Lawsuit update

We have just learned that the Gila County judge has approved our motion to dismiss the Jack Burns lawsuit against the HOA. An appeal is possible -- we will continue to keep you posted.

Annual HOA meeting

An early reminder that our annual meeting for the HCR HOA will be held on Saturday, January 26, 2008. The meeting will start at 1:00pm and will be held at the Christopher Creek firehouse. Election of three Board members will occur at this meeting. A written notice of this meeting will also be sent to all members with the upcoming dues notice.

Meeting Notice

The next meeting of the HCR HOA Board will be on Saturday, December 8th. The meeting will start at 1:00pm and will be at Karl Mann's home (Lot 109). All members are invited.

One of the important topics for this meeting is a proposed increase in the HOA dues by 5%. Here is a memo from Treasurer George Miller regarding the reasons for the proposed increase:

New Business Item for December 2007 Board Meeting

The Board has the authority to approve a 5% increase over the previous year without a vote of the general membership. –CC&R 6.2.3.

Current Annual Assessment $728.00/Year
5% Increase= 36.00/Year

Total increase if 5% increase approved:
$36 X 165 memberships = $5,940.00/Year

Reasons to Support 5% Increase:

1. The assessments have not been increased in the past 3 years.
2. Expenses have increased and will continue to increase next year.
3. Our infrastructure is getting old and general maintenance has not
kept up with the needs. Our water and waste water facilities are in
need of paint and some roof repair. Estimate of these items range
from $5,000 to $10,000.

This increase is necessary even though we have retained earnings of approximately $200,000, because those funds are set aside for future updates and enlargements to our waste water system.
