WASTE OF MONEY

Time to get rid of Jomar. No HOA needed. Think about it, just a waste of money for hundreds of families.

These gas lamps are obsolete, and paying the price of gas to light them is ridiculous. Getting them to be switched over to solar would be nice. Once I get to switch my home to solar which every home in Arizona should be then I'll be happy.  

   
   
 
   
  I agree, at a minimum we need to get rid of the management company.  We pay thousands of dollars to Jomar so they can pay a few bills, look after a few landscapers and handle misc odds and ends.  I really do not see the reason we need any management company to do anything.  Their is nothing here that the board can not handled themselves.  I truly believe that if your going to take on a roll as a board member you should also be responsible to maintain the same responsibilities the management company does for Sierra Ridge.

At the last meeting Kate from Jomar was asked, where do the monies form violations and letter processing fees go?
Kate replied the violation money goes to the association and 1/2 of the notice letters ($5.00 now $10.00) goes to the management company.

At an average of 90 violations for gas lamps and 25 violation letters for weeds that's 115 letters a month @ $5.00 each = $575.00 in Jomar's pocket.  Now that's only the violations that I know of from the last two HOA meetings.  So if you think about it, we are not the only property Jomar manages, they are in 30 states, that's thousands of dollars in revenue for just letter processing fees.  Not to mention their contract fee!  I am working on getting a copy of Jomar's contract to post as well.  The home owners have a right to know.

Its all about big business and making money.  It takes advantage of hard working families.
