A Message From Patrol

Be Alert to Vandalism

Recently there have been incidents of door bell ringing in the Ironwood Community. Several young children were seen running down the street. These incidents were not reported, therefore no action was taken. There was also a vandalism incident at the Ironwood Clubhouse where someone attempted to push a golf cart into the pool. Sand and rocks were thrown into the pool and shampoo into the hot tub. Fecal matter was smeared on the clubhouse windows. These incidents appear to happen during the early morning hours.

 

Maintenance has installed cables and padlocks on the clubhouse golf carts so that they cannot be moved. Motion sensing cameras have been installed on both ends of the Clubhouse. Chandler Police have been notified and are increasing surveillance on the surrounding communities. Letters will be sent to those communities asking for their support and making them aware of the situation. Our Patrol has increased their presence, and now travels with flashing overhead lights.

 

If you see anything out of the ordinary occurring, please call 911 for Maricopa County Sheriff or 480-782-4000 for the Chandler Police. After notifying the authorities, call the Mobile Patrol at 480-797-6508.

donation-containers.jpg Ad Hoc Gifting Program Committee Meets Jan 8, 2015

 

The IronOaks Ad Hoc Gifting Program Development Committee is holding its 6th meeting on Thursday, Jan 8, 2015 at 10:00 am in the Oakwood Clubhouse Library. The "gifting program's" purpose is to create opportunities for interested parties to donate resources for IronOaks community enhancements or for individual memorials. Interested homeowners are encouraged to join us. Please contact Joe McGraw (480-200-1517) or Gary Voelker (480-883-3958) for more information.

 

Master Planning Update

Master Planning News

In November and December, the Master Planning Committee reviewed five capital project proposals submitted by homeowners. The committee found that all were in keeping with the Master Plan and with the community's Core Purpose and Core Values.

The finding does not constitute an endorsement. However, it recognizes the proposals are in keeping with the desire for IronOaks to maintain itself as "an active adult lifestyle community with resort style amenities."

 

Proposals considered were:
  • Creation of a multi-purpose park in an open area behind the Oakwood Clubhouse (13-002).
  • Development of a centralized administrative offices center (13-004).
  • Converting the Ironwood clay tennis courts into a park setting, perhaps featuring bocce courts. (14-001)
  • Development of pickleball courts on part of the parking lot nearest the Oakwood kiddie pool. (14-006)
  • Substantial expansion of the IronOaks fitness center. (14-016)
In each case, the Master Planning Committee cautioned that further consideration of these and other projects should be done only within the context of a comprehensive plan to address the lack of available development space, future amenities needs and the problem of supplying adequate parking.

The committee appreciates work done by homeowners in putting forth their suggestions. In every case, project advocates came before the committee to cite reasons for their proposal.

More information on these and other capital project suggestions can be found on the homeowner section of the of the web site at:

Due to the large response from previous seminars, the Conservation Committee has arranged for more "Caring for Your IronOaks Home" seminars to be held.

 

Mike Scully, owner of the new common-area landscaping service company, Sustainable Landscaping Services, will present seminars on caring for desert landscaping. Mike is highly respected  and has received numerous awards for his work. His knowledge of Arizona, our water, our plants and caring for them is vast. Even if you attended last year's presentations, you will learn something new from Mike.

 

We have made arrangements with Sunsets at Oakwood to open at 4:30pm to accommodate early diners each evening. Since Tuesdays are comfort food night, there should be something delicious for everyone.

 

Reservations are required so we know how many chairs to set up. Please help us plan. Email ConservationSLS@gmail.com, tell us which sessions you want to attend, and names of the people you are registering.

 

These seminars were so popular last year we ran out of space. Please tell your neighbors and  friends to register early. The public is welcome but IronOaks homeowners will have priority.

 

All seminars will begin at 6:00 pm in the Oakwood Ballroom.

February 10 - Landscaping 101: Soils, Plants, Fertilizer, Pesticides

February 17 - Landscape Design: Planting Composition, General Irrigation

February 24 - Shrubs and Ground cover, Types of Pruning, Selective Pruning

March 3 - Trees: Desert-adapted, Citrus, Tropical, Planting, Staking, Pruning, Watering

Project Request Poll

 

 

The Board Wants Your Opinion

 

During the past year the IronOaks Board of Directors has received a number of Project Requests submitted by homeowners.

 

A Project Management Procedure was initiated by the Master Planning Committee and approved by the BOD. Relative prioritization, that was requested by homeowners of the projects is one of the steps in the procedure. The purpose of this poll is to receive that feedback from interested Homeowners.

 

The poll form was purposely designed to rank the projects in relation to each other. As discussed during various meetings, this poll is not a vote as to which project will be first. It is one method, among others, such as feasibility, potential costs, availability of space and expected usage, that will be used in analyzing whether the project should be considered and proceed to a full proposal stage.

 

The poll contains an abbreviated description of each project. We recommend that prior to completing the poll each homeowner review the full information for each project. This information is posted on the IronOaks website, and can be accessed via the "Project Request" button on the Owner Home page of the website or by clicking here 

 

The poll will be available on the IronOaks website for thirty days with an end date of January 11, 2015. The results will be tallied and reported to the Homeowners, Board, and Staff.  

 

 Please click here for access to the poll.
