NEW OPTION AVAILABLE TO PAY HOA DUES MONTHLY

Currently Homeowners may pay the PCHOA Annual Assessment (dues) either annually, due on January 1st, or in two semi-annual payments due on January 1st and on July 1st . Payments may be made by personal check, on-line banking checks or by Cashier’s check.

A new Monthly ACH (Automated Clearing House) payment method has been added to those existing payment alternatives. This option becomes available July 1, 2011, and gives all homeowners an alternative method for paying their HOA dues - on a monthly basis.

It has three basic requirements:

1. Homeowners must pay one-half of the annual PCHOA dues in advance of the semiannual due date in order to start this new alternative method.

2. A Homeowner may then begin to make monthly ACH payments in order to accrue sufficient funds to pay the next semi-annual assessment when it is due. (If insufficient funds are accrued to pay the next assessment, the homeowner must reconcile the balance at that time).

3. ACH payments are the only acceptable form of payment for this alternative. Checks of any form (personal, on-line banking, or cashiers) will not be accepted for monthly payments.

For example, to start this payment method in 2011, the homeowner would be required to make a payment of $870 on July 1, 2011 and may then begin monthly ACH payments of $145 starting on August 1. For each new calendar year, adjustments may be necessary to allow for any new PCHOA Assessment amount.

It is true that a number of homeowners are currently participating in a similar process whereby they make monthly payments in advance of the semiannual due dates. The PCHOA Board and RCI management have now standardized this new optional method and made it available to all homeowners - with the ACH payments as the only acceptable form of monthly payment. Homeowners previously approved can continue to make monthly payments as previously arranged. A billing insert will be provided in the upcoming July 1 billing statement with the information necessary to initiate this new method of payment.

If you have any questions regarding this new method of payment please contact Becky Stone at 480-895-4298.

NEW BOARD MEMBER APPOINTED

The Board interviewed two candidates for the vacant Board position (due to Ed Juengst's resignation) and has selected John Kiekbusch to finish the term ending December 2012. John was previously the Chairman of the Rules Compliance Committee and the Armed Forces Plaza Committee. The Committee Vice Chairmen will take over as Chairman - Bob Voccola for Rules and Bob Ewest for the Plaza.

POOL RULES

The rules regarding children's use of the pools has been revised for the periods at Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Board will also specify a "Spring Break " period each year, since that does not always align with Easter. At those periods, the allowed times for all children aged 2 through 17 be coordinated, however there is no increase in children's hours overall, and one pool or the other will still be child-free at any given time. The revisions are:

1. Children aged 8 years through 17 years must be accompanied by an adult, and are permitted to swim in the main pool at Eagles Nest only from 9am-1pm, and in the outdoor pool at Tuscany Falls only from 1-5pm.

2. During the designated holiday seasons of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and
Easter, children aged 2 years through 7 years may also use the specified main pool during the hours noted above. Holiday periods are defined as seven (7) days before through seven (7) days after the holiday. Other periods or times may be determined at the discretion of the Board or its designee.

DECEMBER 2011 BOARD ELECTION

The Board member position currently held by Jerry Younker will be up for election at the end of this year. Jerry has served his maximum two terms. Candidates for the PCHOA Board of Directors must be full time residents and have served on one of the HOA Committees: Rules, Architectural and Landscaping, Finance, Golf, Creative Arts, Unit Reps - or as an officer of Kare Bears. If you are interested in running for this Board position, submit a biographical sketch and picture to Jim Peaper, Chair of the Elections Subcommittee, at: jfpeaper@aol.com, no later than October 1st of this year.
