Thanks Graham for all the hard work you and all the board members do. I will get as many of our neighbors as I can to attend the next meeting. Maybe we can all band together as one voice and not accept the standard BS "Sorry, out of time" answer. I agree that us residents need to be in force to support you and Reagan and not allow the same excuse from Ogden, as it got really old last time.

There are a lot of things going on that just are not right.  The very first thing is that you DO NOT shut down the homeowners when it's THEIR HOA.  Ogden works for the HOA not the HOA working for Ogden. 

As for the "out of time" issue contact the school and get a room.  You can have the room till 11:00 pm if necessary and it's under $75.00.

What Ogden is not telling you as homeowners that is before any decisions are made by the board there is a process that has to happen.  First a motion is made and then seconded.  Before the board can vote on the motion the homeowners HAVE TO be given the option to voice their opinion.  Only after that can the board then make a decision.

As for the landscaping issue.  I do not understand how any management company that is looking out for what is best for the community would even allow a company to do ANY work without the proper documentation.  I'm also wondering how a management company would recommend that a current landscaper be kept on the payroll when there has been another company that is LOCAL (that keeps dollars in our city) that is willing to do more work for substantial savings.  With the rate of foreclosure and delinquent homeowners the first priority of any company would be to save money where ever possible.

I can not attend your meeting as a homeowner since I do not live within your community.  But I do read through all the HOA threads.  I myself am a board member for Desert Cedars and fully understand everything that you are going through. 

We just recently changed our landscapers to H&N.  Their proposal came in to be substantially less than what we were paying our current landscapers and will be on site once a week instead of the twice a month service that we had.

I'm sorry for rambling on.....it just gets me to hear stuff like this.  If any board member would like to contact me I would be more than willing to help you guys sort things out and offer whatever advice I can to help.  Just send me a PM with your number and I'll give you a call.

Smokin Ace, Tio Jr, I will be at the June meeting.....and I will motion........./and  or I will second the motion to have a vote to give notice to our present Landscaper ( I'm told 30 days) and to hire another company that does have a ROC and  whom charges us less money for more work.  Who also has the proper doc. to put down chemicals if we need them and who can do more than $1,000 worth of work if we need such.  I'm guessing that the company H & N has already given our board quotes.  They are also local so I'm sure that they would be eager for the business.  Let me know if there is anything else that I may need to include in my  motion.

Hello everyone,

First off, we would like to say thank you for your support.  We at H&N have been working as most of you know to become Senitas landscape maintenance company.  We know that we can do the job at a much lower cost to our community.  We are a local company that has to drive one mile to get to Senita where as any other company has to come from Phoenix or wherever.  At $5 per gallon for diesel, that alone equates to more money saved by using H&N. 

We have submitted to the board several different proposals.  We are willing to do many extras for free such as 100 front yard cleanups.  We know that we can provide Senita with top notch service at a large savings.

All of the owners and several of our employees live in Senita, as a matter of fact between all of us we own 7 houses in phase 3.  We are here everyday, to drive through the neighborhood to make sure it looks perfect. We want to live in a beautiful community.

So that you all know, we currently maintain Maricopa Meadows, we started Desert Cedars today and we will start Acacia Crossings on July 1st.  Their boards have all compared our bids and have switched to us because they have found that we will save them thousands of dollars each year and that our service can not be beat.  We are a local company that gives back to the community.   A great deal of our money stays in Maricopa not to mention the tax revenue that the city gets from our business. 

We offer personalized service, immediate response to any problem, at a lower cost.  Any contract can be cancelled upon 30 days written notice.  There is absolutely nothing to lose by trying us.  We know though that you will love what we offer the community. 

Please come out to the meeting wednesday and voice your opinion to the board.  They will listen to you.  It is your neighborhood as well as ours.

Thank you all,

H&N Landscape

H&N Landscaping took over the contract for us at Desert Cedars and has been on site just two days and there is a huge difference. 

They are not about the money but more about what the community looks like.  They care about Maricopa and want to have a great looking place to live.

You will not be sorry that you've entertain their proposal at all.  They will save you money and have your community looking better than ever before.
