2022 Annual Meeting Questions

Questions/Comments from the 2022 Annual Meeting of the Members

Jim Welch opened the floor for questions and said questions and responses would also be posted on the MPRHOA website.

Question 1: What is the term of the contract with ProQual?

Answer:  It is a 3-year term that was extended.  They have now been servicing MPR HOA for 4 years.  We had an independent outside consultant evaluate all contractors that submitted a bid and ProQual was recommended by the consultant to be the best to service for our needs, including the appropriate equipment and costs to handle this large of a property, etc.

 

Question 2: Can the lighting on the tennis courts be updated to LED to lower lighting costs?

Answer: We have researched this in the past and found that it would be very costly for this change and the expense did not justify changing them.

 

Question 3: Will we convert any more tennis courts to pickleball courts?

Answer: We considered it but decided not to because houses are so much closer at the other recreation centers and there was concern of noise.

 

Question 4: Lots of plants have died and been removed, are we going to replace them?

Answer: Scott Murray of ProQual Landscaping discussed our smart sensors saving us so much money that we are 40K under budget.  This money will go towards replacing plants.

 

Question 5: On the smart sensors, what does “lifetime warranty” mean – how long are they really warrantied? Do they work in the rain?

Answer: As long as ProQual is contracted to maintain the property, it is indeed for a lifetime. Scott explained how the smart sensors work in the rain.

 

Question 6: There has been a leak at the Rec. center for quite some time.

Answer:  Please call it into the office, as sometimes it is not leaking when crews are there.

Jim Welch asked again if there were any more questions. With no other questions or comments, Jim Welch thanked all for attending the meeting.

2021 Annual Meeting Questions

Questions/Comments from the 2021 Annual Meeting of the Members

 

Question 1:  Why was a “No Hiking” sign installed just south of Ray Road along Mountain Parkway?

Answer:  Per Jim Welch, signs have always been posted up and down that subject area, however are often knocked down or removed by hikers.  The one you are referring to had been there but went missing, and another was re-installed.  The Hillside Committee, years ago, decided what areas were o.k. for hiking, and what areas were designated no hiking trails/hills.

Question 2:  A 35-year MPRHOA member asked who was responsible for maintaining the street medians throughout Mountain Park Ranch? Can MPR maintain them? Can the lost Saguaros be replaced?

Answer:  The City of Phoenix is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of all street medians.  Jim Welch said he will look into the maintenance of these; however, it is difficult for MPRHOA to do any plantings, etc., because of a lack of irrigation and other reasons, like liability being on City property and doing their maintenance.  Scott Murray of ProQual Landscaping explained difficulties of getting Saguaros due to recent shortages in supplies, and many of the saguaros that died was due to the extreme heat in 2020 causing disease.

Question 3:  What is our policy on street parking. It is a real problem on his street.

Answer:  Jim Welch indicated there are few restrictions on parking in the street, however, we can send a letter to the area discouraging it.

Question 4: Can we use the bulletin board for signs at the pools instead of the signs were are using?

Answer: Jim Welch indicated that the bulletin board has limited visibility and signs are needed at entranceway locations that are more visible.

Question 5:  Why is the financial statement from March of 2020?  Can we move the meeting so it is closer to when these come out?

Answer:  Attorney Chandler Travis, indicated that the documents dictate when the meeting is to take place, not to mention financial statement can be found on the website and at the HOA office, so you don’t have to wait until an annual meeting to review them.
