President's Message

           PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

The last month has been a busy one for the Board of Directors. The Board has initiated a new process to help our Members be better informed. An Agenda Workshop was held to allow the Board and the public to flush out the upcoming events that will be presented at the monthly Board meeting. A Food and Beverage Task Force has been formed, comprised of staff, Board members and homeowners. The purpose of this working group is to focus on the processes that effect labor, costs of goods and quality of management.

The agenda meeting brought to our attention the need to restructure the Committee Project process. The Board feels that reports need to be ready for presentation before asking for a Board hearing and vote. The project checklist for completeness will be reviewed and updated as necessary. Future "Community Project Information Meetings" will be scheduled and announced.

Staff and Committees are working on the final project request for the Lakes Course Renovation. An order for the pump station on the course has been placed. The remaining areas to be vetted will be presented in March.

Please be alert for future workshops and special Board Meeting dates and of course please plan to attend our regularly scheduled Board Meetings.

She improved the timing of our monthly financial close and has worked with the Department Managers to report the necessary data in a timely fashion.

A Message From Patrol

Attention All Drivers

2005 Arizona Revised Statutes - Revised Statutes �28-792 Right-of-way at crosswalk

A. Except as provided in section 28-793, subsection B, if traffic control signals are not in place or are not in operation, the driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way, slowing down or stopping, if need be, in order to yield to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a crosswalk when the pedestrian is on the half of the roadway on which the vehicle is traveling, or when the pedestrian is approaching so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger. A pedestrian shall not suddenly leave any curb, or other place of safety, and walk or run into the path of a vehicle that is so close that it is impossible for the driver to yield.

B. If a vehicle is stopped at a marked crosswalk or at an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection to permit a pedestrian to cross the roadway, the driver of another vehicle approaching from the rear shall not overtake and pass the stopped vehicle.

South Dobson Gate Repairs

Purchase orders have been released to three different contractors in order that the South Dobson Gate can be repaired as quickly as possible. Concrete work will started Wednesday, February 25, 2015, and should be completed by Saturday, February 28, 2015.

The electrical contractor will start his work on Monday, March 2, 2015. New wires have to be pulled from the meter, which is located almost across from the Catholic Church. At that point, all new electrical equipment will be installed. Once that is done, and we hope it won't take more than a week, the gate technician will start to re-install all the gate equipment. That should take no more than a day. We anticipate the gate will re-open no later than March 10, 2015.

Director of Patrol

A Message From ALC

WHO IS STRONGER, THE WEEDS OR YOU?

When you consider the tenacity of weeds, it is a wonder any of us win the battle we wage with these pesky invaders. Homeowners need to be tenacious too. We need to maintain the community standards we all agreed with when we moved into this great place called IronOaks. Please do your part by surveying your property today, and removing and discarding any weeks you find. The Architectural Landscape Department thanks you for your efforts in this regard.

The Architectural Landscape Department thanks you for your efforts in this regard.

Crack Sealing

Annual IronOaks Preventive Road Maintenance 2015

Crack Sealing

This will affect all of Ironwood and sections of Oakwood

We will be performing Crack Sealing on the roads in the units listed below.

Please note: this is crack sealing not crack filling. After this process is completed, the fill material will not always be level with the surface of the road. This process will not affect any home owner related activities or appointments. This process moves along quickly and the roads can be driven on immediately once the contractor leaves the vicinity of your home. The locations where this process is being performed will receive a seal coat & re-stripe during late May/June of 2015.

In Units 29 & 31: February 27 - March 2nd all roads in these units will be sealed.

Champagne Drive

Lambert Drive

Cedar Waxwing Drive

Halley Court

Nacoma Drive

Hercules Drive

Coopers Hawk Drive

Stoney Vista Drive

North Dobson Road (from Sun Lakes Blvd to the North Dobson gate)

March 3rd this road will be sealed

EJ Robson Blvd. (from Riggs Road to North Dobson Road)

Throughout the course of this project, South Oakwood Blvd and connecting parking lots will be crack sealed. This will be accomplished in sections each morning before the buildings open. This way we can avoid congestion and maintain the traffic flow.
