November Newsletter

I know, it’s a bit late, but I finally opened my mail .  The newsletter was sent out in November but it covers information that’s pertinent to the entire new year.

2012 Approved Budget:

The monthly fee has once again been raised for next year.  The new amount is $219.00 per month.  Coupons will be sent to owners who are not on auto pay only.  If you wish to sign up for auto pay for 2012, please contact jessica at Red Mountain Management (480) 641-6300 for the proper form.

Owners using online bill pay must have the property number 733 plus their lot number on the check.  Be sure to adjust your online bill pay to the 2012 fee.

The budget contains what you might think is a large amount for reserves.  The property needs a lot of wood replacement, the streets need seal coat, and the community will need to be painted soon.  The goal is to get as much done without a special assessment as possible.  The property is also in need of irrigation updates as the ongoing repair costs are out of control.

Termites:  Owners are responsible for treatment at their unit for preentative termite control and also treatment of active termites.  If common property is damaged due to lack of any owner carrying out thei responsibilities pursuant to the CCRs, they will be billed for all or part of the replacement costs.

Water Shut Off Valves:  All units have two shut off valves.  One is at the rear of the unit where the line enters the plane of the building and the other one can be found outside the fence straight from the building valve to the street area.  A plumber would have the appropriate tool to shut this valve down.  Locate this at your unit or notify management or dotties@rmmaz.com and we will help find it for you.

Rear Yard Maintenance:  Fruit must be removed from citrus trees in the spring to prevent roof rats coming to the property.  Trees and shrubs must be trimmed so they do not touch the building or go over the roof line.  We would not like to ahve debris damage the new roofs.  Also clean off any patio covers that have tree debris as this makes them deteriorate also.

Pet Droppings/Cleanup/Leash Law:  ALL dog owners must pick up pet dropping immediately upon deposit and all dogs must be on a leash.  Both items are City of Scottsdale Code and Association Rules.  Owners can be fined by either entity for not adhering to these rules.

E-mail Addresses:  Please send your current e-mail address to Dotties@rmmaz.com so we can more effectively communicate with you as necessary.  If you change e-mail providers in the future, please send us the new address.

Board meetings are held every third Wednesday of the month at 6:30 pm unless otherwise posted at the clubhouse.
