  • Derald Owens – President

  • Hugh Mosher – Vice President

  • Todd Fedoruk – Secretary/Treasurer

President’s Report

The community continues to look good overall. However, there are ongoing issues with overnight street parking violations and front yard weed maintenance.

The Association continues to seek volunteers to fill vacancies on the Board and on all standing committees.


Treasurer’s Report

  • Financial Status: Expenses remain within budget, and income is meeting forecasts.

  • Delinquencies: Two homeowner accounts remain a concern but are being managed.

  • Capital Reserve & Projects: Reserve funding levels, coupled with lower oil prices, may allow the Board to advance the road surface treatment project to summer 2026 (originally planned for 2027). Advancing this project will help prevent further road surface deterioration.

Approvals:

  • Minutes of the October 8, 2024 MeetingApproved

  • Financial ReportsApproved


Design Review Committee (DRC)

  • Lot 32: The homeowner’s request to install a net along the side of the home (to protect from golf ball damage) was provisionally approved in July, pending detailed design specifications and a project timeline. No further updates have been received.


Homeowner Input

  1. Landscape Funds Concern:
    A homeowner raised an allegation regarding the misuse of HOA funds for private landscape work. The Board categorically denied that any funds were used for individual homeowner projects. All HOA-funded landscape work is strictly limited to common areas.

  2. Parking and Property Upkeep:
    Concerns were raised regarding ongoing non-compliance with parking regulations and poor exterior maintenance by some residents.
    The Board acknowledged these challenges, noting:

    • The growing number of rental properties with limited owner oversight

    • Absentee owners with poor property management.

    • Increasing state-imposed restrictions on HOA enforcement

    • A shortage of committee volunteers

    The Board reaffirmed its commitment to enforcement efforts and encouraged all homeowners to assist by reporting violations to Property Manager Alexis Enos.


New Business

1. New Board Member
Homeowner Anne Keshishian volunteered to serve the remainder of the term vacated by Todd Berson. The motion to appoint her was unanimously approved. Her term will expire in January 2027.

2. 2026 Board Meeting Schedule
Tentative meeting dates are set for early May, October, and November 2026, pending room availability at the Oro Valley Library.

3. Naranja Wall Project
The 560-foot perimeter wall along Naranja Drive requires stucco repair and repainting.
Per HOA Resolution #1998-01 (Wall Policy), perimeter walls located on homeowners’ property lines are the sole responsibility of the homeowner. Because the Naranja wall faces a public street, any maintenance and color choices must maintain a consistent appearance along the full length of the wall. Homeowners along Naranja Drive will be responsible for associated costs, subject to Design Review Committee approval.
This item was tabled for further discussion.

4. 2026 Street Maintenance Project
The planned street surface treatment, originally scheduled for 2027, may be moved up to 2026 to minimize deterioration.

  • Key factors: Oil prices, total project costs, and available funds.

  • Next steps: The bidding process will begin in January 2026, with a go/no-go decision expected by March 2026.

5. 2026 Assessment (Dues)
A 5.7% annual increase ($20/year) was approved by the Board.

  • New Assessment: $370 per year ($92.50 per quarter)

  • Rationale: Inflationary costs and the need to strengthen Capital Reserve Fund contributions.
    This increase is within the Board’s authority and does not require membership approval.

6. 2026 Budget
The Draft 2026 Budget was presented and unanimously approved.

7. 2025 Tax Filing
A motion to retain Larry Recker, CPA for the 2025 tax filing was approved.

8. Annual Meeting
The 2026 Annual Meeting is tentatively scheduled for the third week of January 2026, pending room availability at the Oro Valley Library.


Adjournment

The meeting was adjourned at 7:30 PM.

Board Approves 5.7% Hike in Annual Dues for 2026

Summary
The Board of Directors at the November 4, 2025 meeting approved a 5.7% increase in the annual association membership assessment for 2026. While annual inflation is expected to be near 3%, additional funds are needed in our Capital Reserve.   The 2026 assessment is $370 dollars per lot, that’s a quarterly payment of $92.50.  This is an annual increase from the 2025 annual assessment by $20 per Lot.

Why is the Increase Necessary?
The increase is necessary to address inflationary increases in goods and services, as well as to provide an increased rate of funding to the Capital Reserve. If sufficient capital funds are available, we can capitalize on today’s lower oil process and perform road maintenance in the Summer of 2026, rather than in 2027. 

Where does the money go?
Our three greatest expenses are Management Fees (30%) plus Administrative costs (8%), Landscaping costs (29%), and Reserve Funding (27%) respectively.  Three-quarters of our annual dues are allocated to managing the business of the HOA and landscaping services for the common areas; the last quarter goes to the Reserve Fund.

Board Approves 6% Hike in 2025 Annual Dues/ Budget

Summary
The Board of Directors at the October 8th meeting approved a 6% increase in the annual association membership assessment for 2025. While annual inflation is expected to be near 3%, additional funds are needed in our Capital Reserve.   The 2025 assessment is $350 dollars per lot, that’s a quarterly payment of $87.50.  This is an increase from the 2024 annual assessment by $20 per Lot.

Why is the 6% Increase Necessary?
The increase is necessary to address inflationary increases in goods and services, as well as to provide an increased rate of funding to the Capital Reserve. Road maintenance is scheduled for 2027, and the schedule of required funds for this capital expense needs to stay ahead of the pace with inflation, to avoid a special assessment for road maintenance.

Where does the money go?
Our three greatest expenses are Management Fees (31%), Reserve Funding (26%), and the Landscaping costs (24%), respectively.  Three-quarters of our annual dues are allocated to managing the business of the HOA and landscaping services for the common areas; the last quarter goes to the Reserve Fund.

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.

Board Approves 5.8% Assessment Hike for 2024

Summary
The Board of Directors at the November 7th meeting approved a 5.8% increase in the annual association membership assessment for 2024.  The 2024 assessment is $330 dollars per household, that’s a quarterly payment of $82.50.  This is an increase from the 2023 assessment by $4.50/quarter. 

Why is the Increase Necessary?
The increase is necessary to address inflationary increases in goods and services, as well as to provide increased funding to the Capital Reserve Fund.

Where does the money go?
Our three greatest expenses are the Management Fee (32%), Reserve Funding (24%), and the Landscaping costs (22%), respectively.  Three-quarters of our annual dues are allocated to managing the business of the HOA and landscaping services for the common areas; the last quarter goes to the Reserve Fund.  Road maintenance is scheduled for 2027, and the schedule of required funds for this capital expense has not been keeping pace with inflation.

Board Approves 8.3% Assessment Hike

Summary

The approved 8.3% Increase equates to $2 Dollars a month for each Lot Owner. The Quarterly Assessment for 2023, will be $78 Dollars.

Why was the Increase Necessary?

Our 2022 operating expenses ending on September 30, 2022, have generally been within budget with the exception of Landscaping.  However, the loss of three common area trees, two to monsoon storms, and one that was causing root damage to a homeowner’s property, have exceeded our landscaping budget by $1,346. An additional October expense was to remove drought-killed vegetation in our common area adjacent to the golf course.  These expenditures will exceed the 2022 year end landscaping budget by approximately $3,300.

2023 Assessment Increase

Addressing these extra-ordinary landscaping expenses to as capital expenses reduced the cash balance of the capital reserve account. It was recommended that the 2023 assessment be increased to provide sufficient funds for capital funding, as well as inflationary impacts to operating expenses.  The recommendation to the Board was for an 8.3% increase. This increase is equal to the Estimated CPI for 2022; the maximum allowed by Section 6.03c of our CC&Rs, without requiring a special vote of the Association membership.  The Board approved this increase at the November 3rd meeting.
