There have been recent reports of cars exceeding the speed limit and driving dangerously in SGRCA neighborhoods. If you witness this type of incident, it is recommended that you call the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Department dispatch line at 649-6449, extension 0.

The speed limit within Sedona Golf Resort is 25 MPH. While it may be difficult to maintain this speed, it is necessary for safety reasons and due to our narrow roads.

Section 401.A – Mandatory Connection Any property within the boundaries of the District, with a sewer mainline running adjacent to or within 100 feet of the property is required to connect to the District wastewater system in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance.

This was a standing room only meeting and people were told it had nothing to do with unsewered areas. Most people left. We feel it has everything to do with unsewered areas.

We are not opposed to sewer. We are against mandatory connection. We have been given conflicting answers about no one ever being forced to hook up in 42 years. Only new construction and failed will be required to hook up, if a new assessment area is formed we will be forced to hook up. It depends how you ask the question.

Unincorporated Yavapai County had not mandated sewer.

We are trying to place this topic(401.A) on the next agenda which will be 9:30 am, Tuesday, Feb. 17 at the VOC Firehouse. Someone had to drive to Prescott with 8 copies to make a formal request and then were told to email other questions. Prescott.

Look at this budget.

This begs the question: Where is all the money going that our community is paying for sewer? To other cities? Other states? That is for another time.

The BPDWWID map has not been updated since 2006. Sewer has been installed in Fairway Oaks on two lots. What does this mean to our residents?

Right now, we need to organize the subdivision, get an idea of who is opposed to forced sewer connection. We want anyone that wants sewer to have the opportunity, but for those with working septic to be able to choose to keep it. We want choice and that is very doable with all the other subdivisions that will be targeted after Fairway Oaks.

If you have received this letter, we are asking you to respond with a for or against forced sewer connection so we may attend the meeting with some statistics on behalf of the subdivision residents. We will be forming a petition for our residents of Fairway Oak in the near future.

We have a large amount of emails that were sent to be put on our list but have not yet voiced an opinion. Please respond as soon as possible. If you have responded, please do so again. We will alert you when the agenda item is placed. We are asking for support and attendance for this upcoming meeting.

Thank You.

Neighbors:

Notes from other community members working under the name Member Alliance.

Please contact this group if anyone can help by attending any meeting and taking notes. This is how we are able to keep an eye on committees and actions made. Even if you can attend one meeting every couple months, it would be a huge help.

Please contact member alliance for more information.

We, in Fairway Oaks have been attending other meetings beside VOCA and you would be amazed at what they share at one meeting and not the other. It is like a puzzle and by more neighbors stepping up to do a little piece, together we can have the information we need and also hold these committees accountable.

We all work and it is not possible for a few to attend all the meetings that need coverage in order for us to be effective. Please volunteer. Fairway Oaks Neighbors Alliance will be updating you soon on the easement request into OCC Golf Course and Fairway Oaks Subdivision.

Thank you.

I apologize if this is a second email with this information. I also apologize if you are receiving this and you do not want it. You are being sent this via a request that you made to receive VOCA information.

Some additional notes:
1. Mary Ann Waldron voted NO to the motion to extend the restaurant inventory payment of $3800. It was due on February 3 and the other board members voted to extend the due date to March 30. The attached notes indicate Waldron abstained. Waldron emailed the correction. Apparently she is quite concerned that members are informed she vote NO.

2. Waldron insisted the date for the member forum is April 7. A letter was sent to the board asking for them to reconsider the late date and schedule the forum to time with the receipt of the ballots. Holding a forum so late (about a month AFTER the ballots are received) is a waste of time, in my opinion. They were told that last year after a the low attendance forum. A huge percentage of ballots had been returned before the forum last year. A very direct email reply from Waldron stated again, the date is April 7.

We should consider holding our own forum with the candidates. Suggestion is to wait until we find out who the candidates are. If we end up with the two board members whose terms are expiring running again and the third a cohort…. we might as well stop trying to make things better.

PLEASE spread the word that we need fair and reasonable people to apply to be a candidate. Even if we just get several people to allow for real conversation during the election process, we NEED candidates.

3. Notice in the notes that the sewer easement was not voted on and there were statements made that clearly indicate conversations by board members went on behind the scenes. Business as usual, they meet in ways that circumvent the open meeting laws and by laws or just plain violate them.

The next board meeting is labeled as a “work session.” Nothing in the state laws or bylaws that allows the board to prohibit members from commenting at a “work session.” It is still a meeting of the board and members are entitled to comment on every agenda item at board meetings. But it is doubtful the board will allow members to speak. The topic is “changes to the policies.” The policies are supposedly allowed under the bylaws because the board can create “rules.” This board and other boards have used this to create policies that, in some opinions, circumvent the bylaws and state laws.

Thank you for your interest.

You have moved into what is known as “the village of old creeps”, you must never open your mouth or voice an opinion, just sweep issues under the carpet. I think you will like it there.

Welcome to the dark side. Take up golfing, it is very inexpensive.
