HOA meeting

Meeting was cancelled due to lack of quorum. 
It helps when you have more people on the board to make things happen and move thing through faster. I hope that when they meet again in two weeks that we can get everyone together and go over the 2009 budget.

parting words. ( Click on pictures to enlarge)

May the next treasurer please STAND!

OK homeowners, you have intimidated the new person who was chipping away to create positive change to step down. Congratulations! But which one of you are going to STAND UP and fill the shoes?!  We still need a Treasurer, we still need someone to sign the checks and work at getting things paid. Will you step forward when the water gets shut off because no one has paid the bill?!
It's easy to point the finger but not so easy to raise it and volunteer. Anything you may have requested is going to continue to be delayed. So in the end the only person you have hurt is the community at large.
I hope you come to the meeting on Thursday with a solution.

Paying your HOA dues

It was announced at a recent board meeting that we have almost $30,000 owed to the HOA in unpaid dues! They never said who the offenders are by name but I was astounded to hear that it is such a large amount. 
That is THEFT! As far as I am concerned we all knew what we were getting into by purchasing a condominium.  
One person said to me that they refuse to pay because they don't agree with the decisions the board makes?!  - Just because I don't agree with all the decisions this Bush Administration makes or that we shouldn't be funding this war -doesn't mean I just stop paying my taxes?!
NOT PAYING = NO VOICE.
you can't vote, you can't be involved so therefor no change.
We have so many smart people in this community, with valid ideas, and a willingness to create change. But because they chose for whatever the reason to not pay they are silenced. 
We have others that comment and point the finger, yet are not willing to stick their necks out or put time in to volunteer to be on the board to get the changes we need made that help the entire community.
How can we turn a new leaf and create the change needed so that we can MOVE FORWARD if we don't all CONTRIBUTE?
I realized today that there are a few people in this community that are doing all they can to create more problems for our community. If they could only turn that negative energy around and put all that time into volunteering, into following through with ideas and into paying their dues then we would all be better off.
DON'T SILENCE YOURSELF. PAY YOUR DUES. GET INVOLVED... LETS MAKE REAL CHANGES!!

FORECLOSURE

Here is some info that I just found on the PIMA county website about the "F" word.
I have heard that several units in the La Vida community are either in or about to be in foreclosure, this info might be of assistance to you if this looks like you might be faced with the same problem.

Application to make improvements

I made one of the forms available for you online here so you can see what you would need to supply to the management company for any "improvements" you intend to make to the outside of the building.
You can check this out (click on it) and then if you email MPM management they can send you out the actual file or you can print this and fill it out by hand.

Request for new security screen

It was put forward and approved at the last board meeting that unit 399 can go ahead with the new installation of a security bars for entryway door and windows. 
There is a form that you can get from the MPM management company that you can fill out and send in with any changes or improvements you may want to make to the outside of your condo that is on the outside of the building.

NEXT BOARD MEETING

Make sure you attend the next La Vida Community board meeting in the community room.

Just moved here?!

I remember how hard it was when I first moved in to find my way around. 
"Where are the mail boxes?" For weeks my roommate and I thought they were over by the pool. Wondering why the keys to the mailbox wouldn't open the lock... It wasn't until some nice resident let me know that they had moved down to the lower parking lot near the Broadway entrance. 
This is all good info to have available to you when you first move in and continue to live here. Along with other things like  listing of all the trash and recycle bins, if your place starts to flood -where are the shut-off valves located?, who to call incase of a non-life threatening emergency- which in our case would be the HOA management company
 - You can reach Missy at 520-571-7400.

LA Vida community

I am trying to create a space that can be used by people that live in the LA VIDA community. Both for residents to find info and for owners to contribute ideas so that we can continue to improve our community.
I invite you to send me ideas of what you would like to see here. I will be posting up helpful info soon!
Thanks,
Jennifer
