Board of Director's Meeting Recap

The full Board of Directors, Baughn, Rehling, Tumbleston, Bussiere, and Martin, plus Alternate Director Lynn Helferich­­ were present at the Villa Monterey Unit 3 open meeting on Tuesday, April 11, 2023.

 

Homeowner Forum - The swimming pool is in need of draining and cleaning. The pool maintenance contractor will be engaged for discussion.

 

Minutes of the March 14 Board Meeting were approved.

 

Treasurer’s report - showed that our finances are solid. 

 

Property Maintenance – the first set of door hangers focusing on weeds and unpicked citrus has been created and distributed. Improved lighting at the corner of Highland Ave./76th Pl., citing a lamppost that was out, plus low illumination from others. 

 

Social Committee – the Social Committee is being reorganized. An early May meeting will be scheduled to explore options. The bank account has been closed, and the balance will be applied to the the 4th of July party. 

 

Neighborhood Watch – A webpage has been created and added to our website to contain latest information for the program.

Palm Tree Trimming - The process will now be a printed form with your payment dropped in the Ramada mailbox. Checks should be made out to Treetime Design, LLC. Operation dates for 2023 are June 19-23 for VM3. Checks should be made out to Treetime Design, LLC. More details will be available soon.

 

Old business – 

 

President John Baughn submitted our HOA’s Annual Report to the Arizona Corporation Commission, updating the Statutory Agent to John Baughn, and identifying the current Board of Directors and officers.

 

At no cost to the HOA, the ceiling fan blades in our Ramada have been removed, cleaned, and flipped to remove their sag. This resulted in savings of approximately $300.00 over the cost of replacing the blades with new blades.

 

New business –

 

The Board approved $200.00 for three new umbrellas for the pool area. The Board approved $750.00 for extra stucco work on the Ramada wall.

 

The issue of neighborhood lighting will be addressed in future meetings, considering that functional, ample lamppost lighting enhances street safety.

 

Research into VM3 governing documents for language relating to ownership, leasing, occupancy, and residency showed that our governing documents expressly prohibit leasing/rental of a Lot and residence, but does not address several non-leasing scenarios of concern. 

The discussion that followed revealed a consensus that involvement of the entire community would be necessary for any further exploration of the topic. How to do this was left for future discussion.
