PRESIDENT’S LETTER

Mike Klonoski, President

Desert Mountain Master Association

Dear Homeowner,

I hope this letter finds you and your loved ones in good health and good spirits.

Sadly, turning the calendar page to 2021 did not entirely solve the issues of 2020. While the pharmaceutical industry has delivered effective vaccines, frustrations and struggles continue. As the battle to overcome the COVID19 virus continues worldwide, I pray that you and your loved ones all have access to the vaccine.

If you would allow me to be in a bit of denial about the threats of our time, I would like to share with you some positive thoughts about our community.

• Your safety and security is our number one priority

• We have been rediscovered and our home values are increasing

• We are financially secure with combined reserves of the Master Association and all villages of $23 million

Your Board, officers and staff are committed to providing an environment of excellence that maximizes your experience here and also maximizes the value of your home. We will continue to emphasize security, strong financial management, and high levels of customer service. The newest challenge facing us is wage inflation and our ability to attract the highest quality team members. We are adjusting our pay levels aggressively in response to the market, and will continue to recruit the best and brightest to Desert Mountain. Our community is at an inflection point. Almost 550 new homeowners have joined us in the last thirtysix months – Hello and Welcome! Last year saw alltime highs in sales volume, numbers of transactions and price per square foot of homes (see page 26 for our real estate report). Our trail system is a major attraction, with 20 miles of trails funded by members of our community. See page 20 for more about the trails and a link to a drone flyover! And the Desert Mountain Club has also had a membership resurgence given their robust package of sports, social and dining amenities.

The confluence of our low density, high desert environment with its open spaces and, if one desires, the activity package offered by the Club has made us one of the premier communities in North America during these turbulent times. The Master Association is committed to do everything in its power to continue the positive and energetic direction of this community we call home.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO

EMPHASIZE SECURITY, STRONG FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT, AND HIGH LEVELS OF

CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Cordially, Mike
