ASOCIACION DE REGULARIZACION DE VECINOS DE LA CHOLLA, AC.

A regular board meeting was held on December 11, 2011 at the Cholla Community Center.  The meeting was called to order at 9:00 AM by President Mike Dugan with the following members present:  Helen Dahlstrom, Gene Court, Pete Pisciotta, Bella Howard, Jerry Ketelhut, jr.,  Tavane McComb, Pat Sledge, Steve Lee, Ken Goodin, Shirley McDonald, and Delegate of Vigilance Don Schmidli.  Absent:  Steve Willis, Laurie Weber, Kathy Barnard and Mexican Representative Valente Cornejo.

MINUTES:           The board had previously received minutes of the November 20, 2011 meeting.  Mr Dugan asked if there were any corrections or additions and there being none, motion was made, seconded and minutes approved.

TREASURER’S REPORT/FINANCE: Treasurer Helen Dahlstrom passed out the report ending November 30, 2011.  Mr. Dugan asked if there were questions, corrections or additions.  After answering one question, motion was made, seconded and the report was approved.

MEMBERSHIP:             Ms. Dahlstrom reported 648 members paid in full, 233 not current, 3 Mexican members who are not required to pay but 1 member did for a total membership of 884.  There are 18 members whose membership status is unclear.

OLD BUSINESS: 

                   1.      SPEED BUMPS:            Miss Howard reported she was informed signs for the speed bumps will be ready in a couple of days soshe will get in touch with SBR and see how soon they can install the

                                                          (1)

bumps. It depends on their availability due to the holiday.   The board was informed that a speed bumps and signs will be installed going east and west just past of the west gate to the Clubhouse.  Ms. Howard thinks SBR might put the second one in free, too.

                   2.      ELECTION PROCESS:             Nothing to report.                

                   3.      MAIN ENTRANCE/SECURITY/TEMPORARY FACILITIES FOR TRIAL PERIOD:              Mr. Ketelhut reported that Ms. Weber could not be at the meeting but wanted him to pass on that progress is being made.  Ms. Weber told him the Mayor had accepted the letter she sent to him.  The heavy rain caused some damage to the area where housing was planned and that would have to be looked at to see if it could be raised up.

                   4.      CHRISTMAS TIPS:                  The vecinos have previously given monetary Christmas gifts to the garbage people and the police. Mr Arvizu and Toto each got $100 and the auxiliary police and garbage assistants  each got $50 which amounted to $550 and the board was asked if they wanted to give the same amount’  Motion made, seconded and approved.

                   5.      REVIEW OF ROAD EXPENCES PAID & SUBMITTED BY HOMEOWNERS:                   Mr. Pisciotta reported he had received nothing from homeowners but has one pending.  The Vecinos have spent $950.00, repairing the Four Aces’ access twice.   At the present the Vecinos have a total of $1336 including the one who needs to turn in his receipt.  Mr. Pisciotta said the motion to cover expenses paid by the Vecinos and the homeowner was never approved.  Ms. Dahlstrom

                                                          (2)

suggested talking to SBR and making them aware of what is planned before turning it in asking to be reimbursed. 

ARCHITECTURAL:                  Nothing to report.

CLUBHOUSE:      Chairman Pat Sledge reported that one of the kegerators quit working.  Took it to be worked on and he was told it would be cheaper to replace it than fix it. Thought it could be fixed  for $100 so it is being fixed.   One warmer is not working and can’t find the part for it and there one has a hole in it so two new ones have been purchased for about $280 each.  Mr. Dugan had suggested that the back room be cleaned out again.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE:               Mr. Dugan said there was nothing to report.

GARBAGE:          Mr. Dugan reported he had Ms. Dugan bring down 2 sets of air filters, oil filters, fuel filters and is putting him on a regimine to maintain the Vecinos’ truck.

Mr. Arvizu is dumping in a different location near the road to Caborca and  not going to the one near Las Conchas.  That dump is illegal and causing horrible problem with flies.                                                 

ROADS:               Chairman Pete Pisciotta ordered another four way mirror and paid less for the second one.  It will be installed at the same area as the original one.  Mr. Dugan said the roads are in pretty good shape.

PARKS/ENVIRONMENT:                Mr. Court reported parks are looking good and he needs to do a yearly inspection to make sure swings are

                                                          (3)

 safe.  A lot of people were using the horseshoe area on Saturday. 

SECURITY:           Mr. Court asked if the Vecinos were furnishing electricity to the building across from the Police station and was told yes.  Mr. Dugan said someone lived there and it was suggested that we find out who it is.  Ms. McComb said it was a man who was deported to Penasco and washes the policeman’s car.  Mr. Court said the people who leave their boats in that area also use that house.  Mr. Sledge said we should stop paying for electricity and dig up the line is that is what we have to do.  He thinks we should continue to fund the police station until our security conversation is done.  He made a motion that the Vecinos do what he previously said, there was a second and it was approved.  It was felt that SBR should be aware of what is planned and Mr. Pisciotta will talk to them when he goes in on another matter.    

WATER AND SEWER:            Mr. Dugan reported there is nothing new.

NEW BUSINESS:                    Mr. Ketelhut brought up accounting and the fact the accountant couldn’t come to the meeting due to being in Hermosillo, he asked if he was slated for the January meeting.  Mr. Dugan told him he was going to submit his 10 questions,   have him put it answers in writing, and will try to get him to come to the meeting on January 15.  The same discussion followed as the last couple of months and Mr. Sledge felt he would have to come out on a weekday and have an executive session with him.  Mr. Lee suggested a trip to his office with the questions, write up a report of what he said. Bring it to the board and that should put an end to it.  Mr. Dugan said he would try to

                                                          (4)

 get him to come to the January meeting but if he could get a meeting set up in the next week, he would let the 3 people who want to go the  where and when.  Ms. Dahlstrom wanted to make sure we were following the law but would take every legal cut we could.  Mr. Dugan said dues would be raised $20 to cover the reports now being made.

Mr. Sledge’s neighbor is looking to put security cameras on his house and will be able to see most of Cholla and wanted to know if the Vecinos wanted to subsidize his monitoring.

Ms. Dalhlstrom brought up signs she wanted to email to the board and get input on them.  It states Cholla is private property, no trespassing, no fireworks, has all the numbers needed to call in case of an emergency in both English and Spanish. She  would like to put them throughout the community.

Ms. McComb asked if the website is being updated and Ms. Dahlstrom said she does the posting.

Mr. Dugan gets calls that the internet is not working.  It does go down and it comes back up.  There is a clock that will re-set itself depending on when it is set.

There being no further business to discuss, Mr Dugan asked for a motion to adjourn.  Motion made, seconded and meeting adjourned at 9:45 AM.

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION:

Neal Johnson brought up opting out of the Vecinos.  He had chosen to do that months ago and received a letter that said where to sign.  He

                                                          (5)

was told the Vecinos would put a lien against his property.  The lien, if he decided to sell the property, would be to collect monies for services he would be using that were being paid by other homeowners.  His reason for wanting to leave the Vecinos was that his home had been robbed and he didn’t feel safe in Cholla.  Long discussion followed on how he thought the robbers could be caught and would help stop the robberies. 

Ms. Dahlstrom said she sent a letter to him that included the Constitution and the Amendment.  More discussion by Mr. Johnson about opting out of the HOA.  Mr. Lee suggested to Mr. Johnson to opt out if he wanted to or he could be voted out, as is also in the Constitution.  Mr. Dugan explained why the HOA was formed and it was to allow him and other homeowners to get a Deed of Trust and own their property instead of renting from Gus Brown.  He was told that if and when he decides to sell his property, the vecinos will not stop him but the bank holding his trust will send a letter to the Vecinos asking if he was in good standing and they will be told no.   He was told he would have to pay what is in arrears at that time.  He was told his dues pays for services,  those services would not be funded and a lien would force him to pay that back.  Mr. Ketelhut said each person is responsible for their security but he felt the Vecinos could do more to help. Mr. Lee said security in Cholla is no different than any place in a normal community in the US.  Police are not sitting on each corner watching every house.  You may see them go every once in a while but we also have quicker connection to help there.  He suggested that neighbors know each other’s telephone numbers to be able to call and say they are concerned about something going on at their house. 

                                                          (6)

In the long run he was told the Vecinos have never faced the problem and need to look into what their position will be.

Bev Parker asked if there were people in Cholla who are not paying dues and using the amenities and was told yes they are because we have no way of stopping people from putting garbage in the containers, they drive on the roads paid by paying members and they get water from the standpipe paid for by paying members.  If more or all of the current paying members stop paying, we will either handle those amenities individually or seek anything available from Rocky Point. 

The man who wanted help to put up security cameras talked some about his project.  His house is very high, he is putting cameras on all four corners and thinks he will be able to see most of Cholla with a monitoring system in his house.

Bill Hensler suggested trying to get the security up and operable at the entrance.

Ms. Howard asked everyone to be patient and let the Vecinos get the entrance completed.  If everyone opts out of the HOA, the town we all care about will be unable to exist as we know it.  More discussion about  how everything should be done or not done.  Mr. Johnson said he was going to opt out and suggest that others do the same.  Ms. Howard told him what he suggested would stop income to do exactly what he wanted done and that is to get more security.  

Someone asked who the road belonged to and Mr. Dugan answered it was a public road which is what he was told in Rocky Point.

                                                          (7)

One person said he loaned a quad to someone who  was taking it out of Cholla and got stopped by the policeman who followed him back to his house to make sure the quad wasn’t stolen. 

Suggestion that a group go to RP and talk to the police/mayor about the problem in Cholla.  Someone also said if someone is robbed, it doesn’t do any good to go to the RP Police but need to talk to the State Police and they will send someone out to investigate.

Respectfully submitted,

Shirley McDonald, Secretary

ASOCIACION DE REGULARIZACION DE VECINOS DE LA CHOLLA, A.C.

A regular board meeting was held on Sunday, November 20, 2011 at the Cholla Community Center.  The meeting was called to order at 9:00 AM by President Mike Dugan with the following members present:  Helen Dahlstrom, Steve Willis, Steve Lee, Tavane McComb, Pat Sledge, Pete Pisciotta, Bella Howard, Jerry Ketelhut, Jr., Ken Gooden, Kathy Barnard, Shirley McDonald, Delegate of Vigilance Don Schmidli, and Mexican Representative Valente Cornejo.  Absent:  Lori Weber and Gene Court.

MINUTES:           The Board had previously received minutes of the October 9, 2011 meeting.  Mr. Dugan asked if there were any corrections or additions and there being none, a motion was made seconded and minutes approved.

TREASURER’S REPORT/FINANCE:          Treasurer Helen Dahlstrom passed out the report ending October 31. 2011.  Mr. Dugan asked if there were questions, corrections or additions.  Mr. Ketelhut asked a couple of questions about kitchen costs which were answered by Ms. Dahlstrom.  One of his questions pertained to the cost of getting the kitchen stove through the border.  Mr. Dugan explained that anyone bringing in something, deemed commercial has to pay a fee and cross  the border by 4 PM or they have to return the next day.  That person returned to the border the next day to get the stove. A second trip to pick up the stove added to the cost.  Motion was then made, seconded and report was approved. 

                                                          (1)

MEMBERSHIP:             Ms. Dahlstrom reported there were 606 members paid in full, 275 not current, 3 Mexican members not required to pay but 1 did for a total membership of 884.  There are still 18 memberships whose status is unclear.  Delinquent monies collected from October 8 to October 31 was $470.                                                     

ARCHITECTURAL:                  Nothing to report.                

CLUBHOUSE:                Mr. Dugan reported damage to the Clubhouse due to heavy rain on November 11.  There was water in about half the open area used for the meetings. The problem was the east door from the patio and a couple of others that  need to be fixed to keep rain from blowing in.  He said sometime in the future the roof will have to be addressed, too. 

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE:               Nothing to report.

GARBAGE:                    Mr. Dugan reported things are going good.  The scales still don’t work and we are still paying a minimum.  We have some new garbage barrels and Vecinos de la Cholla was painted on them to cut down theft. Holes were also drilled to allow  water to drain out.

ROADS:               Chairman Pete Pisciotta reported he got the Company working on Monday to make the roads passable.  He commended Ms. Howard for the great job she did in working with the Company and by Friday most of the roads were drivable.  There were a couple of problems near the Four Aces and the Company came in and did some work but a lot more effort is needed in that area.  The Company started work on Monday but Mr. Arvizu and his sons made some roads

                                                          (2)

Passable on the weekend for people who couldn’t get in or out. Mr. Arvizu worked with his equipment for about 16 hours to make the main roads passable before help arrived.

Mr. Willis asked if materials purchased by homeowners were reimbursable and Mr. Dugan said he knew of no one other than the Vecinos who laid money out.  He also said anyone who fixed their road should prepare a statement of what they did and submit invoices to Mr.  Pisciotta for possible reimbursement.

Mr. Pisciotta said a procedural notification should be made in case this problem happens again, something in writing as to how the problem will be handled. 

Mr. Willis asked about notifying people by email in a situation similar to what just occurred.  Discussion followed but consensus was to post it on the website since that is the way we put out information.

Mr. Ketelhut had severe damage and the water undermined an area of his home as well as a new water tank. Mr. Dugan talked to an adjuster and was told that anything outside the house was not covered but anything inside was covered.  Mr. Ketelhut’s adjuster said they would cover inside damage and the tank.  Some of their foundations were washed out and he said it seemed like all that would be covered.

Mr. Pisciotta had also found the fish eye mirrors and purchased one that is being installed on the hill east of the Clubhouse at the 4 way stop.  Cost was $180 including shipping and has a 45 days to return it if the sign doesn’t work.

                                                          (3)

Speed Bumps:              Ms. Howard reported she met with Derek Winzer and their Engineer Juan, regarding speed bumps and what was presented was too expensive.  She thanked him for what he did but wanted to keep the budget lower since the Vecinos are using the project as a test to see if it will actually work.  She talked to him on Saturday and he was willing to put up a caliche speed bump anywhere the Vecinos wanted it for no cost.  In this way it could be tested for durability and longevity without putting out any money.  Discussion followed about where to locate the speed bump and it was finally decided to install two bumps on the curve just beyond the northwest exit from the Vecino’s property going toward Tucson Beach with signs warning of the speed bump on each side of the road.

Ms. Howard reported Mr. Flinn would like to put a couple of speed bumps in front of his house.  She told him that before that can be done, they are testing the speed bumps to see how they are received and if approved, the homeowners would then present them to the board in a letter and approval or disapproval would come from them.

PARKS/ENVIRONMENT:                In the absence of Chairman Gene Court, Mr. Dugan reported the park is clean and being used.

SECURITY:           Main Entrance/Temporary facilities for trial period.In the absence of Ms. Weber, Mr. Willis paraphrased an email she had sent the board pointing out some costing, etc. and the letter she sent to the Mayor. There were quite a lot of cost details and questions about building in lieu of temporary housing.  Mr. Ketelhut said in this way we are creating an entrance at the beginning of Cholla and would be tied to fencing from there to the mountain.  Discussion on that facility was

(4)

tabled until next meetings.

Ms. Barnard asked how  security is going to effect the merchants in Cholla and wondered if anyone had talked to them.  The Board felt the merchants should be involved in how this plays out.  She is also concerned about the liability if there is a gate to secure Cholla and someone gets robbed, who is liable.  Several members felt it was a false security.  Mr. Ketelhut felt the time of robberies is usually after the business hours but he feels this all has to be worked out. 

Mr. Willis reported He was dealing with his burglary in a meeting with his agent and he was told there were 25 claims in Cholla last month.  In order to have coverage on motorized vehicles locked in a garage, you must have a separate policy on them.  He was reminded that insurance was necessary on those items in the States.

Ms. Barnard said Alejandro Portugal has two different underwriters on Homeowner Insurance.  One is ABA and the other is General Security.  She said the latter company has stopped covering in Cholla and suggested members check to see who is underwriting their policy.    

WATER AND SEWER:            There was an issue with one of the water truck drivers who will no longer be allowed to get water in Cholla.

OLD BUSINESS:            Mr. Ketelhut brought up that the Board had voted last month to talk about the accounting functions and reporting responsibilities.  Mr. Dugan had sent emails about what had transpired.

Mr. Dugan selected an accountant, and we have a Hacienda Certificate that  has been in existence since June of 1991 when the Constitution

                                                          (5)

was filed.  There was a note on the bottom to make reports as of 1/10/2008 – got the Hacienda Number.  The accountant talked to Hacienda to find what had to be done.  We had to record from 2008 to the present and that will be done each month.   He explained that we have no gross income because it is the dues and they are deposited in the states with money brought down to pay the bills. 

The accountant said bills paid by the Vecinos can be used against any monies made on the water which would be zero. He asked the accountant if any penalties, etc were owed Hacienda and was told no.

Three checks must be written from a Mexican bank each month and the Vecinos have an account opened in 2004.

There was a discussion about the handling of Mr. Arvizu’s contract and whether or not we are doing the right thing.  After much discussion, Mr. Dugan suggested deferring that question and discuss it with the accountant.  He will get him to meet with the board prior to the December meeting, if possible.

 Procurement Process:         After the last meeting, Mr. Dugan asked for any additions or suggestions.  He received one from Mr. Ketelhut which was incorporated into the document and a suggestion from Mr. Sledge which has been deleted because it wasn’t needed.  He also received an email from Mr. Willis who thought 0 to $5000 was high without board approval and was told that is about the norm.  He also thought there should be an itemized breakdown on bids. Motion was made, seconded and the Procurement Document was approved.

                                                          6)

Election Process:                   Mr. Sledge said one of their members has not been available for a meeting and suggested a report be made at the next meeting.

NEW BUSINESS:                    Mr. Ketelhut suggested that Old Business be covered after Membership so people coming to the meeting to see if there is resolution to what was discussed at the previous meeting. It will be tried at the December meeting.              

There being no further business to discuss, Mr. Dugan asked for a motion to adjourn.  Motion made, seconded and meeting was adjourned at 10:55 AM.

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION:

Kathy Hill asked who to send receipts for work done by a homeowner on a road and was told to send it to either Mr. Pisciotta or Ms. Howard. She also commented on the security at the entrance.

Ray Flinn again said if the building was built in 6 months, he would give $l,000.

A gentleman said he put in a speed bump, the water trucks complained and the police gave him two days to take it out. Ms. Howard told him his was grandfathered in.

Beverly Parker said she had recently been robbed she wanted to know why security is not a priority.  She asked how washers and driers are taken out without being seen and was told the police are not always at the entrance.

Someone asked about investigation and was told they should go to The State Police and not the locals.  They have the right to investigate any complaint that you file with them rather than the local.  The audience was told it was up to the individual to go to the locals, state police, or both, and ask them to investigate.

Mr. Dugan said if someone sees something, dial 060 and report it.  If everyone does that, it would be a start.

Respectfully submitted,

Shirley McDonald, Secretary
