2026 Board Meeting Videos & Minutes
Question - Did the 2025 Board Meet Transparency Requirements of the Open Meeting Statute and Beyond?
Don't take our word for it... Check out the records on TownSq, listen to the meeting recordings, and read the minutes. Don't listen to what they say they did; review their actions. We are providing you with hints on what to look for and where to find it.
The problem is waste, a lack of attention to details and transparency, but not illegal activities. We are guiding you on what to look for... The rest is up to you.
Don't sit on the sidelines and not do your homework.
Don't vote without knowledge of who you're voting for.
If you do, expect to pay special assessments. You have been advised... You have been warned.
2025 Estimated Shortfall to Reserves Budget is:
($533,595) likely worse (estimated only due to not having an actual interest earned on investments for 2025).
Reserve funds decreased by $320,795. Forecasted interest income $85.000. Budgeted reserve contribution $127,800. Adding all three gives us a total shortfall of $533,595. However, the landscaping is great!
2026 Board is Planning on Spending another $320,000 at the April 16th Meeting & Much More
By Saddlebrook Blvd
By Eagle Heights
Something Went Wrong - Someone Didn't Do His Homework
At a price tag of $20,000, without a plan, and with no member input on the plan.
Sorry... You can't do this in detention ponds.
Relocation of the 2023 Board Monument
Their legacy... Branded as the 2023 Board Monument... Waste $$$$$
Moving to a new location near you... Wasting more $$$$$
Management Company & Board Performance
Management Company & Board Performance
None of our meetings are noticed on our TownSq Events Calendar.
When set up correctly, the system sends out notifications of meetings to all members using the system. Why is it not being used?
No signs on Eagle Crest Ranch Blvd, no automatic notifications. No member participation.
However, they send notifications for every other insignificant announcement they wish to receive maximum attention for.
Example of a Transparent Board - 2022
All board and committee meetings were announced. Still available on TownSq.io
The 2026 board finds keeping homeowners informed and involved, most inconvenient.
The best way to handle them is to keep them in the dark. However, transparency supports statutes and homeowner rights.
Here are your rights as Homeowners (members) and the responsibilities of the board: https://www.azleg.gov/viewdocument/?docName=https://www.azleg.gov/ars/33/01804.htm
33-1804. A-5-D. Notwithstanding any provision in the declaration, bylaws or other community documents, for meetings of the board of directors that are held after the termination of declarant control of the association, notice to members of meetings of the board of directors and meeting agendas shall be given at least forty-eight hours in advance of the meeting by newsletter, conspicuous posting or any other reasonable means as determined by the board of directors.
4. Any quorum of the board of directors that meets informally to discuss association business, including workshops, shall comply with the open meeting and notice provisions of this section without regard to whether the board votes or takes any action on any matter at that informal meeting. (Note: If a quorum of the board (3 members) meets, virtually or in person, the meeting must be noticed to homeowners at least 48 hours in advance.)
In 2026 - No Newsletter... No Signs... No Calendar Entry
A significant portion of members are not on TownSq. The meeting was buried and not conspicuous. While most events are widely promoted on the website and TownSq calendar of events, this meeting was not.
MOST MEETINGS OF THE BOARD SINCE 2023 WERE IN VIOLATION OF THE STATUTE. THIS INCLUDES THE MEETINGS WHICH WERE CALLED EMERGENCY MEETINGS.

As of January 1, 2026
We have no idea what our current financial position is. We only have financials until the end of August.
Today is January 1, 2026, and we don't have financials for September, October, November, and December. Why?
Does the management company and board not understand our Financial Fiduciary or investment company's financial reports?
This is a key reason why the 2022 Board of Directors fired the management company. However, the unwise 2023 Board rehired them. 30 minutes after the election, and in violation of open meeting statutes. Thanks, 2023 Board... This is the outcome of your unwise decision-making process! Running a board involves more than landscaping.
UPDATE - Today is January 7, 2026
The management company and board finally decided to post the financials to the end of November 2025. We still don't have the end-of-year data.
Are you sure that it's wise to vote for the INCUMBENTS?

UPDATE - Today is January 7, 2026
The management company and board finally decided to post the agendas to the end of November 2025. We are still missing the April Agenda. How about the 2026 Agendas?

Where can we find the 2025 Board's committee meeting minutes and agendas? By statute, all meetings should be announced and notified to members.
See an example of a proper listing of committee agendas below.
Questions:
Comparing agendas below, which does a better job of telling you what will happen at the board meeting?
Which agenda does a better job of informing people who can't attend the meeting in person and who may need accommodations?
Have you wondered why the board doesn't take the time to discuss much of anything during board meetings?

Board Meetings
Violation - No proper notice of meetings. No board meeting signs on BLVD. No Newsletter.
[If you are not on TownSq, you are not receiving notices and agendas]
[If you aren't able to physically attend the meetings - That's just too bad]u
No Zoom for those who can't attend meetings and have asked for accommodations.
The community has no idea what is being voted on at each board meeting.
Meeting agendas don't contain enough information to determine what precisely will be discussed and potentially voted on.
Associa and the Board continue to violate statutes.
Operations
No erosion mitigation published execution plan for the work being done.
No erosion published mitigation budget. (Or is the board comingling accounts by collapsing general ledger accounts.)
Using Facebook Groups instead of TownSq to share community information. (These include non-members.)
They allow people to post anonymously when attacking other members.
By doing so, they mute opposing voices.
Closing requests on TownSq without completion or explanation.
Disorganized and sloppy work on the community platform TownSq.
The management company is not supporting continuity from board to board. (Why? The less the board knows, the more power they have.)
There is more to running our HOA (a 501 (c) (4) non-profit corporation) than just landscaping.
The landscaping looks good; the rest needs improvement.
Here are some Action Items assigned (Careful, these may be next)
Research and Development Tasks
Several members were assigned to research the feasibility of new community amenities:
• Pickleball Court: RS took the lead on gathering information regarding adding a court to the park.
• Sand Volleyball: MC was assigned to research the costs and requirements for a volleyball court.
• Walking Path: SW was tasked with researching a walking path around the park.
Problem - Selective Enforcement of CC&Rs
Note: We will discuss this issue in future versions of the website.
June 2025 Vehicle Towing Violation Policy
Have you seen any improvements? People park wherever they want, whenever they want.
What is the purpose of our CC&Rs and policies if they are not enforced?
Board Keeping Members in the Dark - Especially For Erosion Mitigation

2024 & 2025 Landscape Scope of Work
What are your thoughts about the Scope of Work and an hourly contract?
The board is spending money on annual cleanup and band-aid projects near the channels (bottom), instead of addressing the issue from the top down.
The '22 Board Handed the WLB Report to '23, '24, and '25 Boards
All decided to do their own thing...
Nothing was done according to the plan that we received from the engineering company. The 2025 Board informed the engineering company of our plans. They asked for their opinions on our current board's plans. (No salesperson will say no to a customer.)
Erosion Exists - Use Areas 1 & 2 as test sites
Start from the top by replacing the failed natural swale with shotcrete channels (not rocks, which will allow runoff water to continue creating headcuts and erosion) with a single or multiple channels based on the volume of water and the height of the hill. We should also replace some of the failed wattles. This will resolve the issues in areas 1 & 2 if done by professionals, NOT LANDSCAPERS.

Nothing has been done other than wasting our money and time cleaning channels

Interesting timing.

Running Roses Erosion Update
There are a number of projects within the area of erosion mediation for Running Roses - the current project is to protect the integrity of the spillways - over time - water runoff has exposed the sides of the spillways putting at risk the stability of the current structures - the pictures below show one spillway with an affected area and on the other side current work to stabilize the spillway - all spillways will be addressed in order to move them to "monitor and maintenance" - once the spillways are completed - the erosion "scars" on the slopes will be addressed next...our commitment is to get the entire area of Running Roses to "monitor & maintenance"

Is this part of the budget or contract?
