Several important issues were discussed including a summary of the past year, priorities for the coming year, and an introduction of the new and continuing board members. Many challenges were discussed regarding the management of the HOA and the need for additional volunteers. There was overwhelming support from our community and we had ten residents step forward to volunteer their time time and effort in the coming year. These volunteers will be assisting with a variety of projects to include organizing events, delivering newsletters and information to our homeowners, and revising our Covenants, Conditions, & Restrictions (CC&R’s). A special thanks to all that volunteered. Approximately 60 residents were in attendance. Thanks to everyone that attended!

• Villa Monterey IV hosted a community meeting on Wednesday March 30th at 6:00 PM at the clubhouse. It was a “meet and greet” opportunity to speak with and hear from non-partisan Mayoral candidate Bob Littlefield as well as Councilwoman Kathy Littlefield and Councilman Guy Phillips. Approximately 100 local Villa Monterey residents were in attendance. Candidates discussed the challenges that our local neighborhoods face regarding over-development of the Old Town and Entertainment District areas and the impact this over-development will have on the Villa Monterey communities. All three of these public servants have been very supportive of Villa Monterey over the years including the Historic District designation as well as the issues with Chaparral Road. Bob Littlefield is running for Mayor of Scottsdale. If you are not familiar with Bob or his longtime support of our Villa Monterey communities please check out his website at www.boblittlefield.com to learn more.

• For those homeowners that have not fully paid the special assessment from 2013/2014, you will see two special assessment charges on your annual dues statement. The first one titled “Special Assessment – Community Clubhouse Renovation” will be the amount owed from 2013/2014. The second one titled “Capital Improvement Assessment” is the recently approved assessment for 2016/2017. Annual dues are payable no later than June 30th. Any homeowner that is able to pay the balance of their assessments in full is encouraged to do so. This would allow the Association to get a head start on several important capital improvement projects. If you have any questions about your statement please call 480.990.2528 (lv message) or email at [email protected]. A Board member will get back to you as soon as possible.
