Association President Article
Greetings Dobson Ranch,
I am honored to be your new president and look forward to building upon what we have accomplished! Thank you to the homeowners and the board of directors for putting your faith in me to carry out the duties that come with this position.
We recently welcomed our new mayor Mark Freeman, our district 3 City Councilman Francisco Heredia, and many others from the city to the Los Altos Recreation Center for our annual City of Mesa breakfast, which overlooked one of our beautiful lakes. Our employees did a fantastic job of setting the scene with an outdoor breakfast on a gorgeous day next to the lake. Steve Burns, our general manager, and I provided an introduction before Mayor Freeman, Councilman Heredia, and several others from the city brought us up to speed on what they have been doing. You are welcome to watch and listen to the speeches as they were sent out in an email that should have arrived in your inbox on May 2nd. We look forward to continuing our longstanding relationship of over 50 years with City of Mesa in a mutually beneficial way.
The board has worked together over the past year to decrease costs, increase efficiency, and move forward in a positive direction overall. Much credit belongs to our previous president, Sam Javelosa, and we are grateful he was willing to serve in that role. While we will move forward focused on accomplishing the important tasks in front of us while maintaining and improving our community, we truly cannot achieve what we need to without the value that is added by some of our homeowners that aren’t on the board. For example, Michelle Masters has been on our Budget and Finance committee for quite some time now and recently took over as chair once Spencer Jarvis stepped aside after his long-term leadership of that committee. Tim McElrath has led the Master Planning Committee for years and we are thankful for the time and effort put in by all three of these committed volunteers. These are only a few of the many volunteers who dedicate their time and effort to making sure Dobson Ranch is a great place to live.
We look forward to welcoming others who are willing to serve by volunteering on committees that work together with our board of directors. Thank you again to our homeowners and the board of directors for putting your trust in me as your president. We look forward to continued success and making sure Dobson Ranch is a wonderful place to live!
