Board approves 2.7% increase in dues for 2011Presented with a 2011 budget and facing the prospect of having to use reserve fundsto cover costs, the board approved an increase of $1.00 a month. The new total perquarter will be $112.00 from $109.00 starting January 1, 2011.

The Board has kept the same budget the last two years, but with increased costs,painting and granite replenishment the board felt they had no choice. If you have anyquestions please call or email Vision or attend the next HOA board meeting.

In May, 2010, the HOA Board of Directors approved the WallCommittee’s recommendations to address ongoing common wallrepairs. This new policy will be posted on the Vision Managementwebsite. Multiple notifications will be sent out prior to work, andagain if work is perceived to be the fault of the homeowner. Thecomplete policy as well as sample notification letters are online onVision’s website.

Homeowners can also call the Town of Gilbert for a FREE wateraudit. They will help adjust your sprinklers, saving you money aswell as water (and our common walls). Homeowners are expresslyforbidden from doing work or hiring a repairman to do work oncommon property walls that belong to the HOA. If you check yourwall and find damage please contact Vision Management.

Our CC&Rs clearly state that if homeowners are found to benegligent in this matter, they will be assessed for the cost of re-pair. The CC&Rs that address this issue can be found on the backpage of your last newsletter from April or on our Facebook page.

Neighbor disputes:Some Reasons

BEAUTY ANDTHE BULK TRASHYou may have noticed that residents arestill putting out bulk trash the wrongweek and leaving it sitting on the curb.This is bad for two reasons: It looks badfor the community and it gets residentsfined, which is never a welcome thing.

Please help us by reminding neighborsand by checking the cut-out section ofthis newsletter which lists bulk trashdates for your convenience!

Reconstruction and repainting ofour common walls continues...We hope that this vital project willlast us another decade but it didn’tthe last time we had it done. We areusing better paint and hoping moreconscientious work will create alonger lasting paint and moreunified color.

At the August 2010 Board of Directors meeting, another $20,000 was unani-

mously approved towards the continuing repair and repainting of our com-

mon walls. Progress can be seen up Columbus from Warner and along Warner

East to Greenfield until the entire community is complete.

Homeowners should know that crushed granite/ground cover replenishment

has been suspended until our reserves can be built back up. The Board has made

these improvements without raising HOA dues this past year. Walls damaged in

the future by water due to careless homeowners or broken landscaping will be

charged to that homeowner according to our by-laws. More on page 3 >>
