POWER RANCH ALWAYS STANDS OUT! BY REBECCA HILL Community Manager
As everyone has experienced, price increases in both services and goods, we too have seen increases from the current market. Both the Board of Directors and the Budget and Finance Committee members ask all the pressing questions; from where are the cost saving opportunities to how can we strategize by leveraging the current real estate sales within the community? Your Board applies the Vision-Mission-Values statement when making important decisions regarding the future of our community and remain committed to providing residents with the highest level of community living. Recently our team looked at where we measure up with neighborhoods in the immediate area. Power Ranch always stands out! Below is a brief snapshot of the surrounding communities and their offerings. In most cases you will see that Power Ranch has far more amenities and provides enhanced dedicated services. Congratulations on making the smart investment!!!

WHY DON’T WE SPEND ALL THE MONEY WE HAVE?
WATER CONSERVATION FOR TOMORROW
BY NICK CARRILLO Board Treasurer
Each year the Budget & Finance Committee, in cooperation with the association’s management team, set forth to build the following year’s comprehensive budget for review and approval by the association’s board of directors. The budget is established with consideration that the Power Ranch remains one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the Valley and southwest region. When the committee budgets, there are three key considerations: Annual Budget, Reserve Funding and Quality of Life as a Power Ranch resident. Annual Budget – The committee reviews the various revenue streams in conjunction with where the monies are expensed and with the ultimate desire to assure the budget serves the best interest of the community as a whole. First, there is a deep dive into the previous year’s income and expenses to identify strengths and shortcomings. Then, a review of anticipated costs and needs of the community with consideration of resident input and suggestions as received over the past year. Lastly, creation of a modest and thoughtful budget addressing all matters without overspending to assure a balanced budget scenario year over year. Unfortunately, circumstances outside the association’s control can cause for budget overruns which have to be accounted for and planned through contingency funding as well. Most recently, the budget allocation for minimal year-over-year storm damage couldn’t address excessive labor and removal fees from the damage caused by this year’s massive storms that brought down over 300 community trees. Reserve Funding – It is a best practice for associations to have a percentage of their annual revenue held in a separate reserve account to provide for the long-term maintenance and replacement of the association’s physical plant assets. Such items include but are not limited to: lake pumps, perimeter wall painting, well infrastructure replacements, building upkeep/ refurbishment, playground equipment upgrades, etc. Every few years, a third-party engineering firm completes/updates the reserve study to identify these expenses and recalculate related repair/replacement costs to keep up with relevant market changes. Unexpected changes in reserve costs come when things are stolen, severely vandalized, or as seen in recent years with the required $1,600,000 well pump, well lining and shaft reconstruction have complete failure earlier than anticipated. Quality of Life as a Power Ranch resident – The Power Ranch community is well known for its forward thinking and thus continues to win awards and accolades as a premiere community to live within the valley and southwest region. Each year, the committee and board listen for the things that matter most too current and future residents by welcoming new and innovative resident accommodations, landscape improvements, aesthetic changes throughout the community, etc. This category becomes the cornerstone of the entire budget process: in our best effort the committee and board strive for Power Ranch to remain a leading community in the southwest that meets the current and future needs of its residents. We all live here for varying reasons, but we all share something in common, we all live in the best neighborhood in the valley: Power Ranch.
Water conservation is not only important to Power Ranch, but also to the city and region where we live. The backbone of the water management system is the Maxicom central control computer. Located in the Ranch House offices, it allows Four Peaks Landscaping to communicate with and schedule irrigation for the 114 satellite controllers (which control over 3,000 individual valves throughout the community) from a single point. Using data gathered from the dedicated onsite weather station by the Ranch House Pool, we can modify irrigation schedules daily based on current weather trends. The onsite weather station measures, in real time, solar radiation, humidity, wind conditions, and collects any daily precipitation data. This system is programmed by Four Peaks Landscaping and will automatically adjust daily for any minor changes in evapotranspiration rates of the landscape. In turn, Four Peaks Landscaping can provide efficient irrigation based on the plant’s actual needs and current weather conditions. Using the Rainbird Maxicom technology to its fullest capabilities ensures we are doing our part to help manage the water supply for tomorrow. We are proud to say that we have stayed consistently under the current Power Ranch annual water allotment of 1250 acre-feet through sound management practices. The average annual water use for the community over the previous 12 years is 930 acre-feet. As we move forward and look to the future, the Arizona Department of Water Resources has issued the final order in the future water conservation plan and restrictions. “Beginning on January 1st, 2022 pursuant to A.R.S. 45-567 (B) the director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources has given notice of the conservation requirements and annual water allotment for POWER RANCH COMMUNITY ASSN of 950.49 acre-feet.” With the annual allotment being reduced from 1,250 acre-feet to 950 acre-feet, a 300 acre-foot reduction, enhancements to the current community landscape are being identified to help further reduce water use as the community moves into the future. The Landscape Committee is partnering with Four Peaks in taking a pro-active approach by intentionally choosing to reduce the over seeding of certain areas that may have been done historically. This includes converting turf areas to planting beds in strategic areas, plant density reductions in select areas and continuing to utilize low water use plant material where appropriate. The goal is to reduce the annual water use average by 40 to 50 acre-feet so that the community can meet the new water use allotment even in higher water use years. What does this mean moving into the future for Power Ranch? The goal is to accomplish the reduced irrigation allotment without sacrificing the overall design, sustainability, and maintain the beauty and feel of Power Ranch.

DAYCARE HAS GONE TO THE DOGS BY TINA EDENFIELD OWNER, DOGTOPIA OF GILBERT
BY AMY BARRETT COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR
Before you can understand what Home Owner Association (HOA) fees are and why they are important, you must first learn how an HOA operates. An HOA is a governing body that creates and enforces rules within a planned community. These fees typically include coverage for maintenance services, professional fees (attorney, management and insurance premiums) as well as landscaping cost and playground and pool maintenance. Not all home owners associations are created equal and there is no universal amount when it comes to HOA dues. The location, type and size of an association, as well as its offered amenities will influence the calculation of these fees. Your Board of Directors is responsible for determining the “proper” assessments to be applied toward each property within the community. This process typically begins with budget preparation. Each year the Board of Directors and your Budget & Finance Committee work to anticipate all the needs and expenses of the community for the coming year as well as factoring in reserve contributions. Some factors that affect HOA assessment rates are: • Change in Minimum Wage: As wages are increased the association vendor contracts may be impacted, taking more from the budget. • Inflation: Inflation rates and the rate of inflation must be factored into the reserve planning. • Rising Cost of Materials: We have all seen the cost of lumber increase recently and the impact to home prices. As the price goes up, the vendors making the repairs will pass that added cost onto the HOA, making an impact to the association budget. • Alternative Products: Your HOA management team and Board of Directors continuously examine new opportunities to identify products that may have a longer life or create an efficiency that can save dollars. Sometimes the upfront costs save everyone money over time. • Staying Competitive: Gilbert has a vast amount of new developments that are introducing facilities and lifestyle options that are driven by consumer wants. In order to stay relevant with nearby communities think about what that means to your current infrastructure and the costs of improvement. Every HOA should have a reserve fund for the purpose of covering unanticipated expenses as well as major replacements and repairs. A portion of each homeowner’s quarterly assessment payment is deposited into the community reserve account. Planning for future expenses and repairs can ensure sustainability. As we all know Association fees don’t remain the same forever and it is normal to impose increases as the community ages. Plus there is a rise in the cost of services and goods. Although we may groan about association dues, remember that when purchasing your home in Power Ranch you agreed to abide by the associations rules (including paying quarterly dues). Defaulting on your payments has an unfair impact on all community homeowners. If you are experiencing financial struggles reach out to the PRCA office and ask about a payment plan. The most important job of your Board of Director’s is stated clearly in their Vision-Mission-Values and that is the commitment to providing residents with the highest level of community living while ranking as a nationally recognized, highly desirable community that offers an exciting lifestyle for all ages in which residents enjoy the benefits of family, friends and community.
This time of year, families often get wrapped up in racing the kids off to their first day of school and daycare for the younger members of the family. But what about the family pets? Don’t they deserve a day of fun and learning, too? Dog daycare provides your canine companion with the physical activity, socialization, and supervision they need. We’ve all either had a dog or have heard stories about dogs that destroy furniture, shoes, and other items when families are out, which is not only frustrating, but it can also be expensive. This “acting out” is due to our four-legged friends experiencing boredom and anxiety, both of which can be eliminated with dog daycare. Not only is sending your pup to daycare a safer option than being home alone to get into trouble, but it provides physical and mental stimulation throughout the day to tire your pup out, making them calmer when you come home so you can also relax after a long day at work or running errands. Dogs will get much-needed socialization with other pooches as well as new people. A professional, well-run dog daycare offers many advantages for dogs and their owners. Open play helps dogs practice good behavior, make new friends, and become a more well-balanced pup by learning to play in a pack, creating great stimulation for their minds. They become less sensitive to new people, as well as new dogs, smells and noises so that walks can become more enjoyable for both you and your companion. Dog daycare alleviates boredom and loneliness, and can offer a safe, interactive, and fun, cage-free outlet for highenergy dogs. This extra playtime also enhances dog health and longevity, helping them stay active, trim and stimulated. As you’re planning your daily routines, don’t forget to include your furry family members and make sure they have an opportunity to grow, learn, and play just like your kids.

school report - power ranch elementary
“HOW WAS SCHOOL TODAY?” BY CHRIS REUTER POWER RANCH PRINCIPAL
If you’re like a lot of parents, you ask this question and often get a short reply like “Fine.” or “It was good.” Sometimes getting more details about their days can feel like a dentist pulling teeth. As adults we want to know that our children are having fun and learning at school. We also want to know when they face challenges so we can help them communicate and work through them. We are curious about who our kids hang out with, what they talk about, what they eat for lunch, and what they are learning. So many of us are trying to hang onto this phase of life when our elementary-aged children don’t yet feel “too cool” to talk to their parents (we hope!). As a father myself, our family works on actively engaging our kids with some fun and simple conversations about each day. Here are a few ideas to get those daily conversations flowing: Sentence starters can be written on strips of paper and pulled from a jar at the dinner table, or even just rattled off on the way home from practice. I’ve found that if the adults answer the questions too it not only models how to respond for our kids but it also helps them to understand what our days look like as well. • The coolest thing I learned today in science or social studies was… • During specials today I was able to… • At recess… • Today during reading our class… • Something I practiced in math today… • The hardest thing that I did at school today… • Someone that I talked to today was _____. We talked about… • I am excited for school tomorrow because… • In writing today I… • My teacher was most excited about teaching… Knowing what is happening at your child’s school is more than just an investigation. It’s an opportunity to create open dialogue with your children so when their days become busier or emotions become more complex, they always know your family is a safe place to share honestly, “How was school today?”

THE ACT 212 PRINCIPALS
BY RACHEL BROADLEY CENTENNIAL PRINCIPAL
At Centennial we model the ACT 212 principals: Academics, Character, and Traditions, while always going the extra degree in all we do. We are committed to promoting high standards and academics for all our learners. Our goal is to meet all our learners where they’re at and to help them flourish and shine. Our teachers consistently stay up-to-date on best practices, new strategies, and show the utmost dedication to their students’ needs when they are crafting differentiated instruction. We not only want our students to be prepared for secondary schooling and post-secondary careers, we want them to be contributing citizens too. Therefore, we implement monthly character lessons that align out our ACT 212 Pledge, which is recited daily. Our students learn about perseverance, problem solving, integrity, and pride to just name a few. These are the soft skills we feel round out our students’ overall academic experience to help them as they progress through life. For those readers who have been in Power Ranch for a while, know our Cardinal community loves our traditions! From our fall Pumpkin Lighting event to our Welcome Back Assemblies to our Fun Run… we truly love our annual traditions The 212 mindset means that we always go the extra degree in all we do. The theory is based on the idea that at 211 degrees water is very hot, but just going one more degree it boils and has the ability to create steam/energy and gets things moving. We weave the idea of 212 into discussions with students when discussing behaviors, the quality of work, as well as tying it into character traits during reading instruction. We are continually recognize our students for ACT’ing 212 by providing them positive praise by using our ACT 212 tickets, recognizing students at assemblies, and by creating classroom management systems that focus on recognizing positive behavior choices. ACT 212 serves as our moral compass in our decision making and it is a large part of our success and who we are at Centennial.

QUARTERMANIA IS BACK!
BY JOSHUA JOHNSON MANAGER OF LIFESTYLE SERVICES
Power Ranch is host to a variety of events, activities, and learning experiences every year. These can range from Easter egg hunts to haunted houses, and happy hours to reptile encounters. There is always something for everyone on our event calendar. With every event the lifestyle team plans and hosts here in the community, we always make sure that each one serves a purpose and has meaning. Of course, we always want residents of Power Ranch to interact and meet new friends and neighbors, but each event will also have a deeper meaning or an opportunity to improve your experience here within Power Ranch. One aspect you’ll often see attached to our events is an opportunity to give back to our community. Not just locally, but also in the greater Phoenix area and beyond. For instance, one of our most popular events, Quartermania, is coming up in October. Not only is this one of our most anticipated events of the year featuring an exciting night of food, drinks, and entertainment, it is also one of our biggest in regards to fundraising. This event in its own has raised tens of thousands of dollars over the past few years providing additional money and resources to various local non-profit groups and foundations. This event is the most popular among our local businesses; as a team building opportunity, business promotion/celebration and a way to intermingle and meet our residents. Participating businesses will purchase a table and/or sponsorship in which they kindly donate amazing prizes used during the event raffle. This event is dear to our hearts as all of the money donated and raised is 100% donated to non-profits such as House of Refuge, Girls Rule Foundation, and Jacob’s Mission Community Center, among others. Power Ranch is a community built on support, love and respect for one another as well as those less fortunate. It is very fulfilling to see our resident’s partner with local businesses to benefit such amazing causes. Aside from a new date, this year’s Quartermania will offer a brand new take on the event, including music, theming, and food, all while embracing the traditions that residents, sponsors, and businesses know and love. The lifestyle team is excited to bring this event to the community once again and we look forward to working with all those involved in this amazing event. Watch for event registration along with many other event announcements and activities in the weekly PowerLine and on your community website. We can’t wait to see you in person once again!
