamos preguntas. Obtengamos aclaraciones cuando sea necesario. Y avancemos juntos mientras protegemos los derechos y los intereses financieros de la comunidad de Townewest.
Agradezco a todos los que asistieron a la reunión de anoche y participaron en la discusión. Estas conversaciones son importantes y promueven la participación de la comunidad.
Atentamente,
Robert S. Fuentes
Presidente, Asociación de Propietarios de Townewest
Townewest Night Out (TWNO) is an annual community event designed to strengthen relationships between neighbors and local law enforcement/public-safety agencies and encourage a safer, more connected neighborhood.
It involves games for kids, music, police/fire department demonstrations, community-resource booths, and opportunities to meet officers, firefighters, and neighbors.
The event began in 1984 and is organized nationally by the National Association of Town Watch. Its basic idea is: get neighbors outside, meet one another, connect with public safety, and build community.

Neighborhood Safety Reminder
As we continue to receive warnings about recurring vehicle break-ins and other property-related incidents in the area, we encourage all Townewest residents to remain vigilant and take a few simple precautions.
Please remember to:
• Lock your vehicle doors every time, even when parked in your driveway.
• Remove valuables and other items from view—including bags, electronics, wallets, tools, and anything that might attract attention.
• Keep your garage doors closed when not in use.
• Be aware of unusual activity around your home, vehicles, or neighbors’ properties.
• Report suspicious activity to law enforcement rather than confronting anyone yourself.
Stay alert. Lock up. Look out for your neighbors. Together, we can help protect our community.
