President's Message
May 2012

WOW!! Three spring seasons in a row were basically missed here in Northern Nevada, as we basically have seen winter metamorphis directly into summer! Those that guessed right on this quick change and their lawns are already green are the lucky ones… the rest of us are hoping that the awesome thundershowers will put enough nitrogen to take thing over (except those pesky weeds…)

Our Annual Homeowner meeting was held April 5th, 2012. A quorum was not established, because we did not receive the required 15% of the total necessary proxies or attending Owners to conduct business. Only the member’s forums, election, approval of minutes, etc. were taken care of at the Homeowners meeting. The rest of the agenda moved to our regular Board meeting held directly after. At the Homeowner’s meeting, all five seats up for re-election were appointed as Board members, as they all ran un-opposed. Therefore, the same 7 members will continue to act as your Board of Directors for another year.

The Board is still working on repairing the south perimeter fence (adjacent to the airpark homes). As the Board & Management researched the necessary repairs of the fence, questions concerning the legalities of the gates that currently exist in the perimeter fence, were brought to our attention. The base fence has been repaired. The Board has instructed Management to research the Association files to see if the gates were approved by the Board.

I want to, again, make a request that all of our neighbors please take your time entering and leaving the project and please do not drive motor vehicles up on the curb, sidewalks and lots. IF THIS CONTINUES, our assessment $$$ will be used to put up signs, monuments, and/or fencing to protect those areas from being driven on. Please be courteous and refrain from driving on the sidewalks to avoid the speed bumps!

I want to remind all of those who are changing their landscaping from an original plan. No matter if done by the original builder or existing Homeowner, those changes need to be documented and submitted to the ARC committee for review and approval. Forms for landscaping changes can be found on the DVCA website or call IPM. It is a simple step, takes less than a week, and is for your protection. Please comply, or get a new plan submitted, if you need to do so in post-facto of the work.

The Golf Course has been busy with a lot of play as the warm weather and well maintained landscape brings the golfers into our project in droves.

Remember: “Owner Beware”….. broken windows and damage to homes/property from golf balls are Owner’s responsibility. (I had one shattered just two weeks ago).

The Golf Course has improved their menu for the summer and the staff there is always very courteous. I am encouraging all DVCA Homeowners to stop by and see what they have to offer. One of the great deals……the alternate Thursday evening Ladies golf mini-clinics and appetizers, which the local ladies are really enjoying …. Stop in to the proshop and talk to Rick!!!

So, let’s get those yards cleaned up, greened up (or those with desert landscaping) shined up and start the season out toward a great and positive summer!!!
