I believe that City of Mesa will be willing to do their part.

The water is flowing again! As we continue to work on renovating and improving the assets we have, including vital infrastructure, please keep an eye on our official communication channels for updates so that you are able to stay informed. Please make sure you are signed up for our email updates because it will often answer questions (sometimes multiple times over weeks or even months) before these questions go to the Dobson Ranch Residents Facebook page. In the most recent Rancher’s RoundUp, I discussed how the can was often kicked down the road prior to our current board. That means we will have construction projects that will be going on to improve the long-term outlook for our community, along with making sure our infrastructure is reliable well into the future.

Speaking of infrastructure projects, the reserve study is going to look different this year because there are projects for our community that should have previously been included in the reserve study but never were. In cases like this, some HOAs might move directly towards a special assessment, but that is not what we are currently looking to do. The main reason we are not even thinking about putting that on the table at this time, is that we are trying to work with organizations, including the City of Mesa, to accomplish these goals for the long-term benefit of our community and the City of Mesa.

Honestly, the City of Mesa gets a lot of benefits from the Dobson Association. We believe that Dobson Ranch and the City of Mesa will be able to work together to accomplish these goals successfully. However, we will let the residents know if we need your help to make sure the City of Mesa is involved. I’ll be clear that I currently believe that the City of Mesa will be willing to do their part.

We took a break from board meetings in August while many things we’ve passed recently are getting sorted out. The board of directors at Dobson Ranch is largely the overarching overseer of what goes on in our association, while others take care of the day-to-day business. Once the board makes a decision to pass something, the amount of time it takes to implement that can vary greatly, based on a number of factors.

During our recent meetings, we have been moving forward on a number of different projects. While this article is largely focused on upcoming projects and issues, we will take a look back at what we have accomplished this year in our next quarterly Rancher’s RoundUp.
