This (our first officially elected) board will take control of the Homeowners Association effective June 1, 2015 with their terms ending May 31, 2016.
Thanks again to Gay Barker for volunteering to cross-check all votes received with our electronic records to ensure a fair election. And please offer many thanks to Dennis Meacham as well for his role in establishing much of the structure now in place for the Ironwood Homeowners Association.
When West Valley went bankrupt we were literally handed a box of records and told, “You have one day to form a HOA and take control of your neighborhood.” The past year has been a learning experience and has required a lot of groundwork for figuring out how we can best manage what we were given. The interim board has seen a little over a year pass, multiple dues collections, and has dealt with the legal fall-out of the bankruptcy of the developer, the auctioning of the lots and plat 5, meetings with lawyers and property management companies, contracting laborers, and many board meetings. I can’t say enough to thank them for their time and efforts in such a volunteer role.
Our goal as the interim board was to clear a path out of the woods we were dropped into and then set structure and foundations in place for future boards to easily launch from. We were able to dig the association out of the red financially, ensure we were legally sound, pay off all outstanding debt, and have now completed our mission with the first elected board taking control in a couple of days. It’s been tough at times, but a pleasure serving our neighbors. Our best years are yet to come!
Sincerely, on behalf of the interim Ironwood Homeowners Association,
Brent Pirolli
