Steve Sanson

Centennial Point Home Owners Association

Steve was unanimously elected with no opposition for a two year term as the President of the Centennial Point Association Board.

My name is Steve Sanson I am President of Centennial Point Home Owners Association. I was first elected in May 2004 an appointed Treasurer attempted to work with the Builder. In September 2004 the Home Owners took control of the Association and I was appointed President.

While being President of your association I and the board noticed a lot of issues that needed improving.

1.) We installed low voltage lights to the Park and Entrance from dusk to dawn. We installed a light to the basketball court to be shut off by 10:00 PM. We thought that as homeowners need to enjoy the park and we need to protect the safety of our homeowners. Children need a place to play and we need not to attract the negative attention in an unlighted area.

2.) The gates were another major issue. The gates were being broken all the time, people would use their vehicles to push the gates in and this would break the arm of the gates and cause major repair bills. We informed the homeowners and we installed spikes onto the gates on both entrance and exit to prevent costly repairs. We gave each homeowner a personal identification code and made sure that they received their remotes to operate the gates. In addition, we placed Magnet Locks on the gates so they would not be pushed in.

3.) The landscaper that was being used prior to the board was terminated. We hired new landscapers to maintain the park and common areas.

4.) We signed a contract for a website that was user friendly to give, you the homeowner a working knowledge of the community and keep you better informed.

5.) We as a board were split on the parking issues with regard to the CC&R. In an effort to help us rectify this concern we placed a survey out to the homeowners to find out if they were for parking on the streets or against parking on the streets.

It is hard to receive votes from the homeowners, because 130 homes out of 266 homes are rental properties, almost 50% of the homes are rentals. Receiving 75% of the vote is almost impossible. With the low turnout in votes we had no choice but to enforce CC&R 4.18.12 and 4.18.3 the No Parking on the street rule. We hired a Parking Enforcement Company, sent the homeowners notice that this procedure will take place and gave those 30 days to make proper arrangements, In addition, we sent out Visitor Passes to all homeowners.

6.) We also enforce the CC&R as far as our inspections of the property to make sure homeowners are aware of violations and to make sure that a homeowner are not infringe upon by another.

7.) In an effort to help out homeowners with more than two vehicles we started to expand driveways. If the homeowner wanted to expand his/her driveway they would submitted and Architectural Review to the Board and we would take a look at the design to make sure that they had the space to do this, it was not infringing upon their neighbors, and it was not a safety issue.

Our Secretary Donna Jester is our Architectural Review Board if there is something on an Architectural Review that is questionable she informs the board.

8.) We also noticed a large dog population within the community. We installed Pooper Scooper signs and Dog Stations will be in place soon.

9.) We utilize the park for Community Events, such as Garage/Park Sales and Independence Day.

10.) As of June 2005 Treasurers Report we have $66,792.95 in our operational funds and $19,979.00 in reserve. Our Treasure is Adam Dunyon he makes sure that we do not go over budget and insures that bills that are paid is legitimate.

11.) We also rehired RMI Property Management to insure the quality and safety of this community. Together with the Board we strive to give each homeowner a good and safe quality of life in this community.

12.) As President our lives don't stop in this community I have effectively taken on roles outside this community to better serve us. I have instructed RMI and I wrote letters to our County Commissioner Chip Maxfield. In an effort to force Republican Service to maintain their twice a week trash pickup. With all the letters that were against the once a week trash pickup Republic Service has changed their focus. You could see my letter in the Press Release button on my website at SteveSanson.com.

13.) I have also attended dozens of Town Hall meetings held by our former City Councilman Michael Mack, Planning Commission Meetings, and City Council Meetings.

14.) I have also attended at meeting recently held by NewMarket Land Company; they are proposing to rezone Tee Pee and Oso Blanca from residential to commercial adding office buildings and a 24 Hour convenient store with a gas station on the 5.03 acre parcel. You can review my letter to the Planning Commission in the Press Release at SteveSanson.com.

15.) We are also looking at the feasibility of adding Speed Bumps and In Ground Spikes to the exit gates. We are receiving information about a lot of near misses at the exit gate. It seems that people are using the exit gate as an entrance and causing near collisions with on coming vehicles exiting the property.

Our community has growing tremendously with children and dogs we need to maintain the speed limit surrounding the park to insure none of our children or pets is placed in harms way. Speed limit signs will not work we need to have large speed bumps to slow the traffic down around the park.

These are the few accomplishments that we have made and we have a long road to go in maintaining the quality of life you expect and deserve. As your President I will insure that I hold this office with my utmost ability to insure that our safety and welfare is maintained. No members of the Board receive any payments to do this job; we do it because we care about this community.

Sincerely;

Steve Sanson
