Park West
I'm also a Park West resident.
The gated community at the South West corner of Escarpment/LaCrosse is controlled by Hammond's Homes until the last home is sold. It's projected that within a year they will sell the last home and the residents will have majority vote and be able to have control of the Park West Board.
The landscape contract was just awarded to Circle C Landscape again. Circle C Landscape (Susan Hoover) was given the contract a few years ago as a favor from Hammond's to Bradley development. A landscape committee (made up of 100% residents) put out sealed bids for the first time ever to 9 landscape companies. The PW BOD allowed this to happen, but only if the management company they hired could take the sealed bids directly and by a deadline last month. The PW BOD told us that only one company submitted a bid out of the nine, Circle C Landscape. Many residents here in Park West find it difficult to believe (that in this economy) only one of nine would submit a bid.
We were also told tonight at the meeting that all board meetings were open to residents, but that meetings are last minute and nobody would tell us when and where. I am dead serious.
Circle C HOA governing documents gave majority votes to the developer (Bradley Development of which Bartlett & Hoover were top employees) until December 2002. This is the first year (2003) that the Circle C residents have the majority vote in the CCHOA.
