Crystalbrook changes in 2026: New Board members

Two new board members — Elaine McDonald from Shallowbrook Lane and Phil Royce from New Plymouth Lane — have been elected to the Crystalbrook Board of Directors. McDonald will serve as secretary and Royce as treasurer. Their terms began following election on November 13. Their board bios and photos will be posted soon.

Rae Henock, Jim Gauronski and Susana Sharp will continue in their current offices — president, vice-president and member-at-large, respectively.

In November, the board also voted to change its meeting day to the third Wednesday of the month. This ensures that the board has timely budget reports from Community Association Parnters, our property management company.

There is no meeting in December: But mark your calendars — January’s new board meeting date is Wednesday, Jan. 21. Start time remains 5:30 p.m. Meetings will continue to be conducted via Zoom.

Welcome, GBR

Crystalbrook welcomes our new landscape company, GBR! The company, which also services Four Seasons, began in September. They will continue to be responsible for clearing all common areas, sidewalks and streets in Crystalbrook as well as certain homeowner services as well.

There is one change — our landscape day switches from Wednesday to Friday.

This is a good time to remind homeowners that you can opt out of certain landscape services like spraying and pesticide use, pruning and weed spraying. (Important note: If you opt out of any or all of these services, you are responsible for keeping your property up to snuff.)

To opt out — or to update an existing opt-out form on file — complete Crystalbrook’s Opt-Out form and send it to our property management company, Community Association Partners (CAP). You can find the form on our Key Documents page.
