FOR ME
COMMUNITY HOT SHEET!
Note to reader: no explanation or follow up needed - I’m just keeping inventory of my experience and expectations as a consumer, transparently. I also intend to be an active participant in caring for the long-term viability of our beautiful community. <3Issue Tracking with Heywood Management
Residents need a reliable and timely access to communications about happenings in the community.
-This resident specifically requested to be included in all of the channels possible, she was not.
Residents need a “professionally standard” way to participate and contribute to the community.
-This resident needs a dial in. I am on board with the pool, but that’s not accessible to everyone, including me from time to time.
Residents need a place, of record, to communicate with the Board, outside pool deck meetings.
-This resident needs to feel like everyone could use more transparency.
I’m Keeping Up With
Trees
-We got the Tempe arborist to come, now we are taking and following up on the plan with a vendor.
Note: I’ve experienced this vendor as completely unresponsive, on all their channels.
-They are all dying. How are we caring for end of life? How are we sustaining the ones we have? What kind of landscape future are we investing in?
-We need to budget for a trim.
-When do we re-compete our contract with the current service provider?
-There is a committee yeah?
Water
-With the roundabout project complete, we are actively tracking the condition of our common watering systems inside the community.
Pool
-How do we keep up our “resort feel” commensurate with our unbelievable location?
-Our care plan is with one vendor, paid & responsive, and one resident, volunteer.
My Newbie Observations
Our resale kit is missing documents.
Do we need 4 apps?
Is there a named community manager responsible for our community? Like someone dedicated to us that wants to talk to the community?
