TV Stolen From Clubhouse
On Tues Nite someone stole the
Brand new TV That was purchased for the clubhouse !!!
Now a couple years ago after this problem, we started to lock front door of clubhouse when Office crew left for the day
This was a simple fix as all residents could enter clubhouse or work out room from rear door
THIS WOULD ONLY ALLOW RESIDENTS WITH KEY TO ENTER IN EVENING HOURS !
First off this was a great idea thrown to the wind !! Many enjoyed the extra secure feeling of using the workout room later in evening knowing not anyone could get in !
First solution should be to lock front door at 5pm
THERE IS NO ARGUMENT ANYONE CAN MAKE TO THIS SOLUTION
It will keep stragglers and non residents from using our clubhouse in late hours and provide extra security to those using facilities at nite.
Also knowing we have a top notch security team here, many still ask the question why are they only here for a short time at nite..They work 6 hours...so if they get here at 6pm they are gone at midnite...If 8pm they are gone at 2pm what about the late night problems after that!!
The solution is they come at 9pm and work till 3pm ...Gives a better scan of late night problems here
NOW FOR ALL THOSE THAT ARE LOOKING THE OTHER WAY AND PRETENDING WE HAVE NOT HAD ISSUES HERE THE LAST 6 MONTHS IS KIDDING THEMSELVES
THEFTS OF BIKES, THEFTS OF TV , DRUG AND GUN DEALERS,DRUNKS BREAKING AND ENTERING
Some ask are you badgering the board too much ??
NOOOOO These topics should have been brought up at meetings and discussed with residents
This Board is falling into the step of old board...SECRETS !!
Our Board must realize soon they are volunteers to help with a voice in the community...not act like everything here is a James Bond Secret kept from us
This also includes the final word on Janet Frintners lawsuit..Why so secretive...we ALL OWN HERE And are entitled to know what is going on with our investments at all times.
So I am not here to continually beat board up...for the 1ST 5 MONTHS it was all positive..
Then Summer Came and everything went down the tubes...REASON..Those board members that promised at election to walk grounds , have open door policy Etc Etc were all full of Bull S**T
If you want to be on Board act like you care...Many letters next week on the amount of patios that look like hell!! We have watched one board member walk past this messs every day with out stopping or caring....Another one of those full time residents on board that went into hiding over the summer.
Is someone on Board gonna step up and address these issues before the residents take things into their own hands??
I HAVE BEEN SWAMPED...YES SWAMPED WITH EMAILS OF THOSE LOOKING TO JOIN THE GROUP WANTING TO TAKE THESE ISSUES HIGHER
I SAY WE POLICE OUR OWN AND START GETTING SOME RESULTS..OTHERWISE THE DIVIDE HERE WILL CONTINUE
AND TO THOSE WHO SAY WE INSITE ?? I HAVE 80 POSITIVE EMAILS FOR WEBSITE FOR EVERY ONE THAT DOES NOT AGREE...ACTUALLY LAST 7 DAYS I HAD 63 PRO WEBSITE AND 3 NOT PRO WEBSITE ?? SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
AS STATED FROM DAY 1 ...8 YEARS AGO .. WE ARE HERE TO PROVIDE THE INSIDE SCOOP...POPULAR OR NOT.
..BUT FROM READERSHIP LAST 5 MONTHS I WOULD SAY VERRRRY POSITIVE

FREEWAY SHOOTINGS GETTING CLOSER TO HOME
(CNN)Another day, another shooting on a busy stretch of Interstate-10 in Arizona
And still no suspects to speak of.
That was the reality Thursday in Arizona, where the Department of Public Safety chief has called the spree of what's now 11 confirmed shootings in 12 days "job one" for his and partner agencies. Still, despite all their efforts to canvass the affected, roughly eight-block area affected, they've had no luck in ending
The latest shooting occurred on Thursday 9/10/2015 ..On the 51 & Shea Blvd
Incident #14: A driver reported an incident was near SR 51 and Shea Boulevard. The driver of a Honda Civic reported that her rear window was shattered after she heard a noise. An investigation into the incident has started but DPS is not confirming it is a part of the series of shootings along the I-10.
red are confirmed bullets and yellow are projectiles, and
#11-14 happened today !

The "Smooth" Transition Continues !
As The "SMOOTH TRANSITION" CONTINUES,
Many residents this holiday weekend held hostage by 12 hour frames of repairmen coming to fix cable problem here,
My wife was helping a lady here in building 5 and was told by DISH we would be there
on Saturday between 8am -1pm....
HE ARRIVED AT 7:30PM..
.On Sunday and Sunday morning the trucks filled the lot again with many waiting their turn to have tv
AND THE BOARD BROKE ITS OWN RULE OF NO VENDORS OR WORKERS HERE ON WEEKEND AND HOLIDAY..YES WE KNOW IT WAS NEEDED..BUT RULES ARE RULES ??
What happened to all the posted letters about this being a smooth transition??? You all know we were fed the kool aid again
The thing that has most residents upset is....FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS
Many residents asked at every meeting, over a 100 residents had consistently asked when cable contract is up
THE PROBLEM IS HOW COME NO RESEARCH WAS DONE ON CABLE COMPANIES TO THAT POINT WHEN WE KNEW OUR COMPANY WAS ENDING IN A YEAR..NOW THEY ENDED IN A SHORTER PERIOD.
.BUT NO BOARD MEMBER TOOK THE INITIATIVE TO DO THEIR HOMEWORK AND GET THE BALL ROLLING
MANY I HAVE SPOKE WITH HERE WANT COX.......WILL THIS EVER GET A VOTE ??
Maybe we start making sure Board members are educated..not just volunteers with friends voting
OUR NEW BOARD HAS SHOWN A VERY BIG LAPSE IN JUDGEMENT OVER THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS FROM THE CABLE DEBACLE TO THE ALLEGED HEROIN DEALING RESIDENTS WE WERE FORCED TO LIVE WITH EARLIER IN SUMMER
IF YOU RECALL THESE RENTERS WERE CHARGED ALLEGEDLY ON A LATER DATE IN A DRUG AND GUN RING, OF WHICH OPERATED OUT OF ANASAZI DURING THE SUMMER,
WE HAD UNDERCOVER OFFICERS WATCHING HERE FOR WEEKS, WHILE RESIDENTS LIVED IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS
The month before we had drunken residents break into another residents home while sleeping
NONE OF THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP AT MEETING YET WHY ??
COME ON BOARD YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO STEP UP...LETS START WITH A BIG PUSH ON SHORT TERM RENTERS
A LARGE GROUP OF RESIDENTS IS DRAWING UP A SOLUTION ON THIS ISSUE FOR YOU TO REVIEW..CURIOUS TO SEE IF INPUT FROM COMMUNITY WILL BE READ OR IMPLEMENTED
THIS WILL BE THE LAST POST ON CABLE DEBACLE..POINTS BEEN MADE..TIME TO LEARN FROM IT !

Happy Labor Day America !!
AS A Card Carrying Member of the Teamsters Union for over 18 years I wish all my labor brothers and Sisters a relaxing and well earned day of rest
Labor Day is a holiday in the United States that is dedicated to workers across the country. The intention of the holiday is to recognize the contributions that laborers make to the United States as a whole. The public holiday always falls on the first Monday in September.
The first federal observation of the holiday occurred in 1894 however the first Labor Day observed in a state was in Oregon in 1887.
Parades and festivals are held on Labor Day to give people the opportunity to relax and enjoy the day before returning to work. In many towns and cities, fireworks signal the end of festivals that are held in honor of the holiday.

Another Longtime Eatery Gone
To many Anasazi residents and also winter residents COCO'S was a great place to have a meal or also enjoy the Friday Night Socials they used to have on Fridays attended by many of our residents

More of the Smooth Transition
MY wife has been to 3 units this morning helping other elderly residents get signed up for their cable...
Where are the Board members here to help ??
Great Question..No Answers...
SMOOTH TRANSITION ????>
Where are the Board members here to help ??
Great Question..No Answers...
SMOOTH TRANSITION ????>
Can We Focus On the Important Issues First ?
I had a discussion with some residents the other evening, and a good question came up in regards to budget
1st Pool 3 has had no misters for the last 5 weeks, the hottest part of the summer, when asked why ? the explanation is there is a leak and it would cost $2000 to repair so we are searching for a different
solution!
Now if we are wasting hundreds of gallons of water on a regular basis, Would it not be worth the money to fix the problem correctly
Also we have pool guy here only 1-2 times a week, still have needles and dust in jacuzzi from storm 3 days ago?
Winter residents here , we have pool man every day ? Services should be equal for all HOA owners
Next we have over 12 sprinkler leaks on property that crew cannot keep up with, In previous years we brought in an outside person to get this problem squared up..agin water leaks cost very much..
Why are we piddling around with these jobs that are really not very expensive to complete and be done the right way from the start.
Why this Board has been in Hiatus ALL SUMMER LONG!!
Then I come home and for the second time this week, I receive an email from a company thinking I am the Anasazi HOA Board
With the info HOA has inquired about with social committee here..It will be printed below..And to the Board I replied for You..We are not interested ..lol
Now For starters I was in favor of a social committee here till it became verrry one sided, I still hope it can be salvaged. But it has 1 full time resident and all the rest out of country owners or short term winter residents .And Ray the Board member , Yet a very nice man ..only stays here 90 days and is in control of it with other winter friends.
So Many Ask the question
Where were the social activities for July 4th or the social fun here for Labor Day ??
NONE !!!
So again we are to believe that it should be for winter residents time here only,
I think they need to realize activities did not come in unit when bought ..lol
Many here disgruntled also and worries our board will use HOA money to pay for these events
Or turn our community into a wine fest spring break for seniors who spend winters here
Here is email reply that our board is seeking yet another event for Winter residents
MAYBE BOARD SHOULD HAVE SPENT MORE TIME IN PREPARATION THAN YOU DID WITH CABLE PROBLEMS OR LEAKS DESCRIBED ABOVE OR SHORT TERM RENTALS AFTER THE CRIMINALS ENTERPRISE WE LIVED WITH HERE THIS SUMMER

Aug 31 (2 days ago)
to me
Based on an inquiry from the HOA, I would like to share information about visiting the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM), rated #1 attraction in Phoenix by TripAdvisor. Not only does MIM provide a one-of-a-kind guest experience to be enjoyed by guests of all ages, but there are over 200 concerts scheduled annually and there are monthly signature events focused on global cultures. Open daily from 9 – 5 daily (except Thanksgiving Day), it is easy to plan a visit or tour.
For groups of 10 or more, a Museum Guide can be arranged. Guests who visit spend an average 3 hours at MIM visiting the Geographic Galleries, the Artist Gallery and more. I welcome the opportunity to provide more details or visit www.mim.org.
Looking forward to hearing from you,

Boycotting Board Meeting !1
After discussion with Family trust yet another day this week,
I have decided to boycott this Board meeting for 2 reasons..
The first is No one here at this time is really the head of the board..
And I personally only to this point trust 2 Board Members ..
The other 5 are useless, Thats a story for another day!
This meeting will be the same as always the 7 ladies and 2 men who attend and cheer and the couple people that will continue to moan about what this WEBSITE SAYS...To no avail ,
They have NO Control ...just as the small handful of "Winter Residents cry over this website ..
The crowd will be the same that drinks the Kool Aid this board is trying to serve..
They will follow what is told as in all years before.And not see any logic to what has happened.
No leaders Just Followers...
We all know that every story Board has released this week to be wrong on every occasion..
The second reason is Family trust has advised trust atty to look into matters here, So Trust asked me to skip this meeting while due diligence is done!
Why ruin a night for MORE LIES from the board here for this September meeting who have no respect from the community.....
OVER 700 READERS THE LAST 3 DAYS......That Says It All

SMOOTH TRANSITION?? | ||
Severe Thunder Storm Last Night
UPDATE THIS MORNING AT 7AM...Many many patios flooded here and already many asking office to pay for an act of mother nature....More foolishness here
We have warned on 3 occasions this year about patios being able to drain !! Now the flooding and no one knows why??....Maybe a Board member to walk grounds like I did this morning ??
NOT A CHANCE !
Around 8:00pm last nite Anasazi was pelted with very heavy rain and thunder..The temp dropped about 18 degrees in an hour to a brisk 82 degree's Streets around Anasazi flooded for a while and some patios had water. Many trees down,
Airport closed for over 2 hours.... another Anasazi resident pelted with hail on her drive into Anasazi..I-10 Closed completely in this yet another monster monsoon storm to hit us this season
If you are a Winter resident or away owner, You may want to have someone check patio's to make sure drain holes are open, A couple residents last nite had some water seep in patio doors..Just a heads up to avoid future problems during this unpredictable monsoon season
The wild lighting show and cool temps made it a great evening to watch the storm, In 11 years here we never had water or even a raindrop on patio..last night we had enough to bring out mop!
Here are a couple pics around the area
Too Many Emails To Answer ??
OVER 250 READERS YESTERDAY
YOU ALL NEED TO PLAN ON ATTENDING BOARD MEETING THIS THURSDAY,8/3
Enough complaining here ...MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD AT MEETING THIS WEEK...
I am urging all full time residents to take an hour out of your schedule and attend this meeting to show your dismay with recent and future choices and how a vote should be done
The Board should have had a meeting in the evening to reach more residents and explain the issue rather than leave us guessing ??
The emails are flooding us here with discontent over this latest mistake by Board,On Cable Tv agreement with out a community vote
Here is a 3 interesting letters from a resident

Obviously the TV situation is a real mess now, especially with the conflict between the HOA Board claiming a contract with Dish will be non-exclusive, yet Dish supposedly will lock people in for 3 years. What other choices do we have for TV service?
What is the real story?
More importantly, the internet connections were also supplied through Media West – what happens with those? Will there also be an interruption for the internet. Dish of course does not provide internet itself, it bundles with a communication service provider.
Any idea what and how the internet will be a part of this primarily TV issue?

Until this time Media West was responsible for the distribution of TV and Internet signals, the main equipment located at Building 9 and the per building distribution equipment located behind the elevator machine room of each building. Media West bundled TV (Dish) and Internet (CenturyLink). Under the new scenario and In case of service problems, who is the focal point of contact, or will there be one for TV and one for Internet?
It is very disheartening when the Board members have little to no understanding of the main and peripheral issues associated with providing and maintaining the quality of TV and Internet services.

to me
In the past there was a mention that COX was interest to become a service provider. Why not now? COX has everything, TV, Internet and Phone, all coming through on cable/fiber – one company for all services if desired. And they do provide high speed internet, REAL HIGH SPEED!
So why do we not hear about any consideration to let COX onto the premises?

Misconceptions About New Cable
Before I go into this post, We all must remember that Wayne and Sharon had this mess dumped on their shoulders by our Board of Directors.Many have called office angry and Wayne and Sharon should not have to feel the brunt of a BIG Mistake by our BOARD and not informing us sooner than when it was posted here.
There were no notes posted or phone calls made till we published here.
Wayne and Sharon do a good job here,and as in past years have had a non supportive board towards community relations,
Anytime I call office Sharon is as kind as can be and Wayne always has a few moments to spare..So put the blame where it belongs ! The Board!
If you like email our Board at email below..See what answers you get and how soon.

Now the Real Story of how things have changed here
1st They say this is only temporary and we can back out after 30 days according to office and this is
not a long term contract!
FALSE: When we sign up for DISH next week it is a 1 YEAR CONTRACT or there is a $240 early cancellation fee....THIS IS NOT TEMPORARY!
2nd depending on credit rating the deposit with dish will be between $50 & $350
along with a $50 ACTIVATION FEE along with $50 equipment fee
BOARD did not disclose this either..many here live on Social Security and these inflamed prices are not fair to all residents
3rd ..We paid media west $131.00 on Thursday when they debted our account, We have been told if a refund is in order we have to apply
WHY: How do we get our money back from a bankrupt company and will we be charged 2 times this month?? From Dish and New Media west
We will be here all week watching as the Board tries to dig out of this hole they have dug themselves in. and keep you updated on all info as it is acquired
ALL WE ASK IS TO BE KEPT UP ON THINGS AT ANASAZI AND BE INCLUDED
THIS BLOG SHOULD HAVE NOT BEEN THE FIRST TO POST THIS INFO ABOUT CABLE
Where is our communication committee ?? Instead of taking blurry pictures of koi ponds every month for the newsletter, you should have sent emails to residents, But this is another story, I have volunteered to help with large email set up here instead we have folks on committee that don't know how, You don't have to like me, but my knowledge would be helpful and Its Free..I thought committees here was to help all...Not just put friends of Board on them for their support ??
The committee selections here were not thought out well many say..We have winters residents on landscape committee ..Not here cant see whats happening all year ? Same story on all committees..Board picked their friends and not saying we dont have a few good ones, the majority are not here or never seen !
LIKE THIS SITE OR NOT..YOU KNOW YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE INSIDE TRACK HERE AT ANASAZI
There is a BIG PUSH going on here at Anasazi and many are on board to put a stop to this before it gets any further out of hand
.The hidden agendas here at Anasazi...with the high HOA fee we pay here, we should be part of all MAJOR DECISIONS MADE !
