ANNUAL OWNERS' MEETING:
An Annual Meeting is traditionally held in February each year. This meeting is specifically held to inform the Members about the previous year's activities, finances, new laws, etc. The Board does not conduct business at this meeting. If balloting is needed, to elect new officers for the Board or to amend Bylaws or CC&Rs, etc., the Election inspectors will count ballots during the meeting and announce results. The Notice of Annual Meeting is published in December and a link to the Agenda is added by early February.
BALLOTING: Desert Ridge HOA follows procedures set by AZ law and the Planned Communities Act regarding absentee voting. Nominations from the floor are not allowed. Ballots cannot be accepted after the start of the Annual Meeting. Our HOA makes every effort to provide Owners with advance information on candidates for the Board of Directors and/or issues requiring the Owners' votes.
Issues and candidates requiring a vote from the Owners will be announced a month in advance.
Ballots will be hand-delivered by the 10 Block Captains or mailed to absentee owners at their Desert Ridge address. Absentee Owners are responsible for mail forwarding. Full instructions will be included.
No one knows HOW you voted, only THAT you voted.
These procedures provide for anonymous voting and ensure there is only one vote per household.
GOVERNING DOCUMENTS. Please read and adhere to the CC&Rs, Bylaws and Amendments and RULES & REGULATIONS.
They are published under their respective tabs. New CC&Rs and Rules and Regulations were enacted for 2016 by vote of the Owners. These documents set the standards to enhance and protect our property values as well as provide clear guidance to the Board and Committees in applying the standards consistently.
