Messages From the EE HOA Board

Homeowners and Renters Information

From Kevin Welsh, EE HOA Board Vice President

The HOA requires homeowners to notify the Association when their home is being rented. You may do this by downloading the Owner Lease or Rental Form from the website (http://www.esperanzaestates.net/) under Forms and Documents, filling out the information, and then emailing the form to the Secretary (eesecy@gmail.com). 

There is also an Information Sheet for Owners and Renters on the website that each owner and renter should have. Too often Homeowners are not aware of their responsibilities under the HOA CC&R's. We want Homeowners to be happy and Renters to be good neighbors and part of the community. 

Community Directories

From Ken Lindeman, EE HOA Board Secretary

We have a delivery of the new, 2023 Green Valley Community Directories. They will be at the Ramada for pick-up for anyone that wants one. We have 75 copies, so when they are gone, they will be gone.

Gardeners

From Mary Harp

The Gardeners will meet on Tuesday, April 25 at 8:30 a.m at Whigham Wash next to 201 Napa.  Bring tools for clean up, pruning and weeding. New gardeners are always welcome.

Don't Miss Thirsty Thursday This Week!

Thursday, April 27, 4 pm

We're having Thirsty Thursday this week, so come on over to the Ramada and join in the fun! Thirsty Thursday is EE's informal, no-host happy hour we have very other Thursday at the Ramada at 4 pm.

As always, we encourage you to bring a donation for the local Food Shelf.

Green Valley Council Report

From Hugh Rhine, GVC Rep, 303-249-5745

I attended the GVC Meeting on April 20. Key takeaways and updates....

Pima County Supervisor Christv

• April is Volunteer Appreciation Month. GVC is recognized as a volunteer driven organization. Its volunteers are key to making Green Valley a great place to live.
• Planning is ongoing relative to the 2019 Pima County commitment to improving all of its roads. Going forward there will be a shift of focus from 80% on local streets (like ours in EE) to 80% on main streets (such as La Canada). There will be stress on funding for the next several years.
• Reminded that Pima County has designed and makes available plastic garbage bags suitable for use in cars to avoid or reduce accumulation of waste in Pima County parks and public areas.

Green Valley Fire District

• Work on the new fire station on de Sol is progressing ahead of schedule and may be opened between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The current building will continue in service but with altered use, one of which will be to store vehicles.
• Snakes are out and active. There were 30 snake calls and removes on Tuesday April 16.
• Tour de Tucson bike race on Nov 18 is expected to be noticeably bigger this year since it has received national recognition as a premier biking event.

Sheriff’s Auxiliary Volunteers

• Crime stats for the month are down slightly, however issuance of traffic tickets is up 20%.
• Reminder regarding dogs being left in cars. While it is not illegal to leave animals in vehicles, law enforcement will break into closed vehicles and remove animals that are under “stress”. This can lead to felony charges for the owners.
• Home checks are, as expected, on the increase.

Other notes

• Starting next month, following the regular GVC Board of Rep's meeting, a representative of Congressman Juan Ciscomani will have office time at GVC offices to meet with those with items of interest or concern.
• The vacant former bank building at the corner of Esperanza and La Canada is under contract to be converted into an Urgent Care facility of Northwest Health.
• GVC Executive Committee has announced plans for a $2 increase in annual dues, thus increasing dues from $12 to $14 per unit.

Snake removal is a free service provided by Green Valley Fire Department. If you would like a snake removed from your property in Green Valley simply call 520-625-9400, and the Green Valley Fire department will immediately dispatch a fireman to remove the snake.
