  • More Vandalism in the Parks

    More Vandalism in the Parks

    Well, I was about to post on the new table and benches we added to the parks, but then someone or some persons had to and ruin things… again.

    They flipped the newly installed table between the group of trees on it’s side, pulling the concrete supports out of the ground with it. This was, well is, the 3rd table for the parks and was the reason we had placed a 3rd trashcan and grill in that area earlier. I say, “is” because the table seems to be ok, but it will need to be installed again, with deeper supports, which will cost the community more money.

    Newly Installed 3rd Table and More Benches Around the Parks

    Newly Installed 3rd Table
    Newly Installed Bench 1
    Newly Installed Bench 2
    Newly Installed Bench 3

    Unfortunately, this was not the only table that got vandalized. The smaller park’s table in the ramada was flipped upside down. They seemed to have unscrewed one of the lag bolts and pulled the other out of the concrete, making a crack around the hole where the bolt used to be.

    Smaller Park Table was Flipped Upside Down
    Cracked Concrete from where Bolt was Pulled Out

    This is just the latest in a growing list of damages and theft in recent years. A police report has been filed and those who are caught doing any kind of theft, vandalism and/or damages will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and and will be fined any costs for full replacement of items or repair to property.

    Please help your community stay safe and look great!

    If you see anyone doing any of the things mentioned above, or if you have any information on the damages in the photos below, or anything else that should likely be reported, please contact our Community Manager, or the HOA Board directly. Remember, theft, vandalism and/or damages, will add costs to the community, which in the end, will lead to higher assessment fees and fines.

    Photos below are of some of the damages.

    Shed was Completely Destroyed
    Message Board was Broken into and Plexiglass Cracked
    Tables in Larger Park Seems to have been Beaten with a Hammer
    Trashcan Lid Cables Cut and Lids have been Tossed Around and Bent
    New Steps have been Rode Over by a Motorcycle and Caused a Gap and Scrapes and Chips

    Tire Tracks / Motorcycle has been Seen Riding in Parks

  • More Downed Trees  & Erosion & Other Updates

    More Downed Trees & Erosion & Other Updates

    Storm Damages

    The recent storm has once again knocked down a couple more trees on Acoma. The HOA is already on top of these and they should be cleared soon.

    Park Erosion

    The clean up around the playground area and sandlot is still underway. We had a few supply shortages with the railroad ties that will be placed around the sandlot as well as on the north side just west of the playground they will be used to create layered platforms to make large steps into the park. The erosion holes should be filled with concrete any day now which will prevent those from having any further issues.

    Walkway and a Table

    The walkway / path into the larger park (main photo) on the west side had flagstone pavers that were very loose and on uneven ground. We have decided to remove the pavers and instead use decomposed granite aka “baseball field dirt.” It doesn’t become muddy like regular dirt and it’s easy to maintain and replenish when needed. The curbing at the bottom needs a bit of work still however.

    We also replaced the table in the ramada on the south (smaller) park. The previous table had much rust due to the rubber coating peeling off and the table overall was not too stable.

    Landscaping

    We are also aware that there are weeds around the community and some trees and bushes that need trimming. These are being addressed, albeit a bit longer than we’d like, due to the storms and our landscaping being shorthanded due to covid.

  • 2nd Attempt Election Results

    2nd Attempt Election Results

    It was a very close call, but we did meet quorum this time with the minimum of 28 submitted ballots.

    Jason Etzel and Anthony Wrinkler were voted for and will remain on the Board. Jason has been President for most of the past 2 years, while Anthony was appointed to the Board by the current Board members, Jason and Wayne to fill in the 3rd seat. This Board was taken down to a 3 member Board last year.

    The Board has agreed to remain in their current seats with one exception, Anthony will now occupy the role of Treasurer. Please keep in mind however, while we do have our individual roles, that this Board also works closely together, along with our Community Management team, we all try to help out each other and ensure we’re all in the know and double checking details, invoices, financials and more. This is how things should be handled and will remain being handled for as long as we are on the Board. This is why the community has been looking better and why we are getting things done.

    Together this Board has added new activities, tables and benches, and solar lights to the parks or adding the message board and this website to post community updates to, and more.. and of course, we’re not even close to being done.

  • Happy Easter Saturday!?

    Happy Easter Saturday!?

    On Saturday, April 16th, starting around 10:00AM, the community will celebrate Easter by having fun in the large park. We figured Saturday would be better day to get the community together, that way families can have Sunday for doing their own activities. There are a couple of residents, Brittany and Kayci, that have volunteered to be a committee and will plan and run the event. There will be plenty of candy, food, drinks and fun for all! Please see below for more details and what you can do, should you want to help out.

    Details

    There will be a bounce house and other activities (yet to be finalized) but may include bag toss game, face painting, pillow case/potato sack race, and Easter eggs will be hidden around the park for the little ones to find. Some eggs will contain candy, others may contain small toys or erasers and in a few you just may find a limited edition Greenway Parc 2 token. These tokens can be used to get special gifts or candy, and can also be taken home as a collectable keepsake in itself.

    Besides the candy in the hidden eggs, we’ll also have extra candy to hand out and will serving fried chicken and pizza, macaroni or potato salad, and chips. Water and soda will also be provided. If anyone, wants to bring other food, please do so! But remember to bring enough to feed at least 30 residents or more. One resident has already mentioned they will be bringing frozen Otter Pops and Capri-Sun drinks. Plates and napkins will also be provided. If you have extra tables or chairs, please let the Board know as they may be needed.

  • Newly Painted Park Ramadas

    Newly Painted Park Ramadas

    The ramadas in the parks have been newly painted with a cleaner look. As the colors of the community have more earthly tones, we removed the red color and we kept the green for the main color and yellow to match the table and benches. The basketball hoop post was also re-painted in yellow.

    Introducing Poor Daddy’s Landscaping

    The State of the Community

    Good help is hard to come by. As President of this community’s Board of Directors, I can honestly say that Wayne (VP) and myself have constantly tried to get our past landscaping vendor to do what they were contractually obligated to do. In fact, Wayne has personally walked this community almost everyday for over the past 1 year and a half watching the landscaping vendor, taking notes, talking to them, pointing things out, I mean you name it. And despite those efforts, the vendor just didn’t come through. Promises were broken, plants were not watered, trees did not get trimmed, etc, etc etc. Of course, to some in the community it makes it look like we’re not doing our jobs as Board members.. but I assure you we are on top of things. And we always set out to do the best for this community. But sometimes you need to play things out. Let the vendors do their jobs that they were hired to do.

    But when things aren’t working, when vendors fall short and adjustments need to be made, what are you to do? Do you give them and second chance? A third chance? Do you call supervisors or upper management? Yes, yes and yes. And then what? Things still don’t look up to par and we get violations from the City of Surprise. Not only does this make us look bad, it makes us feel bad, because we’re honestly trying to get things done and stay on top of our vendors. But we can only do so much, the vendor needs to do their jobs as well or things don’t work.. things don’t get done. So.. then we must find a new vendor and start over. Well that has now happened.. again! This is the second landscaping team we’ve let go because they did not perform as they should have.. not even as a little bit. And they were a large, very large company that handles properties across the country. Since becoming Board members there is one thing Wayne set out to do.. make this place look great again. And that’s exactly what we’re going to do! And sometimes that means changing vendors until we find the right one. I don’t know if being a large vendor has played a part in there abilities to do their job, but I do know the blame always went up the chain. The vendor before them was a large company as well. So this time we decided to find a different company, a smaller company, one that we can directly communicate with the owner, and one where the owner is not only out there working himself, but also other family members and they all take pride in their work. And it’s already starting to show.

    Introducing our new landscaping vendor, Poor Daddy’s Landscaping

    Jim, owner of Poor Daddy’s Landscaping, has taken time to write a note to the community because he wants you to know what he and his team are doing and from photos you’ll see what they have already done.

    Good Evening,

    Below you will find some pictures of the progress we are making on the cleanup of the community.

    As you already know, there are some challenges and concerns with the current state of the landscape at Greenway Parc II.  This is due in part to the lack of quality work from the previous landscape company.  Poor Daddy’s Landscaping, while somewhat slower, will continue to work diligently to complete the beautification of this project with higher levels of quality and care than in previous years.

    As to the timeline of completion, we hope to have the entire property up to a standard both the residents and board would approve of by the end of February 2022.  From that point, the maintenance should be much less invasive and more manageable.  Currently, service is 1-2 days per week to address these issues.  After the original cleanup is complete, service will continue 1 day a week on Thursdays each month.

    The City Violations will be addressed within the timeline provided.

    Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

    Jim

    Here’s a downloadable flyer from Jim

    If you see Jim and his team working, please give them praise! However, if you have any questions we do ask that you leave them to their work and ask your questions to the Board or community management.

  • More Solar Lighting

    More Solar Lighting

    We know there are some residents that like to utilize the park at night. where to play basketball, sit at the benches or just to walk around. While we encourage use of the park, even at night, while being respectful of neighboring homes and keeping the sound down, of course, we do want to make it a safe as possible. A months back, we added one solar light as a sort of trial, which seemed to be working successfully, so we then added one to the ramada where the table is. Again, successful. The ramada in the smaller park will be getting one as well (plus a new table) soon.

    Now we have added another solar light to give some focus to the basketball court. We didn’t want anything too bright as to shine in players eyes as they shoot the ball, but we wanted to bring enough light as well. We may added another light on the opposite side of the court as well, if needed.

  • Light Shines on Our Monuments

    Light Shines on Our Monuments

    We have added some solar lights to the monuments as you enter from Acoma. These lights not only shine a little light on the community name but also are part of our efforts to improve the community visuals and show nearby residents and visitors that we care about our community and how it’s viewed by others.

    As part of those efforts to improve the community, we also are trying to make it safer. We already added one large LED solar light in the park to help bring some light to an otherwise darker area. But we have seen various people using the ramadas at night and it is quite dark, so we also added a solar light there. The smaller park’s ramada will be getting one as well shortly, as well as a new table.
