Was a good board meeting last night, Many important things underway here at Anasazi
Wayne could not emphasize enough how important it will be for the community to be patient with upcoming asphalt project for ALL parking lots here. This inconvenience will be well worth it in the end as this will really give Anasazi even more curb appeal and value. Please if you have a car left here during winter..Make arrangements to have it moved or it will be towed at your risk!!
I was personally pleased with the Boards decision to add 7 speed bumps to the community during the asphalt repair.This is something the old board neglected for too long even after admitting it was a big problem here
Thank you to the Board members for your vote of confidence in this matter that was important to me.
Also the immediate response after I addressed board members and Wayne 2 weeks ago about this issue..Thank you also to Paul for taking the time to walk the entire property and designate the speed zones or Runways as he called them. lol
Also discussed were pavers for remaining buildings that do not have and Board member Ray had a great point that those building unit owners need to be educated on the pros of having this done. It is a win win for all with the Association absorbing half the cost
Also talked about new social activities committee forming and the asking of folks of who may want to be a part of
Also about 80% done with all roofs in community done...great progress here
Board explained any resident needing the additional strobe light in their unit for fire safety with hearing issues will have the cost reverted back to them the owner..This is a cost of $2500- $3500 per unit
Some of the things of minor concern were that we were over budget on many areas here and think that Bids may lower our yearly expenditure along with keeping in the budget.The reason there is a budget is to not over spend..I think further exploration into changing the process here for vendors and the start of a bid process here in the future.
Must say our Board member Russ Harris showed he is the last slug needing removal here,many glad his term is up this year, and it was the talk of a group of residents last nite after meeting. He argued with own board members about spending here and also was very animated about voting against Speed Bumps here
Russ also was questionable about us heating pools and was actually addressed by board member Paul finally explaining that this was budgeted last year and if Russ was at annual meeting he would have known, Paul then offered to talk with him privately if he would like........... If your a Board member ? maybe you should have inquired what you missed at biggest meeting of year!!
Paul had broken down the monthly of heating pools cost at many previous meetings and put it in language every one understood and voted for..You missed the bus on that meeting also
Now for starters last week Russ tried to race and cut off folks at gate waiting and was scolded by my wife and another resident, Maybe this is why he VOTED NO to speed bumps and all other members voted yes.
Also was questioning financials yet he had to step down as treasurer here as the company he worked for allegedly would not let him do a presentation as treasurer with approval of his company. He has been a non active member of the board for the last 3 years and Thursdays Board meeting showed his lack of understanding for the community...But his end is near
Tip to Marta,Your a nice lady, But The statement that Brian Mcbride is a big part of your committee should be refrained and you should think about getting actual residents on committee not those that do not ever step foot on property??and has not lived here for over 2 years His name has no weight here any longer so using it as such is a bad start ..And yes I would volunteer for your committee and also social events committee..Look to hearing from you ?..
I have more insight into things at Anasazi than most and contact with many residents daily ..Who better to be on communications ?? Just a Thought ...Also it would work well with www.anasazidiscussionboard.com website which has Boards and Wayne's approval...Maybe start using that website also to coordinate communication here at Anasazi...I will make you an administrator to the site if you like
But all in all things going well in the community and many projects underway.This Board meeting did show that this board here in the beginning is trying to work with the residents hand in hand which is a very positive move here and long overdue..............But headed in the right direction...with a bit more resident input and cooperation we can continue the stride forward
