Old Business:
1. Wash Cleanup – Jean reported that the clean up last weekend went
well and no further clean ups will be scheduled at this time. There is a homeless
camp set up near the HOA property in the wash. Jean has informed them that
the property was private so they will have to move.
2. Parking E-blast – Jean reviewed the February 16, 2023 that discusses
the parking in the front of their homes and not to block any neighbor’s driveways.
The policies in the E-blast were approved by the Board and include designated
areas for parking extra cars belonging to people at a home that already have all 3
parking spaces in use. Gabby brought up an issue with a neighbor who has felt
she was not complying with parking policies. Jean recommended that police
called and informed if she is threatened. If this neighbor still harasses Gabby,
she should come straight to the board.
3. Parking Policy Revisions – Jean reviewed a redraft of the parking
policy. The group reviewed and requested that the exact wording of 6.6 of the
CC&Rs be placed in the revision. With that stipulation the revisions were
approved by Stu Smith with a second by Diane Welch.
4. Architectural Committee – Diane Welch reported on the topics to be
reported at the annual meeting.
a. Documentation
b. Vines

6. City of Phoenix Neighborhood Services Dept. – Jean reported on a
pilot program the City of Phoenix is creating regarding assistance with
neighborhood cleanup and to address issues with people without shelters.
New Business:
1. Application for City of Phoenix Neighborhood Service Dept. Jean
reported that this application has been filed. Access to a dumpster is still
pending. The HOA will schedule 2 more cleanups in the near future.
2. Annual Meeting -The group discussed that 3 board members are up
for re-election but Diane Welch is not going to run for her current position. Some
additional residents are interested in joining the board. The bylaws will allow up
to 9 board members but the number of board members must be an odd number.
The board agreed to consider expansion.
a. Jean reviewed the agenda for the Annual meeting from last year.
Stu and Jean will draft the agenda.
b. Change future Annual Meeting to October per the CC&R’s 1.8
and Bylaws 2.0 – Stu explained the rational of changing the Annual meeting to
October prior to finalizing the annual budget being implemented. He also
discussed that the current Bylaws allow the board to increase the number of
board members. Mary suggested the residents are notified that this Bylaw item and CCR1.8 will be discussed and voted on during the annual meeting. Stu and
Jean will notify the community 3 times prior to the annual meeting.
3. Broken Sign on 6th and Tierra Buena – Stu has contacted a
company, Smith Craft, who can update our street signs. He spoke with Kent
Grantham at Smith Craft (623-606-3389). 3643 S. 7th St. Phoenix, AZ 85040.
Also, the sign at the front entrance will need to be replaced due to son fading.

taken out by the HOA. The board agreed that the TAC committee will address
the requests from the homeowners.
