Thank you for your email in reference to the upcoming meeting to be held on January 15th at 5:00 pm.

I spoke recently with Deputy Glenn about the reports that he had taken in reference to the recent activity in Will Rogers. I also read the reports that were written by other Deputies who had responded to the area to different complaints and conclude that most of the thefts could have been prevented by the individual victims.

A couple of brief pro-active recommendations that I would suggest at this time are;

ATV's and similar recreational vehicles should be secured in a garage and the doors locked. If the garage is not an option, then disable the ignition system and secure them in a controlled area such as chaining them in the back yard. Always remove ignition keys.

Victims often let their cars or trucks idle in the driveway with the doors unlocked or swung open. Do not do this because this gives a person the opportunity to steal the vehicle. I have personally removed the keys from unattended running vehicles in Will Rogers and other neighborhoods where I sat for a lengthy period before the owner returned to the vehicle. It takes a thief just a few seconds to steal a vehicle that may not have a key, and immediately if the key is left in the vehicle.

It is highly advised that homeowners secure their vehicles in their locked garages and keep laptops, cell phones and other items of value out of sight if left in the vehicle. Lock the items in the trunk if you must keep property in the vehicle even inside a garage. Never leave a purse or wallet or other document carrier in a vehicle. Theft of these items are high on the list because of credit cards, driver license and other documents that are easy devices enabling Identity Theft, Fraud and other crimes.

In closing, I look forward to your community meeting on the 15th and will be happy to address your neighborhood concerns.

The WRER website has implemented two (2) mailing lists. A mailing list is a list in which a person subscribes with their email address and all emails to the mailing list are reflected back to all subscribers.

The first mailing list is the announce mailing list. This can be used to make announcements to all subscribers. This is especially useful for Rossmar, the Board, Event Committee, etc.

To subscribe to the announce mailing list, either visit this web page http://wrer.org/mailman/listinfo/announce_wrer.org or send an empty email to announce-subscribe@wrer.org.

The second mailing list is the discuss mailing list. This can be used for continued discussion on any desired topic for all subscribers. For example, if neighbors wanted to discuss a posted announcement, this is the ideal place.

To subscribe to the discuss mailing list, either visit this web page http://wrer.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_wrer.org or send an empty email to discuss-subscribe@wrer.org.

You may also visit the Restricted area of the web site http://wrer.org/restricted/ to subscribe. Email me at connet@wrer.org for the username and password. This section is for home owners only, so no one outside of our community has access to this section or the mailing lists.

Have no idea what I'm talking about? Start here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_mailing_list.

The Board of Directors would like you to know that SRP, the Town Of QC and Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church are working together on a project to create a driveway from the Church leading out on to 205th St. The driveway will be located between Ocotillo and Appaloosa.

Andy Fritz attended a meeting with the Town who explained although WRER maintains the property - the Town has the right of way. Andy advised there are several things happening with the improvement on Ocotillo that is forcing the Church to close their driveway leading out to Ocotillo leaving them with only one entrance/exit. The town is going to include an entrance/exit from the bypass. This should reduce some of the traffic.

I did speak to a representative of the Town who tells me that SRP (who is leading this project) will repair / replace anything damaged by them to ensure our landscaping system is not compromised. I have passed this information on to MMM Landscaping who will meet with the contractor before any work is started to ensure the Associations needs are met and the irrigation system put back in to working order.

This project should begin in the next week or so. You can use 205th during this time to enter/exit the subdivision. Just be cautious of the workers

Neighbors, to voice your concerns with regard to this project, please email the following people:

Thank you!

Question......Does anyone out there know how to operate a tractor or bobcat?

The community clubhouse parking lot is scheduled to be repaired and seal coated per our 2007 reserve study. The asphalt area to be worked on extends from the street entrance on Colt - moving west towards the clubhouse parking lot. The work will take (2) days to finish.

Schedule:

Mon May 21 - if you need your horse trailer / RV / boat / flat bed for the next few days you must take them out today Tues May 22 - no vehicle traffic in / out of barn area / clubhouse parking lot. work to begin on repair and seal coating Wed May 23 - traffic can come in/out of the barn - but no parking in clubhouse parking lot - stripes will be painted on this day

Barricades will be set up on Colt to prohibit traffic from coming in / out of the parking area. If you bypass the barricades for any reason, you will be responsible for any damage incurred plus any towing fees if you should leave your vehicle there overnight in the smaller parking lot.

This goes without saying that horses can not walk across the asphalt either. If your horse needs to leave please remove your horse prior to Tues May 22. Please also schedule your ferrier / vet around these dates as well.

The total cost for this project is $1901 and will be deducted from the associations reserve account.

If you have any questions or concerns please direct them to me.

Thank you,

On April 16, 2007, the Governor signed HB 2503. This new law will become effective 90 days after the current legislative session ends. This law applies only to planned communities.

Under the new law, an association may not prohibit children who reside in the community from engaging in recreational activity on residential roadways under the jurisdiction of the association and on which the posted speed limit is 25 miles per hour or less. This law overrides any contrary provision in the association's documents.

The new law also requires an association to allow the use of cautionary signs regarding children. The sign must meet five requirements, however. First, the sign must be displayed in a residential area. Second, the sign must be removed within one hour after the children have stopped playing. Third, the sign must be displayed only when children are actually present and within 50 feet of the sign. Fourth, the sign must not be taller than three feet. And finally, the sign must be professionally manufactured or produced.

In the next few days, work will begin on painting the outside of our community clubhouse. The work entails pulling all the vines down off the north side of the building, painting the entire outside of the building, the underside of the roof on the patio, the pillars on the patio, the trim, the wrought iron fence leading into the pool and the gazebo in the pool area. Also in the upcoming weeks the parking lot will get a new makeover. That work will include clean parking lot free of debris, seal all cracks, seal coat, re-stripe and paint thehandicap parking space.

This work is being paid for out of our homeowners association reserve account. Each month, part of your $78.00/mo HOA payment goes into the reserve account. The reserve account is money set aside to pay for capital projects in the neighborhood. These are the only 2 projects currently scheduled to be done in 2007.

Please feel free to contact me at melanicaron@cox.net if you have any questions.

Thank you,

At the April Home Owners Association meeting, it was discussed and voted on to place a soda/water vending machine outside of the community clubhouse.

The perks are:

1. There is no rental fee to have the machine on our property
2. No contract/no liability to WRER HOA (if it doesn't work, we cancel with a 30 day notice)
3. Cost per can is $1.00. Thirty cents (.30) of every can sold will go into the home owners association account. The income will be tracked on the financials as "soda machine rental".
4. It will be maintained and serviced by JES Vending in Mesa

If, at anytime, the machine "eats your money" please place a taped note on the machine. Please put your name, address and phone number on the note. This is very important if you want to be reimbursed.

Horse owners please feel free to write me back with any suggestions at Sabrinayp@yahoo.com

Rudy Villegas provided a special treat when he and his dog Blanco demonstrated some of the skills Blanco uses as a certified canine visitor to nursing homes.

Thank you to all who helped make this another successful WRER neighborhood event!

Many thanks go to event coordinator Sandy Lissner, and those who helped, including Diane Villegas, Geri Couchman, Karen Howatt, Marilyn Allen, Diane George, Donna Brennan, Melani Caron, and Sabrina Palomarez. Thank you, also, to everyone who helped set up and clean up, and to everyone who contributed baked goods. Great job, Sandy!!!

A neighbor found the sweetest male dog roaming around the front of our houses near the NEC corner of Appaloosa and 203rd last night (Thursday). She knocked on our door to see if he was ours and unfortunately he wasn't, but took interest due to his incredible disposition. He seems fairly young (not a puppy), faded dark blue collar, tan/brown, amber eyes, spotted tongue, maybe lab/pit bull or mastiff mix (sorry, not good with dog breeds) and about 110+/- lbs. Please contact me if he is yours or have any leads.

Sincerely,

The Fine Print: Roping is not allowed. If you kill a cow, you bought it. This is not an HOA sponsored event.

Per section 4.4 of the Bylaws it is the Boards duty to vote on a successor. Donna Brennan was voted in to fullfill the remaining term which expires November 2007. Donna was the only other candidate to run for election last fall.

The next HOA meeting is Tues Feb 13th, 6:30p at the clubhouse.

Welcome aboard Donna!

Saturday, January 20th after the pancake breakfast, come out with your neighbors and assist with beautification!!! We are getting together to work on and clean up the barn area. Please come with tools and work clothes. There will be a list of items to be worked on. If you have any suggestions please forward them to SabrinaYP@yahoo.com.

1. WRER residents receive 1st priority
2. The organization must have a Certificate of Insurance (covers damage to the clubhouse and covers them if someone gets hurt)
3. Rental fee is: $25/hr
4. No weekends during high peak months
5. All dates / times will be reviewed b/4 approved
6. All rules (cleaning clubhouse etc) must be followed
7. Rental is for Clubhouse only (not for the pool)

So far we've rented out to (2) organizations. The 1st customer to book the clubhouse has been the Orchard Ranchettes HOA. They have had their neighborhood Board meetings at the clubhouse twice now. The WRER HOA has earned $150 in rental income from this neighborhood.

Our current rental is Laura Jasper (resident) who is currently holding Yoga classes in the clubhouse.

Each application to rent our facility will be on a case by case basis and will be Board approved. Since a Certificate of Insurance is required our facility will not be rented out for your friends personal usage. The idea is to have space availalbe for business purpose only.

Again, no WRER resident will be turned away from using the clubhouse because it was rented to an outside organization. The residents always has priority. Please continue to check the website for clubhouse bookings/availability.

The barn committee will be meeting on Wed night at 7:15pm in the clubhouse patio. Meeting is open all interested are welcomed. No further information is available.
