President’s Report
The community’s appearance looks fine. Some parking violations occasionally arise, that the Board will address.
Treasurer’s Report
All homeowners were sent a copy of the approved 2024 Budget. As stated in the budget summary, the 5.8% increase was necessary to address rising costs for fixed and operational expenses.
Our 2023 expenses were below budget, resulting in a modest net income. A portion of that income will be deposited into the Reserve Capital Account. As in previous years, our three top expenses remain:
- Management Fees: 33%
- Capital Reserve Fund: 23%
- Landscaping: 26%
Homeowner Input
- Interest was expressed in having some sort of street party or a simple community ‘meet and greet’ gathering. The location of which would be at the intersection of Sand Pebble and Sand Pointe Drives, or at the southern end of Desert Flower Drive. Both locations have a cul-de-sac that might accommodate this gathering.
The Board considers this to be an excellent idea and welcomes any homeowner who will volunteer to chair and organize a committee to propose of plan to the Board for this gathering.
- Little Free Library – Interest was expressed to provide a ‘Little Free Library’ and a community bulletin board at one or both existing mailbox stations.
The Board considers this idea has merit and again welcomes any homeowner who will volunteer to chair and organize a committee to propose a project plan and cost to the Board for review. This matter has been tabled until that time.
- Garage Sales – A suggestion was made to eliminate the community-sponsored Spring and Fall garage sales, due to low participation by the community. Canceling these scheduled sales in favor of ad-hoc sales would reduce unwanted and unnecessary vehicular traffic.
The Board agrees sponsoring and advertising a garage sale online with little or no community participation is of little value. The community-sponsored garage sales have been suspended in past years for this very reason.
In the meantime, the Board will email the membership to determine whether the May 4th, Spring Garage Sale should be held or cancelled.
Editor’s Note: Our resolution “2007-01 Policy and Restrictions on Garage Sales” sought to avoid the possibility of ‘monthly’ ad-hoc garage sales, yet still allow garage sales to occur as needed. Refer to this resolution for further explanation.
- Stop Signs
- A homeowner has requested the stop sign located at Sand Pebble and Desert Flower Drive be replaced. The homeowner claims the sign is faded.
The Board will look into the request.
-
- A concern was raised about golf carts racing across the Desert Flower Drive intersection without regard for vehicular traffic. The small golf course ‘Stop’ sign painted on a rock is insufficient to alert golfers to stop at this intersection. A request was raised to post a proper ‘Stop’ sign on the East and West sides of this intersection.

The Board has requested our Cadden HOA Manager to contact the Town-owned golf course management and request that two ‘Stop’ signs be posted at the golf path and Desert Flower Drive intersection.
