GARBAGE DAY

After attending the February HOA meeting there was discussion about the gas lamps out in the complex and talk about converting them to electric.

The president of our board Dolores Thompson stated that Larry is a contractor and does that type of work and maybe he would like to offer the home owners his services.  

Darren said that would be a great idea. Judy our treasure also agreed and handed me a list of all the gas lamps out on Laura Lane. I said that’s great but I asked if I may get a complete list of all the addresses in the complex because maybe someone that has a working lamp would like to convert their lamp as well.  I would like to mail the homeowners a flyer and not just slap one on their door. The board agreed.  I asked Kate the management rep if she would e-mail me over a list of names and addresses of our members.  Kate stated I can give you addresses but not names.  Well that was fine with me even though I disagreed because giving me the homeowners names is a matter of public record and that if I went to the County Assessors office I can get a complete list of names and addresses.

So I simply said OK.  Kate promised me she would e-mail me a list in the next day or two.  Well a week went by and I e-mail her for the list and she stated she needed board approval.  Ok what part in the HOA meeting did she not listen to?  The board said yes at the meeting. I replied to her reminding her that the board already agreed to give me the addresses.

Now this is getting ridicules, this is her reply “The Board has decided that they cannot indorse anyone as far as repair, etc to the gas lamps – they’ve been approached by other owners so you will have to get the addresses to go with the lot #’s from the Maricopa County Assessors office” what a load of garbage!

  1. The board now apparently recanted their approval for the addresses to which they have no authority to do. We are members; we have a right to all names and addresses.
  2. The board is “indorsing” repairs, read it in the January news letter under gas lamps. (if that’s not a contradiction in itself)
  3. Kate is blatantly refusing to e-mail me the addresses to which we have a right to have as a member of the association. Another great example: The Management Company works for us not that other way around.
  4. I e-mailed our president of the board and to this day no reply either.

They make up rules as they go, tell us one thing and say another, do as they see fit and act as if they own the association. We are all members of SIERRA RIDGE ASSOCIATION INC. we have voting power and voting rights to over turn any CC&R and or Bylaw.  It’s written in the CC&R’s black and white!  Please read it and understand them. We do not need to put up with this wrongful doing by any one or all board members or management company.

Yes, I am a contractor and I don’t care if other contractors want to offer the same type of services.  This post is merely a meaning in principle of what we have to deal with day in and day out as homeowners. We need to stand up and take out the trash, its garbage day!
